Summary:This prelude to the Socio-Cultural Attitudinal Networks project, funded by the U.S. Army Research Office Multi-University Research Initiative, introduces the concept of relational communication and its relationship to interpersonal deception. The research protocol is described wherein groups of interactants engaged in a multi-round game of Resistance during which truthful and deceptive group members (in the role of Villagers or Spies) tried to win or fail the missions. Presented are results of repeated measures regression analyses of group members’ perceptions of one another on relational dimensions of dominance, arousal, and trustworthiness, rated after every two rounds. Discriminant analyses identified final-round trust, baseline dominance, round four trust, and final round trust as the significant predictors of who were the deceivers (Spies) or truth tellers (Villagers). Cross-validated accuracy was 81% for Villagers and 65% for Spies.
