Abstract: Studies on lying and lie-detection by western psychologists in last half-century are mainly concerned with lie-detection accuracy and the way to improve detection ability. Empirical findings indicate that lying is a fact of everyday life; general detection accuracy is not greater than chance; people’s beliefs about lying cues, which are defined as the verbal and non-verbal differences between truth-telling and lying, are not in accordance with the real picture revealed by the psychologists. Moderators of cues to deception and detection accuracy include motivation, interactivity, personality differences, context, et al. Lying behavior shows some unique features in computer-mediated-communication

Key words: deception, lie, lie-detection, cues
