Further, use of countermeasures (physical) would be more for supraliminal stimuli as compared to subliminal stimuli. Purposive total samples of 79 adults with (age range between 20-28 years) were selected for the present study. Windows Based Computerised Lie Detector (CLD-118) and Aversion Therapy Instrument (MBT-498) were used in present study. For analyses of the data, Friedman Test (non-parametric) followed by Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test (non-parametric), were applied. In the present investigation the effectiveness of subliminal stimuli in deterring the execution of countermeasures was studied, revealed that subliminal stimuli acted as a deterrent to physical countermeasures. The present findings indicate that subliminal stimuli can be used as a deterrent to countermeasures (Physical) in Lie Detection. ER -
