Frédéric Tomas
@frederictomas.bsky.social
Assistant Prof. (Tilburg University), living in Brussels (Belgium). Main topics are deception, tech in forensic psychology and communication, and conspiracy theories. Opinions own.
We assessed 3 questions:
1. Do police officers have more accurate beliefs than laypeople? (Nope.)
2. Does confidence in your beliefs mean expecting more signs of lying? (Yep.)
3. Do we expect strangers to show more signs of lying than ourselves or close others? (Yep again—hello attribution bias!)

🔍 New research out!
Colleagues from @unil.bsky.social, @univ-paris8.fr , and myself (@tilburg-university.bsky.social) explored how police officers and laypeople think about deception cues—and whether those beliefs hold up. This paper is now out in the Journal of Police and Criminal Psychology!

This week, I had the privilege to present our work at the Department of Communication and Cognition (@tilburg-university.bsky.social) on the use of chatbots for eyewitness interviewing purposes in the buildings of the Belgian National Police to a large panel of French-speaking police psychologists.

Il y a un enjeu à l'accueil des collègues étasuniens en UE : celui du refinancement de l'enseignement supérieur. Imaginez débouler en France d'universités américaines hyperfinancées, pour voir qu'en moins de 20 ans, on a réussi à définancer l'ESR de 30%. Soyons vraiment attractifs : refinancons.

J'apprécie que tu aies enlevé la titraille de guignols, mais faut afficher ce genre de propos honteux.

🤖👮💬 Would you trust a chatbot for an eyewitness interview?
Our new study (Tomas & Immerzeel, J. Crim. Psych., 2025) explores why people adopt chatbots in investigations.
🔍 Key findings:
✅ The more useful and easy to use, the higher the adoption.

So proud of my students that I forgot to post about my work on AI disclosures on Instagram, and their negative effect on ad & brand attitude at @etmaal2025.bsky.social, an effect partly explained by low perceived creativity & effort.

Very proud of Pirkko Sarkki (PhD candidate under my supervision) and @irmaksancar.bsky.social (MSc valedictorian that I had the pleasure to supervise) presenting their research on AI in the criminal justice system and the language of depression, respectively, at @etmaal2025.bsky.social! #etmaal25
