Recent research shows that the quality of a baseline (i.e., the analysis of one's behavior in normal conditions) decreases when the second narrative is expected and deceitful. However, a first step would be to investigate whether the writing of a first narrative might influence the second, independently of its expectancy. In this study, we hypothesized that second narratives would be less detailed, especially if these narratives are deceptive. Participants (N = 71) were asked to narrate two consecutive truthful and deceptive narratives. The second narrative was unexpected, and the order of the narratives was counterbalanced. Results suggest a detrimental effect of deceptiveness and order on the frequency of details. Moreover, an interaction was observed, suggesting when narratives are written after a first one, the frequency of details decreases, all the more if they were deceptive. The results of this experiment are discussed from both a theoretical and an applied perspective.

基准影响欺骗性叙述的产生

最近的研究表明，当第二种叙述是预期的和欺骗性的时，基线的质量（即对正常情况下的行为分析）就会降低。但是，第一步将是调查第一个叙述的写作是否可能影响第二个叙述，而与预期无关。在这项研究中，我们假设第二种叙事将不那么详细，尤其是如果这些叙事具有欺骗性。参与者（N = 71）被要求叙述两个连续的真实和欺骗性叙述。第二种叙事是出乎意料的，并且叙事的顺序被抵消了。结果表明欺骗性和顺序对细节频率的有害影响。此外，还观察到一种互动，这暗示着叙述是在第一个叙述之后写成的，细节的频率降低，如果它们具有欺骗性，则更是如此。从理论和应用的角度讨论了该实验的结果。
