People used to say that because I got mad when accused of lying, I was lying. When in fact the reason I get mad is because im not lying and I feel insulted.
Unfortunately it does work the other way around as well - especially in kids as far as I can tell. My little niece used to throw a temper tantrum whenever someone caught her lying. But, yeah, I totally understand were you're coming from. When I was in my teens, my stepdad used to accuse me of lying all the time and it was super frustrating.
If you met someone for the first time (like law enforcement) and try to figure out if they're lying or not, it's basically impossible. However, people who you've known beforehand are easier. You can base your assessment not just off of reading them real time, but rather try to understand if they have anything to gain from lying, their past record of truth-telling, etc. Also as Hank has mentioned, lying and truth-telling are not black and white, there's a gray area. I have a classmate who tells stories which are true in general, but he changes the narrative (exaggerates certain events, adjusts how certain characters are seen, etc.) to fit some point he was trying to make or to make the story more dramatic.
I get what you're saying. The point of the video though was that you can never truly 100% know when someone is lying without any outside information ( an example of outside information would be like security camera footage or seeing the act ). Another thing to note that he also mentioned in the video is that in thinking somebody is or may be lying you subject yourself to psychological biases. That said there are things that can increase your probability of being correct. For example you mentioned reputation, if someone is prone to lying it's more likely they're lying than someone that is not prone.
Same. And as a kid a lot of the time it didn't even matter if I did it or not, my parents were just looking for any flimsy excuse to punish me, unless I grovelled enough to cheer them up. As an adult I still can't help act guilty even if I deny it if I am confronted by someone who is acting emotional while doing it, because it feels like they're just venting and want appeasement and don't really care about the truth because they're being emotional and can't be reasoned with until they've cooled down and are rational again.
When falsely accused of lying, I disengage from conversation... Particularly when it's done "with confidence"... It tells me that the person accusing me is so used to lying and being lied to that they have no alternative... AND are thus, NOT to be trusted or further interacted with. Yes, it includes cops. Never trust one of them either... Get a lawyer and clam up. ;o)
The scariest retired law enforcement officer I ever met is a polygraph examiner and is vehemently 100% confident in the validity of her assessments. There's a television personality in the UK who is the same way with them, Jeremy Kyle. I feel horrible for the prospective employees of the companies and whatever other agencies, etc., this lady contracts for. Not only will many of them lose a job opportunity that they are well-qualified for, for no valid reason, but I'm sure she would put many of them in jail if she could get her results to stand as credible evidence in court. She lets them know that with _attitude_ even if she can't say it. I have watched some walk out of that office completely dumbfounded, some furious. I'm sure she would say that they are just lying to themselves, too. The situation reminds me of how much lawmakers and judges need to be held accountable for evidence-based law and judgments as far as possible rather than populism and opinion. Otherwise, injustice is virtually guaranteed.
@@ReflectedMiles I hate Jeremy Kyle the fact that he has been so vile to people for somthing they never done, I don't like him and every time he comes on tv I turn it off
Fine, you berated the point long enough Hank. If you are going to go through the trouble of making an entire video just to find out who it was, you deserve to know. I admit it was me whose dog pooped on your lawn. Sorry.
Hank, what I admire the most about your work, wherever it is, is that you are quite honest about not really knowing stuff, and admitting you were wrong was pretty cool. I wish we were friends, man. It might sound a little, or a lot creepy but I'd cuddle you if I could XD
When my neighbor comes and confronts me about yet another lawn turd, I usually tell him that I was, in fact, playing outside with my dog and once again it did poop on the lawn. Embedded lies indeed.
Installing a camera will definitely save yourself the anxiety about whether you'll upset the neighbours by falsely accusing someone, plus it could prove useful in answering the question about those missing parcels!
I like to know when people are lying, and this video gave me a little more info on the subject of lying. Thanks for this video! I can't wait for more and DFTBA!
What really sucks is that parents are usually plagued with lie bias. For their kids, this is really bad. "I didn't move your makeup!" "Yes you did, you little cretin! Go to your room!" (Kid leaves) (Mom rifles through her purse) "Oh, there's my makeup... Forgot I put it there last night. Ah well, time to move on with my day."
The past few couples I have been around used me as a lie detector against their spouses. They often would ask the other where they had been or such things, then they would give a slight look at me to catch my slight responses to their partner, then get a huge grin when they realize their partner was lying. Was so annoying the several times it happened.
My old supervisor and night ops lie consistently. And the night ops was the worst. I gave him the silent treatment for 3 weeks and skip meetings because he lied at everyone. Only time he told the truth: when he said I was a good worker.
Most answers in those situations are just a "no", how can you understand if that person is lying? My husband is very good at lying, he's not looking at me (usually looks and his computer or phone screen), responds with just a vague yes or no and if I try to interrogate him further he gets really mad and starts yelling at me to leave him alone. Some people are just good at lying and there is nothing you can do about it, you can't tell somebody is lying if you don't have proof.
