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.
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"
