Behaviour Analysis

Your Hands Do the Talking: How Gestures Influence Communication

Symbolic gestures or emblems are often used to facilitate social transactions and they can play a key role in human communication. Sometimes these can be without words and are often made with the hands. But gestures come from elsewhere too, such as shaking the head, which in many Western cultures means “no”, or raising the […]

Elevating Airport Security: An Advanced and Adaptive Behavioural Detection Approach

In the ever-evolving landscape of security challenges, the application of behavioural analysis has emerged as a crucial tool for detecting potential threats. By meticulously assessing behaviours and activities, security personnel can identify individuals with malicious intent, mitigating potential risks. Integrating behavioural detection into a comprehensive security framework is paramount for enhancing overall security measures. This […]

Unlocking the Secrets of Communication: The Science of Reading Emotions and Detecting Deception in Coaching and L&D

Emotional intelligence is a crucial factor in coaching and L&D. The ability to accurately read feedback from learners is essential for success, but it can be challenging due to the nuances of communication. Recognising when learners conceal their true thoughts and feelings is particularly valuable, especially when anxiety or lack of confidence is present. Using […]

Body Language Myth Buster

Cutting through the myths and flawed research within the field of body language and behaviour analysis Social media and conflicting research in body language prompted me to help researchers, and organisations cut through the myths floating around – many based on research with flawed logic. There seem to be four popular myths which I have […]

Conducting research with a purpose

Academic research is vital, but it’s pointless if we’re not using it. Academic literature, and the world of academia more generally, can often be seen as being disconnected from the ‘real world in which we spend our time. As we negotiate life’s challenges and trials, it’s sometimes hard for us to see how the work […]

How to Read Body Language and Detect Lies

Lies come in various forms and can be totally fabricated stories similar in theme to the ones below: “We must do coffee sometime!” “Of course I love you!” “No, your bottom doesn’t look big in that dress”. “Sorry I am late. The traffic was so busy this morning!” “I did not have sexual relations with […]

Are you analysing behaviour through the lens or in the mirror?

Here at EIA, we spend our daily lives immersed in various aspects of the science of human behaviour. As well as conducting analyses, our own research, and keeping up with new research from others, we also teach, consult and coach others in these diverse areas of science. In doing so, we’ve noticed that there often […]

How long does it take to become a lie detector?

This is a question we are often asked, and it depends on who you ask. It also depends on the methodology used for lie detection. Practitioners usually use one or more of the following three methods: Let’s have a look at these. The immediate challenge here is that polygraph subjects can be stressed or fearful […]

The Power to Do Nothing

When is it okay to call people out? One of the most common phrases that I hear when discussing what we do at EIA is something along the lines of, “Wow! Your wife and kids must hate you!”. My usual response is to laugh it off, as the concept of the perpetually cynical behaviour analyst, […]

(Anti)-Social Distancing

At this very moment in time, around the world, millions of people are adjusting to the restrictions that have been put in place by governments dealing with the COVID-19 pandemic. Those restrictions range widely in their severity and impact on all our lives both personally and professionally. But as we’ve all begun adjusting to these […]

What was it that triggered ’emotional contagion’ in the Boris NHS Speech?

A few people have said to me that the Boris post-NHS hospitalisation speech triggered sadness in them… and yet the trigger seemed subconscious. ‘I couldn’t put my finger on what it was that connected with me’. There were some very subtle signals that combined to create this powerful force that psychologists call emotional contagion – […]

Basic Behaviour Analysis for the First 7 Seconds of Zoom Meetings

It’s Monday morning and you open up a ‘Zoom’ virtual video chat with a work colleague with a smile on your face, gently enquiring, “Good morning, how are you?”. Your colleague snaps back, “I AM… FINE!!”, using a loud tone that has an edge to it. Unless this is normal (baseline) behaviour for this person […]

Artificial Intelligence and human behaviour

Many advertisers, tech giants, and border forces are using varying types of software in an attempt to monitor our emotions or detect whether we are being dishonest. The justification for this invasion on our privacy is that these systems will make our lives easier, safer, and even more enjoyable. The issue, however, is that all […]

What’s the difference between DiSC and Behavioural Analysis?

In the past few years, there has been a growing popularity of the DISC assessment. Recently the question arose about the difference between DISC and behavioural analysis? In answering this question, it’s essential to ask what each of them is trying to explore and from this draw out differences between them. The original DISC model […]

Is Shamima Begum a threat to the UK?

Behaviour Analysis

Fake tears or real sadness?

In a recent Discovery Channel documentary series, the team analysed the behaviour of some of the worlds most widely known criminals (all of which pleaded their innocence). While conducting their analysis they picked up on a fascinating behavioural tell that was consistent across six of the subjects who were lying about their involvement. Cliff Lansley, one […]