People dealing with depression - especially those prone to rumination - already have a high cognitive load. That may explain the phenomenon of poor memory seen in some with depression. The same goes for someone with social anxiety, like me. There are so many variables. As for polygraph tests, I'd refuse one no matter how innocent I am. Given how anxious I am just speaking with people I know I don't believe a polygraph would exclude me as a suspect in a crime. Probably exactly the opposite would happen.
I am SO pumped to see you all citing Tim Levine, Hee Sun Park, Steve McCornack, and Kelly Morrison, as well as some Serota and Farrah on these. Though, I feel you could do a bit more and go into IMT2 (Information Manipulation Theory 2, Because IMT1 wasn't a theory, it was more of a framework, but hey... The 90s man... It was cool to call everything a theory). Their work on deception influences how I teach it in class as I'm just not a fan of the old classic model of deception, because, as McCornack puts it, there's some reification going on in older deception lit. Also, check out some of Levine's work on Truth Default, as well as his work on the Michigan State recordings and the one where he had professional interrogators working with students. The main deal there is for people who are professionals in deception detection (i.e. interrogators) they usually discovered deception because people admitted to it rather than figuring it out on their own. The micro-expression stuff is very much in line with Judy Burgoon's work, but I've never bought into it because of how overly complex it is with super tiny effect sizes. Other details: According to IMT2, people create their communication in real time and adjust to the reactions of their communication partner, with removes a lot of the cognitive load stuff. Those studies you mentioned create issues if someone is telling a story backwards as they would have to think about it. Say the alphabet forwards and then backwards. Unless you're practiced at it, you're gonna say it backwards a lot slower.
"brave because you're innocent, scared because you're guilty" - literal translation of a Malay saying that's commonly known here in the Malay Archipelago.
Yikes that sounds like scary words to live by to me. If you grow up in an abusive home where it doesn’t matter if you’re innocent of something or not you get beaten, then you’re going to get scared if someone accuses you of something you didn’t do because you have been trained to expect bad things to come of accusations.
Mafia is a good game to show the futility of this. No-one's got a perfect winrate in competitive mafia. Not unless they're cheating. And no-one said that being a good liar is as important as being good at convincing people not to kill you.
I generally start laughing when people think I'm lying while I'm not lying which makes them even more suspicious. And then they find out I didn't lie and they cant understand why I acted that way. Its because its funny to see people fool themselves.
Even if cognitive load increases, it assumes that there's a user-specific (patient-specific? subject-specific?) baseline from which it can be compared. Sure, mathematically, we might make generalizations about trends based on age, level of education, etc.; but they most certainly don't provide anything against which the specific subject can be measured. Either they're lying. Or they aren't. Interpretation of actual evidence by a jury, if it's financially and legally feasible, will decide.
If you're the type who watches every episode of Lie to Me or Law and Order, you might think you know a thing or two about detecting deception. But separating lies from the truth isn't as simple as learning all those techniques. Most of them are based on the assumption that there's an inherent psychological difference between lying and telling the truth. Cognitive lie detection relies on challenging the suspected liar's brain and gauging how well they handle the additional work. They use tactics like having people tell their stories in reverse, drawing diagrams of the scene, or performing some other physical task while they're talking. It works somewhere between 2/3 and 3/4 of the time, which is better than flipping a coin, but still not great. Studies have found that people who undergo lie detection training can actually be worse at sniffing out liars than those who don't. This is because lying is an essential part of our psychology, and we lie to ourselves as well as to others. But it's not something you can use to determine if your neighbors are lying about their dog pooping on your lawn.
When I was younger, I never doubted myself. At least, not as much as I do now. Now, I'm terrified when I tell someone about something that is part of me that I'm not only lying to them, but to myself. _Am I really pan?_ _Am I really agender?_ I always try to tell myself, "Yes, yes, you are!", but it never works. I hate having to question something that I know is absolutely true, like being pansexual. Especially when I'm questioning _myself._
Hm, I completely agree with the cognitive load thing. Sure, people might be thinking a lot because of other things, but most of the time too much thinking = lie. Especially for me - I can physically /feel/ the amount of thoughts and work my brain is doing when I lie increase drastically, especially when the lies aren't embedded.
For that dog poop scenario, do what groups of thieves do - when they are looking for things to steal, someone yells, "There's a thief on the loose!" and all the thieves involved watch for people checking their valuables, which clues the thieves on what to steal. If you want to know whose dog it is that is pooping in your yard, say "There's a dog in the neighborhood pooping in everyone's yard!" and watch to see for any dog owners who know for a fact that their dog is the culprit. Any good dog owner picks up after their dog so if said owner scolds their dog for doing this to make themselves feel good, you've got them caught. Maybe I'm wrong, just my take on it. Edit: .... How did I not even think of simply setting up a camera? Wow.
