Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

People are actually not very good at detecting deception in others. Studies have consistently shown that people are only slightly better than chance at detecting lies, regardless of whether they are in face-to-face conversations or communicating online. Certain cues, such as fidgeting or avoiding eye contact, are not reliable indicators of deception. However, people tend to believe that they are good at detecting lies, which can lead to overconfidence and mistakes.
