Liespotting

Ah, election season, not the best time of the year for truth. Now that the mailers and calls have stopped coming, have a look at this page that discusses lies in the business setting. Many of the cues that you will have to lies come from nonverbal communication, such as licking of lips, lowered voice, and frozen upper body. There are also cues in the words, though, such as unnecessary details, and lack of contractions ("did not" instead of "didn't") or distancing language.
