Become a lie detector....

Become a lie detector....

"A lie gets halfway around the world before the truth has a chance to get its pants on."

           -Winston Churchill 

Warning: sometimes ignorance is bliss. After gaining this knowledge, you may be hurt when it is obvious that someone is lying to you. The following deception detection techniques are used by police, forensic psychologists, security experts and other investigators.

          We all are liars and we know it....we are all cool about it because we know there are reasons for it. It is a widespread phenomenon which we all do to some extent...

            Lie detection actually means - deception detection, uses questioning techniques along with technology that records physiological functions to ascertain truth and falsehood in response.

            But we will try to go an extra mile from lie spotting to truth seeking ....to trust building.....Here’s a fun fact one’s people know about your technique..They wouldn't meet you..I wonder y people send me mails when they just live down Stairs...LOL

             It’s an astonishing fact that a normal human being generally lies a 10 – 200 times a day..Umm now in this case if you were Pinocchio..It would be very difficult living with that nose.... We are likely to lie 3 times to a stranger in the first minute of the conversation...

            We are definitely consciously against lying but covertly for it. We never know when exactly to lie or to deceit, it’s just like an involuntary muscle in our big fat body..!

            More intelligent people are generally more likely to lie..Same as in the case of extroverts to that of introverts

There is no definite age of lying lie experts have determined the type of lies a particular being of a certain age does .for example

• ·         A baby may fake a cry.
• ·         A 1yr old may conceal.
• ·         A2yr old may bluff
• ·         5 yr olds lie out right and try to manipulate
• ·         9’s are the masters of corruption
• ·         College....Phew...no comments..!!
• ·         At works..There are clusters of lies on daily basis..

          Generally these are white lies in our lives...and we may also get away with it to an extent. But the other side of the coin is called as Dark lies. Someone correctly said that

“Lying is an co operative act”,

Which means if people lie to you because we r sometimes open to these lies

           Talking about the bad or the dark lies...we know it is very dangerous...there are millions of dollars ,wealth at stake...Stock markets get crashed ,...countries get cheated....lives are taken.

         So how do we catch these lies..?

It is called as Lie Detection. The study of physiological methods for deception tests measuring emotional disturbances.

                 And the people who study this science are called as deception experts. To name a few ....we have Mr. Steven Van Aperen,

Dr.Paul Ekman who also invented the technique to read micro expressions...

You ask what they are...

A micro expression is a momentary involuntary facial expression -- that people unconsciously display when they are hiding an emotion. They are quick & intense expressions of concealed emotion.

The main points to remember are that micro expressions are:

Brief - Micro-expressions can appear then disappear off the face in a fraction of a second. In other words micro-expressions occur so quickly, that most people don't even notice them.

"Man is not what he thinks he is, he is what he hides"

Introduction to Detecting Lies:

This knowledge is also useful for anyone to use in everyday situations where telling the truth from a lie can help prevent you from being a victim of fraud/scams and other deceptions.

This is just a basic run down of physical (body language) gestures and verbal cues that may indicate someone is being untruthful. Remember: these signs don't indicate someone is lying, just that they are more likely to be lying.

Signs of Deception:

Body Language of Lies:

• Physical expression will be limited and stiff, with few arm and hand movements. Hand, arm and leg movement are toward their own body the liar takes up less space.

• A person who is lying to you will avoid making eye contact.

• Hands touching their face, throat & mouth.Touching or scratching the nose or behind their ear. Not likely to touch his chest/heart with an open hand.

 

Emotional Gestures & Contradiction

• Timing and duration of emotional gestures and emotions are off a normal pace. The display of emotion is delayed, stays longer it would naturally, and then stops suddenly.

• Timing is off between emotions gestures/expressions and words. Example: Someone says "I love it!" when receiving a gift, and then smile after making that statement, rather than at the same time the statement is made.

• Gestures/expressions don’t match the verbal statement, such as frowning when saying “I love you.”

• Expressions are limited to mouth movements when someone is faking emotions (like happy, surprised, sad, awe,) instead of the whole face. For example; when someone smiles naturally their whole face is involved: jaw/cheek movement, eyes and forehead push down, etc.

Interactions and Reactions

• A guilty person gets defensive. An innocent person will often go on the offensive.

• A liar is uncomfortable facing his questioner/accuser and may turn his head or body away.

• A liar might unconsciously place objects (book, coffee cup, etc.) between themselves and you.

Verbal Context and Content

• A liar will use your words to make answer a question. When asked, “Did you eat the last cookie?” The liar answers, “No, I did not eat the last cookie.”

•A statement with a contraction is more likely to be truthful: “I didn't do it” instead of “I did not do it”

Liars sometimes avoid "lying" by not making direct statements. They imply answers instead of denying something directly.

The guilty person may speak more than natural, adding unnecessary details to convince you... they are not comfortable with silence or pauses in the conversation.

• A liar may leave out pronouns and speak in a monotonous tone. When a truthful statement is made the pronoun is emphasized as much or more than the rest of the words in a statement.

Words may be garbled and spoken softly, and syntax and grammar may be off. In other
words, his sentences will likely be muddled rather than emphasized.

 The use of distancing language.

Other signs of a lie:

If you believe someone is lying, then change subject of a conversation quickly, a liar follows along willingly and becomes more relaxed. The guilty wants the subject changed; an innocent person may be confused by the sudden change in topics and will want to back to the previous subject.

Using humour or sarcasm to avoid a subject.

Final Notes:

Obviously, just because someone exhibits one or more of these signs does not make them a liar. The above behaviours should be compared to a person’s base (normal) behaviour whenever possible.

Just because you have seen the show lie to me or u have some minimal knowledge about facial deception, it does not give you the right to dig into people’s faces. Respect their privacy; you don’t have to know everything going on in people’s lives.

Try to use this knowledge for your good and not to intervene people’s lives,

And remember

"Try to go an extra mile from liespotting.... to truth seeking ....to trust building"
