Tips for knowing when you’re being lied to
Spotting a lie isn’t as quick and easy as it looks on television.
With time and training, it is possible to get a good sense of when someone is deceiving you, experts say.
“It’s really about how to observe very carefully,” said Pamela Meyer, author of the book “Liespotting” and chief executive officer of the private firm Calibrate, which trains people and companies about how to spot deception. “It’s really not a parlor trick.”
It’s a skill that can be developed with practice, said David Matsumoto, a San Francisco State University professor of psychology. He’s also a consultant to law enforcement and intelligence agencies and chief executive officer of Humintell, a company that trains police agencies, lawyers and businesses in how to read emotions.
