BLOGPOST #7: "BUSTED!"

There are ways to spot liars. But spotting is hard because it takes a lot of skill in doing it. You need to be patient enough to learn all the necessary things in spotting a liar.

I read an article entitled, "10 ways to catch liars" from the site webmd.com by Heather Hatfield. Stated that, There are some tips in busting a liars. Like inconsistencies. They are not consistent in their words. In every word they say it changes over time. Ask the unexpected, when you ask a unexpected question to the liar. They might lose their focus on the lies that they made. Gauge against a baseline, their behaviour changer over the time because of the situation. No matter what excuses they made truth we'll still prevail.

Newsberry said, "When you want to know if someone is lying, look for inconsistencies in what they are saying." Not all people can excuse his/her self." They're still a hole that the truth will be find out. Even if a person who is so good in lying has some flaws. You just need to be observant in how you deal with them because all of them has a weakest point.

Another article I read entitled, "Evaluating Truthfulness and Detecting Deception" from the fbi.gov by David Matsumoto. Stated that, Lies can be betrayed in verbal and nonverbal  independently. However, the authors have chosen to examine this area, analyzing the combined contribution of verbal and nonverbal to the prediction of deception or truthfulness. In their latest study, the authors examined videos of dedicated members of ideologically motivated groups. Separate studies analyzed two types of lies. One involved participants in a situation in which they chose whether to steal $50 in cash from a briefcase and later were interviewed about their guilt (the crime scenario). In another analysis, participants decided to lie or tell the truth about their beliefs concerning their political cause (the opinion scenario). Each instance involved stakes—if researchers judged them as lying, the subjects lost their participation fee and faced 1 hour of white-noise blasts while sitting on a cold, steel chair in a small, cramped room.

David Matsumoto said, "Training and practice can help individuals and groups leverage facial expressions...other nonverbal behaviors, and statement analysis to better evaluate truthfulness." Because of other facial expressions of emotion, and cues in verbal statements, we must focused to detect them. In many situations, some focus primarily on a suspect's story, rather than how they tell it or what they show while conveying it. They must do more than simply be aware of expressions while not allowing such multitasking to dilute their skills.With training and practice, investigators can become more aware of what they see in the form of microexpressions. They should become aware of microexpressions and how to spot them, as well as the basic techniques of statement analysis. They should learn them well enough.
