Harvard professor shows you how to detect the fastest liar

Whenever we want to detect someone lying, we often assume that looking into the eyes and observing the lie or attitude of a liar is enough. However, according to Professor Amy Cuddy - a psychologist from Harvard University, that way doesn't help much.

In the new book called "Presence" , the professor thinks that instead of looking for a big finding, you should take advantage of skills to observe inconsistencies in a series of ways. enemy communication such as facial expressions, gestures or speech.

You should take advantage of the skills to observe inconsistencies in an opponent's communication sequence.

"Lying is very difficult. We tell a story and have to restrain part of the truth. If it is not something complicated, most of us have a guilty feeling when we lie. We have to refrain from this sin, and people don't have enough brain power to do that for a while without revealing the loophole, ' Professor Cuddy said.

According to her, the best way to find "gaps" is to find the difference between what the opponent says and what the other person does. Conflicting emotions, such as happy voices but sad faces . these signs will tell you who is lying.

Even so, the professor still has to admit that finding a liar is not easy. We often detect liars successfully thanks to speculation. But the problem here is that we mostly focus on the story of the liar who forgets their gestures and attitudes when lying.

Finding out a liar is not easy.

Besides, Professor Cuddy's study also showed that people with language analysis problems (also known as slow-learning people) are more likely to detect liars than ordinary people. The reason is because they don't care about what the other person says.

"When we try to analyze and find out whether a person is lying or telling the truth, we focus too much on words and forget to observe everything that is going on. The truth reveals itself clearly. more clearly through action, not words, ' concluded Professor Cuddy.
