Deception is inherent in any person. However, deceit is not always some kind of unlawful gesture in relation to a particular person - there is a white lie, and there is also an ordinary lie. But how to recognize the lies of inveterate deceivers? This question puzzled, probably, each of us. Let's talk about that.
Our psychology. How to recognize a lie?
During the submission of deliberately incorrect information, a person experiences some excitement to one degree or another. It can be caught in the voice, these changes are noticeable in oral speech, in movements and in the general behavior of a liar.
If you study the facial expressions of a lie and the gestures characteristic of it in more detail, then the question of how to recognize a lie will disappear by itself over time. How to do it? More on that later.
How to learn to recognize lies by facial expressions?
- When a person lies, his intonation changes involuntarily.
- The pace of the liar's speech also changes: it can stretch, speed up or slow down.
- The deceiver's voice may start to tremble. Its timbre also changes. Possible sudden hoarsenessor, on the contrary, high notes slip through. Many of those who cheat start to stutter.
- One of the indisputable signs of the insincerity of a person is his shifty gaze. It must be assumed that this can mean both shyness and confusion. Nevertheless, such a sign is a signal that the reliability of the information presented can be called into question. And this is logical: when a person is ashamed or embarrassed for his words, he will often look away. If you want to know how to recognize a lie, then never forget to pay attention to the look of your interlocutor.
- The next sign of a liar is his smile. Pay special attention to her. Many liars, once again telling a lie, smile noticeably and easily. It should be noted that this does not apply to positive people who smile day and night, because this is just their communication style. But an inappropriate smile should alert you.
How to recognize lies by gestures?
American researcher Alan Pisa believes that people deliberately trying to mislead their interlocutor use the following gestures:
- touching the face with hands;
- nose touch;
- covering mouth;
- rubbing your eyes.
Of course, you need to understand that these gestures are not direct criteria for lying, especially in and of themselves. Therefore, they should never be considered separately. Your assessment should be comprehensive:it is necessary to compare the facial expressions of a lie with its gestures, while simultaneously analyzing other factors and attendant circumstances.
And finally
It should be noted that those people who communicate a lot and are able to soberly assess situations and events are good at accurately recognizing one or another deceiver. Such people are always attentive to everyone, capturing the smallest details of a particular human behavior.
Remember, it is the rich communication skills, combined with the above nuances of lies, that will help to recognize a real deceiver in your interlocutor.
