Theoretical overview of the experience of the countries of the world on the use of the polygraph in psychophysiological research

Abstract

The article considers the experience of the countries of the world in the use of the polygraph. In particular, a brief history and current experience of using the polygraph are analyzed and summarized, indicating the areas of use and best practices of countries in the use of this tool for psychophysiological research.
The methodology of the article is based on the concentration of information obtained as a result of the selection, analysis, systematization, and logical generalization of scientific literature; analyticaland synthetic understanding of theoretical materials and information that comprehensively characterize the existing level of the state of the problem, its analysis, and evaluation, as well as
identifying the main trends, directions, and prospects for the development of psychophysiologicalresearch using a polygraph.
As a result, the possibilities of the polygraph in the diagnosis and early prevention of destructive tendencies of youth behavior are considered, it is proved that the international experience of using
the polygraph mainly consists in the fight against crime. It is concluded that the legislation of most countries is very cautious about using the results of psychophysiological studies conducted with the help of a polygraph, since the use of the device is probabilistic, and the results of the study are based on the subjective assessment of a polygraph specialist.
