Essay

One lesson that research has taught us is that many of the average person's beliefs about deception are wrong (e.g., lack of eye contact is a good clue to deception, most people are good at spotting deception, it is harder to lie to a suspicious person than an unsuspicious one). Offer reasoned speculation as to why people's beliefs about interpersonal deception are, on average, so inaccurate. Consider the potential roles played by emotion, religion, the media, and the mind or psyche.
