Miami University Deception Detection Database

Abstract

Lloyd, Deska, Hugenberg, McConnell, Humphrey, & Kunstman (2017) created the Miami University Deception Detection Database (MU3D) for research purposes. The MU3D is a free resource containing 320 videos of Black and White targets, female and male, telling truths and lies. Eighty (20 Black female, 20 Black male, 20 White female, and 20 White male) targets were recorded speaking honestly and dishonestly about their social relationships. Each target generated four different videos (i.e., positive truth, negative truth, positive lie, negative lie), yielding 320 videos fully crossing target race, target gender, statement valence, and statement veracity. This database is accompanied by an excel codebook which includes data pertinent to the videos and targets included in the database. Please sign this agreement and send it to E. Paige Lloyd (emilypaigelloyd@gmail.com) to gain access to the database.

If using a mac and experiencing difficulty opening some of the videos, converting to mp4 may help.
