Psychology 375: Language and Deception

Caveats:

1. You will need to be on Carleton campus to access these files. (Or be using the Carleton proxy server on your web browser.)
2. You will need Adobe Reader to read these files.
3. Some of them may be large and may take some time to download and/or to print.
4. Some of the files have strange formatting because of how they were scanned, and I have not had time to fix them yet.
5. Not all of the articles have been scanned yet, but I hopefully will have them done at least a week before we will discuss them in class.
