The principle behind polygraph tests is that when an individual is deceptive, his body exhibits involuntary responses in Polygraph examination. The result of polygraph examination is not only detecting lie but also work as psychological tools to induce confession. Post test interview play an important role when subjects see charts or sense the deceptive response, they experience a fear that deception has been caught. This emotional state makes subject to confess the crime under investigation.
