Abstract
This study was designed to investigate the effects of question tense (past, present, future, and conditional) on intentionally deceptive and truthful responses to questions asked during employment interviews. The results from the multiple discriminant analyses identified 6 variables which differentiated between truthful and deceptive messages and 19 variables which differentiated between the four temporal conditions. Future research should be conducted with caution to control for the potential affects of verb tense and question difficulty.
