The European Center for Credibility Assessment offers a powerful tool to help couples restore trust: the polygraph. Utilizing advanced technology from the Stoelting CPS Elite Polygraph, which boasts 98% accuracy in tests with three questions, 95% in tests with four questions, and 92% in tests with five questions, the center provides clear and objective answers to couples in crisis.
Below, we explore three cases where the polygraph helped resolve important conflicts in relationships, from infidelity to addiction and financial problems.
Three Cases Where the Polygraph Changed the Outcome
- John and Emily: The Infidelity That Never Happened
John and Emily had been married for 15 years, but in recent months, their marriage began to deteriorate. Emily noticed that John was acting strangely: late-night phone calls, hidden text messages, and an increasing emotional distance. These signs led Emily to suspect that John was being unfaithful.
Arguments became frequent, and although John denied all accusations, Emily couldn’t shake her doubts. Desperate to prove his innocence and save their relationship, John suggested undergoing a polygraph test at the European Center for Credibility Assessment, which uses the highly precise Stoelting CPS Elite polygraph.
The Evaluation Process
The process began with an initial interview in which both John and Emily explained their versions of events. After the interview, John signed an informed consent document, specifying who would be able to see the results of the test and confirming they would receive a detailed report.
The examiner then explained how the Stoelting CPS Elite polygraph worked. This smart polygraph measures various physiological responses such as respiration, heart rate, and skin conductivity, detecting possible lies based on physiological changes.
Once the administrative part was completed, a set of questions was prepared, containing no more than five relevant questions designed to address Emily’s concerns. These were the key questions asked of John during the test:
- Since the beginning of your relationship with Emily in January 2009, have you had sexual relations with anyone other than her?
- Throughout your relationship with Emily, have you interacted with other women through social media with the intention of seducing them?
- Are you currently hiding something serious from Emily that could lead to a breakup if she finds out?
The Stoelting CPS Elite polygraph, with its ability to detect precise physiological changes, revealed that John was telling the truth: he had not been unfaithful. This device uses advanced sensors to adjust results in real-time, providing nearly 98% reliability.
Upon learning the results, Emily felt a mix of relief and regret. The test eliminated all doubts, and they were able to work on rebuilding their relationship. They decided to attend couples therapy to continue strengthening their bond, now based on restored trust.
- Rachel and Olivia: The Addiction That Destroyed Trust
Rachel and Olivia had been together for three years, but recently, Olivia noticed a change in Rachel’s behavior. Rachel, who had previously struggled with drug addiction, began acting erratically: avoiding important conversations, showing irritability and lack of concentration, and growing increasingly distant.
Worried that Rachel had started using drugs again, Olivia tried talking to her, but Rachel denied everything. Drug use is often associated with secrecy, isolation, and denial, which only made Olivia more insecure. Finally, Olivia gave Rachel an ultimatum: she had to take a polygraph test to prove she wasn’t using drugs, or the relationship would end.
The Evaluation Process
Knowing she couldn’t keep hiding her behavior, Rachel agreed to take the test. During the evaluation, the examiner used the Stoelting CPS Elite polygraph, explaining its operation and how it could detect lies through changes in respiration, blood pressure, and skin conductivity. The following key questions were asked to determine if Rachel was being honest about her drug use:
- In the last three months, have you used illegal drugs without Olivia knowing?
- Have you hidden information about drug use from Olivia?
- Have you deliberately lied about your sobriety in the last six months?
The polygraph showed that Rachel had been lying. The device adjusted the results to her physiological response, showing elevated stress levels when asked about drug use. Devastated by the results, Olivia decided to leave and asked Rachel to enter a rehabilitation program. Realizing she could no longer hide her addiction, Rachel agreed to seek help.
- Mark and Sarah: The Hidden Gambling Problem
Mark and Sarah had been married for ten years, but in the last six months, Sarah noticed that Mark was bringing less money home. When she asked about the situation, he always said that his company was going through a crisis and that his working hours had been reduced. However, something didn’t add up: Mark was spending more time at bars and seemed increasingly concerned about financial issues.
In reality, Mark had developed a gambling addiction. He had started playing slot machines at the bars he frequented, spending up to 50 euros a day. His addiction was not only affecting their finances but also his relationship with Sarah, who suspected something else was going on.
Finally, Sarah asked Mark to take a polygraph test to uncover the truth behind his excuses. Knowing he could no longer hide his addiction, Mark agreed to take the test.
The Evaluation Process
During the test, the Stoelting CPS Elite polygraph was used, and Mark was asked the following key questions about his financial situation and his behavior at the bars:
- In the last six months, have you used family money to gamble without Sarah knowing?
- Have you lied about the crisis at your company to justify the lack of money at home?
- Have you gambled more than 50 euros daily in the last three months?
The polygraph revealed the truth: Mark had been lying about the crisis at his company and had been using family money to feed his gambling addiction. After learning the results, Sarah decided to take control of the household finances. Mark entered a rehabilitation program to address his addiction, and as part of the process, Sarah managed his bank accounts and provided him with a prepaid card with a spending limit.
The Polygraph as a Tool to Resolve Relationship Conflicts
The cases of John and Emily, Rachel and Olivia, and Mark and Sarah show how the Stoelting CPS Elite polygraph can be key to resolving conflicts in relationships. Each of these cases illustrates the importance of transparency and truth in resolving complex problems, from infidelity to addictions and financial issues.
The European Center for Credibility Assessment provides a professional and safe environment where couples can find the answers they seek and begin rebuilding their relationship on a foundation of renewed trust.
