English translation:plausible lie mechanism/structure
Explanation:
Hi:) I think in this case "mechanism" should also be ok since 構造 may refer also to the way the lies function. Of course, it depends on the context. So I would translate it "Lie Detecting Psychology - the Mechanism/Structure of Plausible Lies".

Good luck!:)
