Unit 7 – Motivation, Emotion, and Personality
Topic 7.10
What would be an ethically questionable aspect of using lie detector tests for personality assessment?
It is not designed for assessing personality traits but detecting lies.
Lie detectors can produce false positives leading to unwarranted accusations.
Most people can easily manipulate the results of these tests with practice.
These machines are expensive and thus not accessible for many practitioners.
