Week 7: Annotated Bibliography

To write my bibliography I used four of my previous resources. Because we needed to include four journals in total I found two new journal resources to use in my paper using the research skills I used in previous weeks. The two journals I used were Mental And Physical Countermeasures Reduce The Accuracy Of Polygraph Tests by Charles R. Honts, David C. Raskin, and John C. Kirche and Psychopathy, Threat, And Polygraph Test Accuracy by Christopher J. Patrick, and William G. Iacono. The first thing that makes me feel that these sources are credible is that I located them using the Leatherby Library database. Secondly, both of these journals are associated with the Journal Of Applied Psychology. I think it is pretty clear at this point with all the research that has been done that polygraph exams are not 100% accurate. When these tests are used in formal settings such as law enforcement and the judicial system they should be much more accurate to be in use. 

I think I finally have the answer to my research question: Are polygraph exams a proper evaluation, able to determine if an individual is telling the truth?

The following are the six resources I used in my bibliography:
