Deception Tips Podcast

Deception Tip 21: When a target suggests the correct answer, a liar’s face will freeze for less than a split second, like a deer in the headlights. Eyes open and mouth in an ‘O’ shape.

Deception Tip 20: Liars often display increased eye contact. As if to see that the target believes their lie.

Deception Tip 19: Contempt is the only asymmetrical facial expression. Liars may display it when targets suggest incorrect, or inept, answers.

Deception Tip 18: Liars often use distancing language when speaking about someone they would like to avoid being associated with. Example: That man instead of his name.

Deception Tip 17: Liars add lots of detail to their stories and can be overly specific. Whereas truth tellers use more general statements and estimations.
