Identify the four behaviors associated with lying.
What will be an ideal response?
The ideal answer should include:
- Liars hold back. They speak more slowly, take longer to respond to questions, and generally give less information and elaboration.
- Liars make less sense. Their messages contain more discrepancies and inconsistencies.
- Liars give a more negative impression. They are less cooperative, smile less than truth-tellers, and are more defensive.
- Liars are tense. Their tension may be revealed by their higher pitched voices and excessive body movements.
