A communication study was conducted regarding the perception of deception through both face-to-face (FTF) and computer communication ( CMC). This was achieved by modifying previous studies conducted in this area to give dispatchers (potential deceivers) the choice of being deceptive or honest. MethodDistributors were given money to divide and the recipient was not aware of the total amount. It was the role of the receiver to evaluate and determine the level of deception described by the allocator. Once the exchange was over, the two participants answered a questionnaire about their experience. It was found that when dispatchers were perceived to behave dishonestly, it made receivers more suspicious of deception. Furthermore, receivers' correct identification of deception was higher with the use of CMC than FTF. With a sample of 388 undergraduate students, Van Swol, Braun, and Kolb (2013) conducted this study empirically and qualitatively, adopting deductive reasoning and developing multiple hypotheses. predict relationships between variables. The results from this sample are not generalizable due to their size and lack of diversity. Using current and relevant sources from previous studies as a backdrop, this study was modified so that dispatchers were given the choice to lie or tell the truth. In previous studies, the researcher informed the allocator how to behave regarding deception. ResultsA major limitation of this study was the small sample size and lack of diversity. For this reason, the correlation is not significant to warrant conclusive evidence. The results of the questionnaire showed that 20.6% of dispatchers lied to receivers and 72.3% told the truth (Appendix II). This indicates that dispatchers felt more comfortable in the middle of paper......elements that could be added to improve the overall message. By including Goffman's (1959) idea of ​​the Self, we would be able to better understand what drives a person to be deceptive or honest and how certain platforms affect the ease of detecting this deception. As it stands, this article is very specific in terms of participants and cannot be generalized, leaving it open to further studies. Works Cited Goffman, E. (1959). Daily self-presentation.
