I know you're lying! - Human Behavior and Lie Detection

Hawklet · #1 06-14-2007, 03:37 AM

I just finished reading a book on human behavior and lie detection.

Some interesting concepts from the reading -

Hands near mouth
Hands Clenched (not open), Arms Crossed, Legs Tucked In
Placement of object (to form a pseudo-barrier) between him/her and you
Lack of Eye Contact
Creation of fictitious belief system ("You know I would never lie to you")
Uncomfortable with any silence - Must continue speaking until a verbal confirmation

What are your tell tale signs of someone lying to you?

I do a lot of these when I'm telling the truth.

i can't imagine crossing my arms when i'm lying. i usually only do that when i'm fairly comfortable. the rest are mostly true.

All you have to do is figure out his email and voicemail passwords, hack into his aim logs, and install a key-logger on his computer. BAM, you always know when he is lying!

I want to add:

They touch their nose after they lie. I read that your nose gets a subtle tingly feeling, and you subconsiously touch it when you lie or get anxious.

Strangely enough, mine almost ALWAYS has that feeling. It's seriously hard to keep my hands off my nose sometimes.

Based on the washcloth thread....are you sure you are thinking of your nose? [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
