Lie detection

BARACK OBAMA Does Obama lie to people of the USA? INTRODUCTION: “Absolute power causes absolute corruption” in the way Obama is leading this phrase relates so much to our president with all the lies and fake promises that he has said to the people. He has a big problem with lying to people and he does not tell the truth often. When Obama tells the truth it's not what most or more than half of the people in the world want to hear. I believe Obama tries to say stuff to the people or voters to…

I value honesty in life. From my past story I can say I have witnessed the destruction that lies and unspoken words can cause. As a matter of fact, a song called Words I Never Said by Lupe Fiasco the intro and hook says “It’s so loud inside my head, with the words that I should’ve said. As I drown in my regrets. I can’t take back the words I never said.” I feel that I can relate to this song, because my mind often will get filled with so many thoughts all at once. It feels like you’re standing…

saying that he is really sick and that he can't go. some people would say this is wrong because lying is unjustified but I believe lying is always justified no matter what the situation. one situation that shows that lying is acceptable, is when people lie to protect others. In the article “It's the truth: Americans conflicted about lying” by NBCNEWS, 64 year old Harold Smith states that it was worth the risk lying to his adult daughter about his kidney tumor. “why get her all traumatized?” he…

Deception is the process of deluding or disseminating false information with the intent to mislead. If the deception is aimed not only at getting the object of the deception to think differently, but act on the deceptive information, it can be helpful to utilize universal persuasive tools.

These patterns are very helpful…

honest you don’t have to worry about keeping up with the lies you have told, and you won’t get caught up in a lie. Dishonesty can hurt your credibility. “Still, every lie has it’s cost, Cohen says, and that’s just another factor that you have to consider. One key cost is credibility: Once a person finds out you lied, you lose currency in their eyes.” (NBCNEWS.com, 2006). This shows how one lie can cause people to not have trust in you. This also…

Deception is most successful when there is a grain of truth blended into the lie. If a large portion of the facts of a lie is perceived as true (or thought to be valid), individuals are more likely to explain away any inconsistencies as they emerge. In a way, individuals are blinded by the deception. Science writer Maria Konnikova notes “We con ourselves as much as [conartists] con us, because we supply the missing links, we tell ourselves the story that we want to hear,” (Hutson, 2016). Con…

verbal and non-verbal social behavior of human nature (1). Earliest representations of feigned madness appear within texts as old as the Bible (2) and the first reference to malingering from medicine can be found in “On Feigned Disease and the detection of them” by Galen in 2nd century AD (3). An individual’s deceptive behavior becomes clinically significant when it is encountered in medical settings if the individual is a subject of a gain-loss situation. Malingering is the behavior of feint…

Glinda. Although the Wizard and Glinda do not explicitly lie to Dorothy, they do intentionally produce information that is deceptive in nature. Here, the Truth-Default Theory (TDT), which analyzes how individuals assess the credibility and detect deception in information received, can be applied (Levine 379). Before an accurate analyzation of the film can be created, a distinction between what is considered deception and what is considered to be a lie must be established. TDT states that…

Honesty is a fundamental part of any relationship. It plays the part of the foundation and building of trust. Often, it's the reason why bonds start to get intimate and gets deeper with meaning. Situations such as individuals letting their guards down in front of their friends is usually a result of trust. Earning a person's trust is often achieved through being truthful and genuine to that individual. Although, some individuals might think lying is a must in situations I think the opposite. I…

Lying is a part of everyday life. According to polygraph expert Leonard Saxe, "We couldn't get through the day without being deceptive". We might lie for a number of reasons - to protect ourselves, our interests, our image and our resources, and we also might lie to protect the feelings of others in the telling of a white lie. Lying by omission is just the same as lying - although a partial truth may have been told, the intent to deceive someone else is exactly the same. There are a number of…
