I am definitely liking all of these statistics that are being thrown out throughout this video. I never realized lying was this prevalent and how much it affects us in our day-to-day lives. I also remember hearing about the show lie to me and it is really cool that studying people who lie actually goes on in society. I loved the examples and how she went through in detail what to look for and how to spot someone who lies. This is a pretty good video, I enjoyed watching it and learning how to tell a lie. The presenter definitely told us about what human traits to look out for and definitely helped those who didn't really have an idea of how to spot a liar. I will now try to see who lies to me on a daily basis, thank you professor.

TITLE - Pamela Meyer: How to spot a liar
Since my attention span is quite short, this video was very long, yet intriguing. Pamela delivers an abundance of information on lying and how to spot a liar. What stuck with me the most is that the more intelligent an individual or species is, the more likely they are to be deceiving or a liar. Pamela also tells us that strangers lie to each other about 3 times within the first 10 minutes of meeting. This video also had me thinking about how important it is to not only be aware of lies, but to try to find the truth in people as well. Being humans, we are not perfect and are bound to lie, even if its a white lie. I think since it is our nature to lie we should be moe aware of what lies are just white lies and are harmful and which lies are truly deceptive. I would not want to spend my days evaluating and observing people in order to spot them in a lie. I think it is better to find the truth in people instead of trying to catch them in a lie.

Pamela Meyer: How to spot a liar
This video was probably one of my favorites. This was an excellent video for me to watch since I am one of those individuals that believes everyone is telling the truth. I really enjoyed that the video gave tips on how to tell when someone is lying to you. I realize that people lie for different reasons. Some are big lies and some are small white lies, but all in all they are still lies. This video has shown just how much and many different ways that people can lie. I think it is important to know whats to tell when someone is lying to you. It could change the situation and the choices you pick based on knowing if an individual is lying or not.

Pamela Meyer: How to spot a liar This is a really interesting video. I do find it discomforting that paying attention to these things are necessary. I am usually a trusting person and don't question as many things as I probably should. So I will probably watch this video again another time to really take note of the things she mentions. I just really hope that the people that see this pay attention to the fact that these markers don't prove that the person is lying always. They are just things that should make you a little skeptical.

There is a difference of Lie spotting to truth seeking to trust building. Whether you are a willing or unwilling participant in deception, the key remains that lying is inevitable. It is on the best interest of the company to not tell anybody any lies, despite them being 'little white lies' etc. learn how to adapt to then a s leave

TITLE - Pamela Meyer: How to spot a liar
This video was very interesting! I could not load it fully, but all of the points Pamela made were very true an real. We all lie. We grow up learning how lie and how to manipulate for our best interest, and what we often times think is for others best interest. Spotting a liar takes a person who is observant and extremely aware of the other persons emotions an actions. Ofcourse different physical things a person does, such as looking away, may trigger a response that they are lying! But some people are so sneaky that it would take a lie detector to determine if they were telling the truth or not...and amazingly people can pass against thoughts as well!

I have truly enjoyed this video because I always think I know when someone is lying based on my intuition, but to know real scientific facts about the traits of a liar is exciting. I can't wait to practice these skills on people I encounter just to see if my thoughts told me something different, although there is no guarantee that I'm right about of it. This video has kind of made me cautious about the things that I do. I want to be more aware of these because I'm sure that I am bound to do these things when I'm nervous, especially smile. I smile nervously through all my presentations, but that doesn't make me a liar.

Everyone is a liar at some point in life. When someone lies to you, you have two options: confront them, or let them continue lying. Letting them continue lying is usually the best one to go with because they will eventually catch themselves and realize that you knew all along. It can be said that the more intelligent you are the more likely you are to lie to someone that you do not know because you can come up with a logical reason as to why it is okay to lie and the older you get the better a liar you become. Just stick to the truth people.

i would definitely share this link with friends and colleagues. Thank you Professor!!I think the video is very informative. The bottom line is that no one likes liars and being a liar detector is key. Companies are starting to do personality tests in order to select the right candidate for the job in order to minimize deceptive people. People do not like liars and being a liar compromises your integrity. This video really has a lot of insight on how to pick out liars and deceptive people. It might make you more aware of signs to look for in people.

This video was okay, but it didn't really tell me too much that I didn't already know. The only thing that was new to me is that liars will use the formal version of words (such as saying 'did not' instead of 'didn't'). However this is all still good stuff to hear as I deal with people who spout venomous lies on a daily basis.

Lying is a coping tool for various reasons as telling the truth can take too much time, effort, and emotion. White lies are mostly harmless and can be forgiven; it is when significant intent is put behind lying that lives can be destroyed. For this reason, becoming a lie spotter is important for not only detecting lies, but for protecting ourselves. A lie spotter is able to filter through lies to find the truth in which they need. It is less about judging people negatively and more about extracting information from people. Lying is natural and even good people lie.
The reason people tend to tell lies is for the same reason they do not want to tell the truth: the truth exposes a person for who they really are making weaknesses known. It’s amazing to think even married couples lie! This is the biggest testament for lying being natural. Often times, we love people so much we have trouble telling them the truth. Lying is not only for self-benefitting purposes, but it can be a tool for protecting others as well. By thinking lies are unnatural or by thinking everyone is out to get you, a sense of paranoia will develop making the truth impossible to find.

This is so true! It is a harsh truth to acknowledge that everyone is a liar, but its true. We all tell lies to prevent things, to avoid things, or just to get out of things. It is much smarter to be a truth seeker than a lie detector. Once you accept that everyone is a liar then its not hard to want to move forward to wanting to get to the truth in every possible situation.
I love that men lie to protect themselves and women lie to protect other people. SHOCKER (not really)

Lying is engrained in our culture and society. It is something that is especially prevalent in the world of business. The points in this video are very informative, and I would encourage anyone to watch this video because the message can be beneficial in the day-to-day lives of people in any field. I will definitely keep these points in mind in my own job.

How to spot a liar was a really good video and great examples. You can spot them with verbal and physical signs. She says everyone is a liar, which may be true. White lies are more common than we thinks. I mean i can see that when people ask "how are you?" most often people say good... and in some cases they may not be but don't want to bother those who ask with their problems. That is considered a lie. We don't think about it in small cases like that. I can take away some good tips on spotting a liar by watching their body language and how the verbally express themselves.

We are all a bunch of little liars. I learned something new that I didn't realize that apparently we all do. We all lie whether it is a white lie or a big lie. The statistics the speaker gave prove to us that we are all liars. She used two propositions and gave us two patterns. When you looked at the examples that she used, it was really obvious who was lying and who wasn't lying. We are all deceptive to some degree, but you don't want the really deceptive people working for your company.
