Ten men and 16 women, all students at Israel's Hebrew University who applied individually for a vocational consultation, volunteered to participate in the study. Half of these subjects were randomly assigned to a guilty condition and were asked to act in a hypothetical situation in which they are looking for a job and face the need to deceive the potential employer about their qualifications to enhance their prospects. The other half were asked to act in an innocent context according to which they have the desired qualifications and therefore are telling the truth to the employer. Both groups were invited to a hypothetical interview with their employer and were presented a set of 10 questions, including two relevant questions that asked about their qualifications and two unexpected control questions that asked about hypothetical misdeeds of their prior employment. After completing the Control Question Technique, set subjects were asked questions about the hypothetical situation to indicate whether they understood their role. One additional question asked the subjects to indicate up to three issues about which they were most concerned. The mean number of each type of question mentioned by each group of subjects was the dependent variable. The study confirmed the hypothesis based on the rationale for the Control Question Technique. 3 references
