Do you think that you’re good at catching lies?
We all think we are good at catching lies but evidence from science tells a different story. Some researchers say identifying when someone is lying depends on how good that person is at telling a lie instead of how good we are at catching a lie.
Some lies are said to make others feel good like saying that someone’s outfit or haircut is perfect. These lies help foster positive interpersonal relationships and maintain harmony. Some lies are destructive and can take a serious toll on the well-being and mental health of others.
Psychological research has identified some ways to spot if someone is deceiving you through lies.
Their Stories Are Inconsistent
Liars can’t maintain their statements over time. Changes in contradictions, details, or shifts in the story can help you identify when someone is being truthful.
For instance, a person missed a meetup due to a doctor’s appointment but later mentioned they were at a party with friends.
