Hundreds of years ago, Charles Darwin predicted
that facial expressions of emotion are {#blank#}1{#/blank#}. If you've ever seen an episode of the popular US TV drama Lie To
Me, you will really understand facial expressions. The leading actor of the
show, Dr. Cal Lightman has spent 20 years studying nonverbal communication and
facial expressions, which allows him to point out other people's studying
nonverbal communication and facial expressions which allows him to point out
other people's {#blank#}2{#/blank#} and on many occasions, to
be skilled at tricking in order to get the truth.
Is there really much
truth behind this science of {#blank#}3{#/blank#} human emotions through
expressions? Paul Ekman, a(n) {#blank#}4{#/blank#} psychologist whose work
focuses on mapping facial expressions, is Lie To Me's scientific advisor and
the following are some of his explanations.
Hand-to-face gesture
indicates a lie.
Each micro-expression is
unique to {#blank#}5{#/blank#} specific emotions because
the person is often unaware of doing it. But it doesn't necessarily mean that
they are lying when someone uses a hand to hide part of his face. The person
could be holding back information but you may better consider looking at other
more important clues rather than just the simple hand-to-face gesture.
A liar refuses eye
contact.
People look away when
they are thinking carefully and considering each word before it is spoken, not just
when they are {#blank#}6{#/blank#} an excuse. Oblique
eyebrows are a very reliable {#blank#}7{#/blank#} of sadness and few people
can make this {#blank#}8{#/blank#} expression, so it is
actually never faked.
Guilty knowledge
technique is {#blank#}9{#/blank#}.
Lightman often uses the
guilty knowledge technique, mentioning something that only the guilty person
will know about and show a(n) {#blank#}10{#/blank#}. This is often used in
polygraph exams: "Was the person strangled, shot or stabbed to death?"
Only the killer knows and is likely to respond physiologically when the actual
weapon is mentioned.
