Chapter 21 Deciphering Lies Requires Rational Analysis
Lies arise from the loss of logic and rationality, so the FBI pointed out that deciphering lies requires rational reflection and analysis.Under rational scrutiny, the seemingly perfect lie was revealed.

Logic is a further abstraction of the objective world based on image thinking and intuitive epiphany thinking.Rational introspection and analysis refer to relying on logical reasoning to obtain reliable conclusions in theory.Some lies, the editor's intentions, seem to be seamless, but in fact, as long as they undergo rigorous logical analysis, the flaws will be found.And some of the behaviors that liars are used to have found a breakthrough in more rational analysis.

Psychologists believe that human behavior is often influenced by the various consciousness, unconsciousness, and subconsciousness accumulated in growth experience, and cannot be controlled by itself.When people are driven by the pressure of the environment or their inner desires, they may often behave out of self-control. The degree of good or bad depends on the person's views on the matter and their ability to adapt. Sometimes they will completely deviate from their original intentions. At this time, lies come into play. And born.Of course, there are also makers of malicious lies who will not hesitate to fabricate all kinds of lies in order to achieve their own goals.

§§§The first section analyzes the voice of the liar
Marom once said: "In fact, sound is the easiest way to reveal our inner world thoughts."

When a person is nervous, the voice will change obviously, and the voice of this part of the frequency is difficult for the speaker to control.Usually when someone is tense and unconfident, his pronunciation muscles will tense, and his voice will be subconsciously raised to cover up his inner weakness.

Nervousness during lying causes rapid heartbeat and uneven breathing, which inevitably affects the tone and speed of speech.Generally speaking, when lying, the voice is always higher than usual to show seriousness.Sometimes there will be a different kind of "cadence". The first half of a sentence is high-pitched, but the last few words are ambiguous.

The speed of speech will also be different from usual.He who should speak quickly speaks slowly, but he who speaks slowly speaks quickly again.This is deliberate affectation and self-deception.As for the language, there are more pronunciation mistakes, slurred words, and more pauses than usual, "ah—" "this—" "um—" and so on.

§§§The second section analyzes the laughter of the liar
If a person smiles unnaturally, without a smile on the surface, then the person is probably lying.

Liars seldom laugh, and when they do, it's usually an act of exertion.There are several ways to identify fake smiles.Let's analyze it below.

A smile from the heart will wrinkle the corners of the eyes, and a fake smile will not be able to move the muscles at the corners of the eyes. Even if it is pulled, it will be stiff and fleeting; a fake smile can last for a long time, because a fake smile lacks real emotion Intrinsically motivated, so they don't know when to end it; when smirking, the expressions on both sides of the face are often somewhat asymmetrical, right-handed people have a higher left corner of the mouth when smirking, left-handed People, the corner of the right mouth is picked higher.

A real smile is even and symmetrical on both sides of the face, it comes on quickly and fades slowly.It's also involved in the wrinkles that run from your nose to the corners of your mouth and the laugh lines around your eyes.Fake smiles, on the other hand, come on more slowly and are slightly uneven, with one side trying to respond positively when it's not too real.Eye muscles are not fully mobilized.

A fake smile stems from a lack of emotion.Due to the lack of emotion, the smile looks a little dazed, and the corners of the mouth are turned up, a morbid illusion of happiness.

Remember that a smile that comes too early or too late can indicate a deceiving look.

§§§The third section analyzes the fleeting expression
One day in July 2005, man Michael White cried and appealed to the public to help him find his pregnant wife Leanna.White faced the public again three days later, claiming that he was disappointed with the police and would look for his wife on his own.White then took the volunteers directly to a ditch in the suburbs, where Leanna's body was found.White was later charged with and convicted of second-degree murder.After careful investigation, it has been proved that this is indeed the case.

Police's initial suspicions came from video footage of White making the appeal to the public, only to find flashes of anger and disgust flashing through his sad expression.

The researchers also let some adults watch images that can make people feel happy, fearful, and disgusted, and let them show real expressions and fake expressions, and videotaped the whole process, and then conducted analysis and research.

People maintain a normal expression for a few seconds, but in the "disguised face", the real emotion will stay on the face for a very short time.

§§§The fourth section analyzes the secret revealed by the eyes of the liar
Research by psychologists has found that the vast majority of liars do not avoid the eyes of others, but instead stare firmly at the other party, hoping to make the other party feel that they are honest and trustworthy in this way.But in any case, for a liar, his gaze will definitely be very unnatural, whether it is wandering or staring, it is different from his normal state, especially when you look directly into someone's eyes, and When the eyes don't even blink.

§§§The fifth section analyzes the liar's behavior of not mentioning the name

Psychologist Weissman of the University of Hertfordshire in the United States said: "People will naturally feel uncomfortable when they lie, and they will instinctively remove themselves from the lies they tell. Late. The liar will replace "my car broke down" with "it broke down." Then complain that he had to wait to get it fixed.

If when someone is asked a question, they repeatedly omit the "I" in their ear, they have reason to be suspected, and they may not have answered the situation truthfully.

Not only do liars dislike mentioning themselves, they rarely use the names of people they lie about.For example, a certain CEO and a certain celebrity are rumored to have an affair.He will consciously avoid the name of this actress in his speech, but he is very calm when talking about other actresses, meaning "I did not have sexual relations with that woman".
