Guozhen An (Tony) Curriculum Vitae RESEARCH Deceptive Speech across Cultures 2012–Present Advisor: Andrew Rosenberg and Rivka Levitan Deception in speech is indicated by a wide range of spoken behaviors. These vary both within and across speakers. We are currently examining the cultural contributions to deceptive behavior. There is also evidence that a listener’s personality can have a significant impact in their ability to detect deception. We are expanding this investigation to explore the impact of a speaker’s personality on cues of deception in their speech.
