Ты should compare behavior in the person under suspicion to their "base" behavior, if possible. In other words, if they always have shifty eyes, then this trait can't be considered as an indication of lying. On the other hand, if they are normally very calm under pressure, but start shifting in their chair after certain questions, that may indicate lying. Because all techniques fail at times, Ты should use several indications before assuming the person has lied.
How To Tell If Someone Is Lying By Testing Responses
One way to test for lying, is to measure a persons desire to avoid a subject, which will sometimes indicate dishonesty или guilt. If Ты think the person is lying, change the subject quickly. A lying person will often go along easily, and may even visibly relax. An innocent person is еще likely to be slightly confused by the change and want to finish their thoughts.
Another lie detecting technique is to suggest something that would make a guilty person feel uncomfortable and watch for a response. Suppose your wife Jane says she was at her mother's house, and Ты think she is lying. Rather than saying, "I'm calling your mother to verify this," Ты could use a subtle approach. Ты might say, "That reminds me, I'm going to stop by your mother's house today to fix that door for her." <
If your wife was lying, the idea of Ты seeing her mother should make her nervous. She may give Ты reasons why Ты shouldn't go there. Of course, if your relationship has reached the point where Ты feel the necessity to resort to these techniques, a simple lie may not be the worst of your problems. Still, sometimes Ты need to know, so here are a few еще ways to tell if someone is lying.
They are using your words. Using your exact words to respond can be an indication of lying. Ты say, for example, "Did Ты leave this here?" and they respond, "No, I did not leave this here."
They use un-contracted words. A lack of contractions is еще common when lying. For example, instead of saying "I didn't sleep with her," a man might say," I did not have sexual relations with that woman." Again, compare to base behavior, though, as some people may not use contractions often anyhow.
Over-compensation. Often when people lie, they try too hard to be natural, and they give еще detail than is necessary.
Forced smiles. A real smile involves еще muscles, while a forced smile will use just the muscles around the mouth. The lie here may only be about their feelings, of course.
Let them talk. The еще a person talks, the еще likely Ты are to catch them in a lie (if they are being dishonest), especially when Ты learn the indications to watch for. These are just a few of the ways how to tell if someone is lying.
