Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Most psychologists actually do not support the use of polygraphs as a reliable measure of truthfulness. The American Psychological Association (APA) has stated that "there is no consensus among scientific experts regarding the efficacy of polygraph techniques" and that "polygraph evidence has serious scientific limitations, which make it vulnerable to misuse as a tool of interrogation and investigation."
