USAGE AGREEMENT FOR

THE MIAMI UNIVERSITY DECEPTION DETECTION DATABASE

(Lloyd, Deska, Hugenberg, McConnell, Humphrey, & Kunstman, 2017)

Introduction
Lloyd, Deska, Hugenberg, McConnell, Humphrey, & Kunstman (2017) created the
Miami University Deception Detection Database (MU3D) for research purposes. The
MU3D is a free resource containing 320 videos of Black and White targets, female and
male, telling truths and lies. Eighty (20 Black female, 20 Black male, 20 White female,
and 20 White male) targets were recorded speaking honestly and dishonestly about their
social relationships. Each target generated four different videos (i.e., positive truth,
negative truth, positive lie, negative lie), yielding 320 videos fully crossing target race,
target gender, statement valence, and statement veracity. This database is accompanied
by an excel codebook which includes data pertinent to the videos and targets included in
the database. Please sign this agreement and send it to E. Paige Lloyd
(emilypaigelloyd@gmail.com) to gain access to the database.
