Article Abstract
This study investigates the effect of goal disclosure on deceptive behaviors, along with the underlying psychological mechanisms and moderating factors. The experiment employed a between-subjects design with one independent variable (goal disclosure: public vs. private). Participants completed a matrix task in the formal experiment, which was employed as a paradigm to objectively measure deceptive behaviors without notice of the participants. The findings indicate that when people share their goals with others, they are more likely to engage in deceptive behaviors than when they keep their goals private. This effect is mediated by goal commitment and moderated by moral identity. These results suggest that allowing employees to set goals privately may help mitigate ethical risks.

Objectives: To estimate the effect of the passage of state laws targeting patient brokering on opioid-related outcomes.
Background: In response to growing awareness of unethical substance use disorder (SUD) treatment practices, several states in the United States have passed laws targeting patient brokering and deceptive marketing. Patient brokering and deceptive marketing laws are intended to reduce the chances individuals with SUD interact with bad actors or suffer from adverse outcomes related to inappropriate SUD treatment, but the effectiveness of these laws is unknown.

When different information sources on a given topic are combined, they interact in a nontrivial manner for a rational receiver of these information sources. Suppose that there are two information sources, one is genuine and the other contains disinformation. It is shown that under the conditions that the signal-to-noise ratio of the genuine information source is sufficiently large, and that the noise terms in the two information sources are positively correlated, the effect of disinformation is reversed from its original intent.

While anyone can fall victim to deception with deleterious impact, age-related changes in financial, cognitive, socioemotional, and neurobiological factors convey greater risk to older adults. Neural responses underlying deception detection may elucidate age-related vulnerability or resilience to deception. Here, we examined 53 young (18-33 years) and 50 older (55-78 years) adults who underwent fMRI while aiming to detect deception in naturalistic, high-stakes videos (ie, pleas for information about a missing relative, where later some of the pleaders were found guilty in the murder of the missing relative).

Traditional lie detection relies on the experience of human interrogators, making it susceptible to subjective factors and leading to misjudgments. To solve this problem, we propose an emotion-enhanced deception detection model, Lie Detection using XGBoost with RoBERTa-based Emotion Features (LieXBerta). In this framework, the Robustly Optimized BERT Pretraining Approach (RoBERTa) is used to extract emotional features from interrogation texts.

Background: This study aimed to validate a comprehensive and psychometrically sound instrument-the Propensity to Cheat Scale (PCS)-designed to measure undergraduate students' propensity toward academic dishonesty in Ethiopian universities. Based on Ajzen's Theory of Planned Behavior, the PCS was validated to assess students' attitudes, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control related to various forms of cheating, including cheating on tests and examinations, cheating on assignments, cheating on research work (plagiarism), and theft and mutilation of library materials.
Methods: The present study employed an explanatory research design using a questionnaire based on the Propensity to Cheat Scale (PCS).
