Study Notes
Catching Liars
- The review covers the field of lie detection.
- Detecting lies can be challenging, and people often rely on unhelpful behaviors, leading to mistakes.
- Common cues like gaze aversion and fidgeting are unreliable indicators of lying.

- Gaze aversion as an indicator of lying can be dangerous, especially considering cultural and ethnic differences.
- Blacks are more likely to show gaze aversion, which can lead to cross-racial misinterpretation in interviews.
- Speech cues are more diagnostic of deception than nonverbal cues.
- An "information gathering" approach to interviewing is recommended over an accusatory one.
- This approach gathers more information that can be checked for inconsistencies.
- Asking unanticipated questions can also be helpful, as liars are less likely to say "I don't know" for fear of looking suspicious.
- People with strong imaginations may believe their own lies, making it difficult to detect deception.
