Background
Bella DePaulo is a Professor of Psychology at the University of Virginia.
For the past 20 years, she has been studying the communication of deception,
including diary studies of lying in everyday life and the role of lying
in relationships, as well as experimental research on the effectiveness
of lies. She also studies nonverbal behavior, often from a self-presentational
prespective. Currently, she is working on meta-analyses of the hundreds
of studies of deceptive communications. She has also been concerned with
developmental processes in the use and understanding of deception.
