Abstract Deception is ubiquitous in daily life, with emotion constituting a significant factor influencing the emergence and modulation of deceptive behavior. By investigating the impact of emotional valence and arousal on deceptive behavior, it has been observed that negative emotion tend to augment individual's engagement in deceptive behavior. However, findings regarding deceptive behaviors under the influence of positive emotion are inconsistent, possibly stemming from variations in experimental settings and research emphases. Negative emotion seem to shape individuals' perception of external cues and internal moral standards. Emotion arousal contributes to divergent effects on deceptive behaviors, particularly evident in instances of self-deception and deception towards others. Future research could delve into the differential effects of emotion in diverse deceptive scenarios and individual traits, as well as conduct more in-depth investigations into the cognitive neuroscience of deceptive behavior under the influence of emotion.
