Abstrakt: We examined lay persons' and police officers' abilities to detect lying in second-language speakers. Participants ( N = 121) viewed targets who were lying or telling the truth about an event in either their first or second languages. Overall, participants were better able to detect deception in native-language speakers than second-language speakers. In addition, they tended to believe that native-language speakers were telling the truth. However, contrary to our hypotheses, expertise did not affect lie detection performance. Implications will be discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
