It is easy to detect whether a person is
lying or telling the truth. The majority of our communication is conducted by
non- verbal components, this includes body language and tone of the voice. There are few steps through which we can
detect a lie.
Check for hand gestures if the hands are in
the pockets, palm displays, and fists clenched. In these three hand gestures,
we will get to know if the person is lying or telling the truth. Watch eye movements differs from the right or
left eye. The right eye tells that thinking visually about something that
happened, thinking about something they heard, and talking to themselves. The
middle one tells that deliberate eye contact is an indicator of a liar trying
to seem sincere, straight-ahead with a haze is an indicator of thinking of
something that happened visually. The left eye shows that constructing a lie
visually, constructing a lie orally, and thinking about something they did.
Look at the gestures towards the face shows
that a person who is lying more likely to cover their mouth with their hand or
place the sides near the mouth, almost as if to hide the lies coming
forth. People also tend to touch their nose
a great deal more when lying then telling the truth. It is caused by the rush
of adrenaline to the capillaries in the trunk, causing the nose to itchy .
Listen for vocal indicators is when talking in
a higher pitch, quavering tone, going on the offensive, talking faster or
slower, deflecting questions, using staling tactic, repeating sentences,
stammering, exaggerating details, and telling too many features. Overall, body language can be assessed by the
few indicators that a person is lying. Some signs are sweating, trembling,
blushing, difficulty swallowing, gulping, nodding in opposition, clearing one's
throat, and leaning away.
