Akmal Mirsadikov et al.
What the paper says
Whether we like it or not, deceptive communication is an ever-present aspect of personal interactions, and it should come as no surprise that it is deeply embedded in communication over computer-mediated means. Researchers in the field of information systems have studied deceptive communication for decades, borrowing theories from referent fields and ultimately developing their own. As the technology involved progresses and becomes more sophisticated, the manner in which deception is manifested online also becomes more complicated and the consequences become more severe, leading to renewed calls for research in this area. This monograph reviews the theoretical foundations found in past IS research on computer-mediated deception, highlighting key studies that have contributed to our understanding of attempts to deceive others. The discussion then examines new directions that research should take in the hopes of inspiring more work in this critical area.
