Can nervousness affect the polygraph test?
To be nervous before a lie detector test is not uncommon. Nervousness can not affect the result of the test - lies well do.
Is it possible to trick the polygraph?
Assuming the person conducting the interview is trained and qualified to perform the test, this is highly unlikely. The polygraph is a medical device that changes the autonomic reactivity of a person records while being interviewed. If a person has made an effort to control their behavior in order to distort the result, this is for a trained tester obvious when he looks at the polygraph recording.
