Is anyone in DKPD specially trained to pick up on nonverbal cues? It seems the chief is contradicting himself at every turn. Here are some of the cues:
===================================
LIARS:
Typically, in a person who is lying, their microexpression will exhibit the emotion of distress, characterized by the eyebrows being draw upwards towards the middle of the forehead (sometimes causing short lines to appear across the forehead skin).
Overly tilted heads are a potential sign of sympathy. Alternatively, the person is trying to convince you of their honesty.
Look for twitches. When someone is lying they may have a physiological reaction such as an eye, lip or cheek twitch.
They will not react in the correct emotional way. For instance if they tell you they are sorry, but their lips are turned up.
The liar's facial expressions will be timed oddly, and will usually not be coordinated with what they are saying. They may say something, and then the facial expression comes after it. In most cases of truthtelling, the facial expression comes first or at the same time the spoken words.
A liar will probably use your own words directly when responding to the question. For example, when the liar is asked, "Did you take my stapler?" the liar might respond, "Take your stapler? No," or something to that effect.
Absolutes should be a red flag to you when a person is trying to be deceptive, because absolutes are most often lies in and of themselves. Absolutes are words like, “always,” “never,” “everytime,” “everyone.” Listen carefully for absolutes because they are used in two main functions: when the person is trying to persuade you to do something, or when they are getting defensive about something they did.
When a liar is caught off guard, they require time to formulate a response that sounds legitimate. Therefore, they might employ a stall tactic to buy more time.
One commonly used way a liar buys more time is by employing rhetorical questions such as:
“Can you repeat the question?”
“What do you think?”
“Could you be more specific?”
-or they repeat the same question back to you.
DECEPTIVE BODY LANGUAGE
Anxiety: A deceptive person is typically anxious. This may include sweating, sudden movements, minor twitches of muscles (especially around the mouth and eyes), changes in voice tone and speed.
Control: In order to avoid being caught, there may be various signs of over-control. For eg.:forced smiles, jerky movements,etc.
Distracted: A person who is trying to deceive needs to think more about what they are doing, so they may drift off or pause as they think about what to say or hesitate during speech.
CLOSED Body Language Means Crossing, Covering or Hiding
Frown, or smile all the time a strained smile.
SPEECH
Psychologists have discovered that people's speech may be different when they are lying. The term paralanguage is used to describe this shift in speech. Liars tend to speak slower and less fluent. This can be noticed when they are re-editing sentences. For example, a person may say something, stop and rephrase it again. Studies have found that a slight higher pitch in a person's voice is noticeable when they are lying. Paralanguage, in conjunction with body language, is one of the most noticeable cues when people are lying.
Did you really need to cut and paste that from whatever internet web page you got it from? I mean really...
Why call his lawyer, ask his boss why he takes so much comp time. Looks like Dale Russell did just that.
