Unraveling Lies: A Comparative Analysis of Deception

A person once said “the truth does not cost a person anything, but a lie costs a person everything”. The aim of the study is to take an in depth look at how the kinds of lies and sex differences in lying demonstrated in the scientific article are related with Pamela Meyer's tedtalk.

Kinds of lies

Self centered and other oriented lies are two different types of lies. Self centered are lies people use in order to lie about themselves , while other oriented are lies people use to lie about other people. In the scientific article written by Depaulo presented that a participant would tell more self- centered lies than other oriented lies. According to a mixed model forty five percent

Meyers stated in the ted talk lies happen for the sake social dignity in which participants were willing into deception. For, instance there was a man named henry oberlander said ´´everyone is willing to give someone something for whatever it is they are hungry for´´, To simplify he means that everyone wants to improve every aspect of their life.

In the ted talk ,Meyers described about a hot spot in order to spot a liar, it was a deception attitude where two people were having a conversation. A person who is honest would be cooperative , Ie words an honest person would be willing to be helpful in order to get to the truth. For example , there was an interview with president candidate John Edwards who shooked his head yes, while saying no. Meyers also states in the ted talk that the difference between a lying expression and expression that tells the truth is that. The lying face expression is an expression of contempt and also easy to learn, the expression of truth on the other hand is an asymmetrical expression and in expression of contempt .For instance, it could be two people playing in the field but when anger comes into play, the lie will be dismissed. Furthermore, it was revealed that science has surfaced many indicators. An example is that liars are known to shift their upper bodies , point their feet towards an exit and shift their blink
