Deception production High levels of self-disclosure and honesty in text-based contexts when interviewed by computer compared to face-to-face: • more symptoms & undesirable behaviors reported (Griest, Klein & VanCura, 1973) • more sexual partners and symptoms reported (Robinson & West, 1992) • more honest, candid answers in pre-clinical psychiatric interviews (Ferriter, 1993) • 20% of telephone callers vs. 50% of email contacts report suicidal feelings (The Scotsman, 1999)
