Corey has been called to jury duty for a criminal case. He wants to prepare by studying deceptive behaviors and asks you what you learned in your study of interpersonal communication
What specific information about nonverbal communication and deception cues can you give Corey?
What will be an ideal response?
Answers will vary but should focus on leakage cues, such as increased use of adaptors (scratching, shifting weight) and vocal cues (shaky voice, speech hesitations). Deceptive people often exhibit random body movements and arm movements, may rock back and forth, shake a leg or a foot if they are sitting, or may fidget. It is important, however, for the answer to convey the fact that nonverbal communication is ambiguous, so not all that is witnessed absolutely equates to lying behavior.
