The method became widely adopted… [372] (1971 • CLASSIC)The Reliability of Polygraph Examiner Diagnosis of Truth and Deception
Journal of Criminal Law and Criminology Seminal reliability study examining agreement among polygraph examiners interpreting the same charts.

Backster developed the first numerical scoring system using a seven-point scale (-3 to +3) for evaluating physiological responses in comparison question tests, and established the… [374] (1969)Technique Fundamentals of Tri-Zone Polygraph Test
Backster formalized a structured three-zone question format (red/relevant, green/comparison, black/irrelevant) with numerical scoring (+3 to -3) across multiple physiological channels, establishing the You-Phase examination as… [375] (1969)Standardized Polygraph Notepack and Technique Guide. Backster Zone Comparison Technique
The ZCT pioneered numerical scoring in polygraph interpretation, replacing subjective assessment with a three-zone structure and cut-off scores (±5). This innovation became the most widely… [376] (1969)Standardized polygraph examination notepack
The notepack established the three-zone structure (Red, Green, Black zones) and numerical scoring system (+3 to -3) that became the foundation for modern polygraph examination… [377] (1966)Truth and Deception: The Polygraph (Lie-Detector) Technique
Williams & Wilkins The book authoritatively codified the Reid Control Question Technique — including multi-channel physiological recording, control question logic, stimulation tests, and symptom-based chart interpretation — establishing… [378] (1966)Truth and Deception
The manual introduced the full Reid technique including control question methodology, the silent answer test, card tests, and procedures for managing responsive and unresponsive examinees,… [379] (1966)Principles of psychophysiology
The text systematized critical principles including arousal, habituation, orienting and defensive responses, autonomic balance, the law of initial values, stimulus-response specificity, and individual response stereotypy,… [380] (1965)Ethics and the Polygraph Examiner
The Journal of Criminal Law, Criminology, and Police Science The paper established that polygraph examiners must maintain professional neutrality and have ethical obligations to both examinees and employing agencies, laying conceptual groundwork for the… [381] (1962)Criminal Interrogation and Confessions
Williams & Wilkins (First Edition) The 1962 manual formalized the Reid Technique's nine-step interrogation process and linked polygraph examination outcomes directly to psychological interrogation strategy, becoming the foundational practitioner text… [382] (1959)A Comparison of Arm-Cuff and Wrist-Cuff Blood Pressure Patterns in Polygraph Charts
The Journal of Criminal Law, Criminology, and Police Science The study provided empirical comparison of arm-cuff and wrist-cuff blood pressure monitoring methods, contributing to evidence-based standardization of polygraph instrumentation and technique during a pivotal… [383] (1959)Recent Book: Academy Lectures on Lie Detection
The Police Journal: Theory, Practice and Principles This is a book review of an educational text, not an empirical research study with original findings. [384] (1958)Statement of Principles regarding Polygraph ("Lie-Detector") Examinations
The Journal of Criminal Law, Criminology, and Police Science This historical policy document established early guidelines for professional polygraph conduct, examiner qualifications, and ethical practice during a formative period when the field lacked formal… [385] (1954)An Academy of Polygraph ("Lie-Detector") Examiners
The Journal of Criminal Law, Criminology, and Police Science The paper announced the establishment of a professional academy for polygraph examiners in 1954, one of several organizations that would later merge to form the… [386] (1954)Academy of Polygraph (Lie-Detector) Examiners, An
Journal of Criminal Law & Criminology Inbau identified the absence of standardized training and professional credentialing as the primary barrier to polygraph legitimacy, and proposed a formal academy model — a… [387] (1953)Lie detection and criminal investigation
The work formalized the Control Question Test approach, integrated behavioral observation with physiological measurement, and established standardized pre-test interview procedures that became foundational to the… [388] (0)The detection of deception in cross-cultural settings : the effects of training and language on lie detection ability in Hong Kong Chinese
Observers were more successful at identifying liars when speakers used their second language (English) but made significantly more errors judging truthful speakers as deceptive in… [389] (0)Practice for Quality Control of Psychophysiological Detection of Deception (Polygraph) Examinations
The standard established that all polygraph examinations may be subjected to quality control review by experienced examiners, with reviews required to be independent and objective.… [390] (0)Practices for Interpretation of Psychophysiological Detection of Deception (Polygraph) Data
The standard requires that acceptable test data analysis procedures be published in refereed journals with confirmed replications, that examiners use only methods for which they… [391] (0)Practice for Calibration and Functionality Checks Used in Forensic Psychophysiological Detection of Deception (Polygraph) Examinations
The standard establishes that analog polygraphs may be calibrated by examiners, manufacturers, or authorized individuals, while computerized instrumentation must be calibrated by manufacturers or factory-authorized… [392] (0)Guide for Requirements for Psychophysiological Detection of Deception (PDD) Examiners
