Lasso of Truth
The Lasso of Truth is a fictional weapon wielded by DC Comics superheroine Wonder Woman, Princess Diana of Themyscira. Originally named ''The Magic Lasso of Aphrodite'', it is usually referred to as the ''Magic Lasso'' or ''Golden Lasso'' and forces anyone it captures to obey and tell the truth. Originally, it was created by Dr. William Moulton Marston as an allegory for feminine charm and compelled its captives to obey the wielder of the Lasso.
==Origin and influences==
William Moulton Marston created Wonder Woman but he also worked, in the period during and after World War I, on the systolic blood-pressure test while a graduate student in psychology at Harvard University where he earned a Ph.D. in 1921. Blood pressure was one of several elements measured in the polygraph test put together by John Augustus Larson in 1921 though it had been associated with deception since at least 1895, when Italian criminologist Cesare Lombroso (1835-1909) invented a device that police used to measure changes in the blood pressure of crime suspects. Marston's wife Elizabeth Holloway Marston, a student at Radcliffe College, apparently played a key role in his research: "According to Marston’s son, it was his mother Elizabeth, Marston’s wife, who suggested to him that 'When she got mad or excited, her blood pressure seemed to climb'".〔Lamb, Marguerite. "(Who Was Wonder Woman? Long-ago LAW alumna Elizabeth Marston was the muse who gave us a superheroine )." ''Boston University Alumni Magazine'', Fall 2001〕 Although Elizabeth is not listed as Marston’s collaborator in his early work, Lamb, Matte (1996), and others refer directly and indirectly to Elizabeth’s work on her husband’s deception research. She also appears in a picture taken in his polygraph laboratory in the 1920s (reproduced in Marston, 1938)."
But the lie detector had nothing to do with Dr. Marston's creation of the Magic Lasso. Wonder Woman's ''Magic Lasso'' or ''Golden Lasso'' was the direct result of their research into emotions.〔 So Marston created the Magic Lasso as an allegory for feminine charm and the compliant effect it has on people.
In ''incorrectly'' noting the correlation between the Lasso and the systolic blood-pressure test, Geoffry Bunn states:
