Signs that someone is lying
It is commonly claimed that people who are lying will avoid making eye contact with others and will 23 a lot. Many researchers now disagree with these claims. Instead they analyse the way that people tell their stories. For example, liars tend to offer fewer 24 than people who are telling the truth. However, each 25 of their story seems to be in order, because they have carefully planned what they want to say. And contrary to what many people believe, liars often remain 26 as they lie, perhaps in the belief that they will come across as more confident than they really are. |
