Over the last few years, deception research has been plagued by disappointing results. Reading liars’ intentions via their body language or from their face – blushing cheeks, a nervous laugh, darting eyes – has been proven to be ineffective.

According to researcher Thomas Ormerod at the University of Sussex, a better way to detect a liar is to shift the focus away from the subtle mannerisms to the words people are actually saying, gently probing the right pressure points to make the liar’s front crumble.

在過去幾年中，針對欺騙行為的研究，皆被令人失望的結果困擾著。透過肢體語言跟臉部表情，例如用臉紅、緊張的乾笑、閃避的眼神來偵測說謊行為，被證實是不靈的。

根據薩塞克斯大學的研究者湯馬斯･奧莫羅德所說，更有效的偵測方式，是停止專注於說話者細微的動作，轉向注意發言者話語中的實際內容。在正確的壓力點施以巧妙的盤問，讓說謊者露出馬腳。
