popular bel ief, a ll you have to do is look at a person's body language ; when a person

is lying he becomes nervous and fidgety, touches his nose , and bites his nails

entirely different conclusion Dr Samantha Mann carried 2) resear ch

o n the behavio ur of suspects who had given 3) statements in police

in terviews Mann discovered that liars actualJy stay qu it e sti l l T his is because they

are aware that peop le a r e l ook i ng for body language that could suggest they are

lyi ng Therefore, liars actually touch their noses 20% less than people who tell

the truth The same 4) for eye contact White it is generally

thought that liars avoid eye contact and b link rapidly, in

re ality , people who are lying 5) sure to

m a i nta i n eye contact and contro l their blinking With
