How does someone’s speech show if they’re being deceptive? Can stress cause speech problems?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even though stress is psychological, it often manifests in physical ways. One way stress can show itself is through someone’s speech. Further, signs of stress in someone’s speech may indicate they’re lying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speech Indicators: Detecting Stress and Deception<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To answer if stress causes speech problems, Hughes describes many signs to look for in someone\u2019s speech. However, we\u2019ll focus on these four: hesitation, changing speed and pitch, reversing a question, and attaching caveats to statements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speech Indicator #1: Hesitation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

According to Hughes, if you ask someone a question and they take a long pause before responding, they may be stalling for time to think of a lie.<\/strong> This also applies when someone repeats your whole question back to you. For example, if you asked your employee \u201cWhy were you so late turning in this project?\u201d and they say \u201cWhy was I so late turning in this project? Well\u2026\u201d before answering, they might be thinking up a lie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speech Indicator #2: Changing Speed and Pitch<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Hughes says that people\u2019s voices tend to get higher and their speech faster when they\u2019re lying<\/strong>, so pay attention to whether someone\u2019s speech patterns change as they speak. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speech Indicator #3: Reversing a Question<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Hughes explains that another way people often hide deception is to reverse a question that\u2019s asked of them.<\/strong> For example, if you suspect your spouse is cheating on you, you might ask them, \u201cHave you ever thought about being with someone else?\u201d If they defensively respond, \u201cHave you <\/em>ever thought about being with someone else?\u201d they may be withholding something important from you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(Shortform note: A reversed question often comes across as confrontational, like in the example above. The authors of Spy the Lie<\/em><\/a> consider confrontational or aggressive responses to questions suspicious because they\u2019re likely attempts to annoy or scare you into backing off<\/a>.) <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speech Indicator #4: Caveats for Excluding Details<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

People may include caveats in their statements that allow them to omit certain details without explicitly lying.<\/strong> Examples of these caveats include, \u201cIf I remember correctly,\u201d \u201cAs far as I know,\u201d \u201cIf memory serves,\u201d and similar statements. The context of these statements is important. If you ask someone if they\u2019ve ever committed a murder, they shouldn\u2019t need to search their memory for that information. If they preface their response with \u201cAs far as I can remember,\u201d you may want to avoid spending time alone with that person!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Five-Second Rule, Clusters, and Additional Signs of Deception<\/strong>

Other experts suggest that reading people<\/a> may not be as simple as just generally watching for these indicators. In Spy the Lie<\/em><\/a>, the authors note that the human brain can\u2019t closely monitor and analyze every single thing someone says and does throughout an entire conversation<\/a>. To avoid overwhelming your brain, they recommend 1) using the five-second rule and 2) looking for clusters <\/em>of stress indicators. 

To use the five-second rule, focus on the five seconds after you\u2019ve asked someone a question. This ensures that their behaviors are in direct response to the question and not related to other stimuli. Look for both verbal and physical indicators during this interval\u2014and once five seconds have gone by, if you haven\u2019t seen a sign of deception, assume that any further indicators are unrelated to your question. 

The authors also recommend watching for clusters of stress indicators: when someone shows two or more signs of deception in their response. Again, at least the first <\/em>sign of deception must occur in that five-second window. If you see one sign of deception in the first five seconds, a second sign of deception outside that window counts as part of the cluster. If you see multiple signs of deception that begin after<\/em> the five-second window, don\u2019t consider them related to your question.

The authors also highlight many of the same signals of deception as Hughes: For example, they concur that facial touching and hesitating before answering<\/a> are potential indicators of lying. They add other indicators that Hughes doesn\u2019t mention:

Clearing one\u2019s throat before answering (though they emphasize that clearing one\u2019s throat after<\/em> answering is not a sign of deception)

Being overly specific in their responses<\/strong>

Making oaths (like \u201cI swear on God,\u201d or \u201cI swear on my family\u2019s lives\u201d)

Complaining about procedure (like saying, \u201cThis is taking too long!\u201d)

Being overly polite

Being overly concerned about minor events, or being less concerned than they should be about major events<\/strong>

Looking for these signs, in addition to those Hughes describes, can help you better identify when someone may be lying to you.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