There is ONE person who I can often catch on lies - my partner. If I call him on a lie (usually a small and not plausible one, since he doesn't really want to fool me for more than a second), his dimple twitches so it's visible. But, it's also not 100% - sometimes I have to press it, and I'm not a fan of making accusations without knowing. (And yes, I become more paranoid if I keep trying, so I don't. Helps no one, especially since it's always a little fib. Plus, he tells me immediately if he gets me.) But like... that's also only because I know him well, personally.
@@DrewKF No, although I can see that that's what I wrote. Have to press him with questions - basically, try and call it out, and if it is false eventually the simple twitches. (You can see why I wouldn't want to do this, really - if it is true I'm just repeatedly calling him a liar, which isn't good for any of us. Also, again, it really isn't necessary, generally. He only lies as a joke, and knows when to stop- if it actually makes me question things too much he will stop.)
I can always tell when my dog is lying when I ask her, "What happened to the chickens?". She sits in front of me, all pretty with her tail wagging, and an expression on her face that says, "I-unno!". That's when I start pulling the feathers out of her fur.
Basically any method fails miserably on those with aspergers and for the worst reason. We test positive all the time leading to a massive negative bias. I can't tell you how many times I was innocent in games of werewolf and was knocked out round one
I know when miss 14 lies. I asked her have you taken laundry down she says yes before I finish the sentence. Yet nothing there. I won't tell her how I know.
Even though micro expressions and physiological responses do exist the literature shows that we are extremely bad at reading if other people are lying or not. There are no clear 'tells'. Damn you lie to me, you lied to me!
a lot of 'lying' traits are actually just how neurodivergent people communicate...so not often very reliable. like eye contact/shifting gaze. I'm not lying im just autistic and anxious lmao
Mr. Hank it is true, in science world there's never an absolute Truth and everything is changing and getting more accurate. I love the way you showed your own video as "one of those people" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤙
Was Hank's OMG over the content of the old episode, the comparatively poor production values of old SciShow (seriously, why was it always so dark?), or in recognition that his haircut at the time was somewhat questionable?
If you have some sort of set rule like that then you're guaranteed to think poorly about someone who is actually totally trustworthy. This just makes you seem paranoid and bitter.
Believe me, there are no silver bullets for detecting lies, including using common English phrases which may be associated with untruthfulness but the correlation isn't 100%.
People used to say that because I got mad when accused of lying, I was lying. When in fact the reason I get mad is because im not lying and I feel insulted.
Unfortunately it does work the other way around as well - especially in kids as far as I can tell. My little niece used to throw a temper tantrum whenever someone caught her lying.

Personally one of the easiest ways to catch a liar I've seen is looking for inconsistencies in what they say and do.
I can be inconsistent with full honesty.
Then you're just looking for a bad liar. Or just a confused person

Na, was not so hard - wired up my neighbor in the garage, put a lamp in his direction and he started to confess everything

I do know when my brother touches his nose after telling something, he's not being honest.
Or maybe he's just been trying to clue you in that you have a massive booger in your nose.
What about omitting parts of the truth? Key parts that makes you draw the wrong conclusion from the statement I make?
Thanks, Obi-Wan...
How about contracting pupils?
What did you say about Apollo Justice?
Lies! Lies, I tell you! All of what you heard were lies!
Even though micro expressions and physiological responses do exist the literature shows that we are extremely bad at reading if other people are lying or not. There are no clear 'tells'. Damn you lie to me, you lied to me!
a lot of 'lying' traits are actually just how neurodivergent people communicate...so not often very reliable. like eye contact/shifting gaze. I'm not lying im just autistic and anxious lmao

Muscle Hank has been lying all along. There's a reason you don't see his legs in his pic.
Mr. Hank it is true, in science world there's never an absolute Truth and everything is changing and getting more accurate. I love the way you showed your own video as "one of those people" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤙
Soo you are either a Jedi or not a Jedi.
Was Hank's OMG over the content of the old episode, the comparatively poor production values of old SciShow (seriously, why was it always so dark?), or in recognition that his haircut at the time was somewhat questionable?
55,555 views, that is nice.
"Undertaker has 7 lives",the worst lie in the childhood days
What's this about "if you think of your brains as a computer which you mostly shouldn't"? I wonder in what way that's true.
Jonathon Carrillo // in that their behaviours and operations are mostly governed by Apple?
Here early, and I promise that's not a lie~
If person starts with"Believe me" or "Trust me", don't.
Eh, not always. Some people just talk like that.
+Christel Headington Believe me.Some things are just harder to believe.
If you have some sort of set rule like that then you're guaranteed to think poorly about someone who is actually totally trustworthy.
This just makes you seem paranoid and bitter.
Believe me, there are no silver bullets for detecting lies, including using common English phrases which may be associated with untruthfulness but the correlation isn't 100%.
Can’t we use a neural network?
use Torture works like 90% most of the time.
