Lie Detector

Detecting when people lie online

A new study has found that when people lie in digital messages - texting, social media or instant messaging - they take longer to respond, make more edits and write shorter responses than usual.

   "Digital conversations are a fertile ground for deception because people can easily conceal their identity and their messages often easily conceal their identity and their messages often appear credible," said Professor Tom Meservy, Brigham Young University professor of information systems. "Unfortunately, humans are terrible at detecting deception. We're creating methods to correct that."

   He and other researchers created a computer program that carried out online conversations with participants, who were told a tie at specific times.

   Lie responses took 10 per cent longer to create and were edited more, said the university in a statement.

Is he a "talk blocker"?
 
T Dub here...
 
LOL...I thought of that term not long ago...and I couldn't resist.
 
Thank you for letting me indulge in some junior high fun :-)
 
I came up with that term when I was thinking about how guys lie because they want to avoid talking.
 
Doesn't it seem they pull out lies from their avoidance toolbox as often as a carpenter pulls out a hammer?
 
And here's what's REALLY IMPORTANT for you to know.
 
Just as a hammer has a purpose...to drive nails...
 
Men use lies for a purpose as well...
 
For men...
 
One of a lies most handy purposes is to AVOID emotional confrontation.
 
From...
 
Small emotional upsets...like not wanting to tell you he didn't like the sushi you made last night.
 
To...
 
The heavy weight stuff...like how he REALLY feels about you.
 
Now...I am NOT okaying this behavior.
 
And I know you may be feeling like...
 
"I don't care WHY he lies...I just want him to STOP!"
 
I know.
 
I get it.
 
You see...what I've found out is understanding WHY he lies is also YOUR key to getting him to stop.

Here's how to get him to STOP lying & talk blocking you : http://whyhelies.com

People lie for various reasons. The truth is that everyone lies and everyone is lied to. Below you will find the most common reasons that people lie.


• Fear of harm: The easiest reason to understand why we lie is for self protection, including self deception, to prevent harm to ourselves. This harm can be either physical or mental.

• Fear of conflict: To some degree, we all fear having an argument.

• Fear of punishment: When growing up, how often did we lie about how well we did in school, or who started a fight? How often do we cover up our mistakes and transgressions?

• Fear of rejection: Sometimes, our insecurities are the foundation of why we lie to each other, because we want to be remain popular in our relationships. Typically, it is harmless boasting to make ourselves appear more admirable to other people.

• Fear of loss: This is usually the loss of personal objects, such as money or expensive valuables. Greed is the foundation for this reason and can be found in each of us. We often lie to make ourselves more desirable to other people too. Most common, people lie for fear of losing an opportunity to have sex. Other times, when our self esteem starts to decline, we even lie to ourselves as means to prevent loss of morale.

• Altruistic Reasons: We often lie to help our friends and loved ones. How often do we flattery someone just to make them feel better? This is the only selfless reason why we lie.


While it is important to understand the different reasons that people lie, it is even more important to know when they are lying. There are proven methods that anyone can learn that will allow them to become a “human lie detector”. Once these methods are learned, getting lied to (and not knowing it) becomes a thing of the past.
