Spotting fake Amazon product reviews, with language analyst Olu Popoola

People Who Read People: A Behavior and Psychology Podcast

I talk with Olu Popoola, a forensic linguistic analyst, deception researcher, and fraud investigator, about spotting indicators of false, deceptive text. Topics discussed include: what linguistic analysis for deception entails; using "coherence relations" (i.e., how the phrases and sentences in a text relate to each other) to detect deception; indicators of fake Amazon book reviews and true/honest ones; Olu's research into Amazon reviews of Hillary Clinton’s 2017 book "What Happened?"; the importance of detection deception in our current internet age.
