The Bull***t About Lie Detection

The biggest frustration about delving into the world of non-verbal communication is the amount of rubbish one must wade through to find the good stuff. I’m not just talking about the trashy articles you find on online, even some of the best sellers on ‘body language’ and ‘non-verbal behaviour‘ are scary in how unsubstantiated they are. […]

Universal indicators of shame – a blend of Sadness and Embarrassment?

There is widespread acceptance in the scientific community that there are universal indicators for seven basic emotions, though there is little evidence to suggest the same for shame. Shame has been argued to be “an affect – an emotion or feeling – not a thought, drive or interpersonal phenomenon per se”[1] (Kaufman, 1980). This is […]

EIA supports ACFE in the battle against global fraud using Behaviour Analysis

Dr. Wells came to recognize in the early days of the ACFE that the anti-fraud profession suffered from a glaring weakness: we simply did not know enough about the crimes we were trying to fight. So, with the aid of ACFE researchers John Warren and Andi McNeal, he set out to address the problem by […]

The Seven Universal Facial Expressions

Step into the world of facial expressions, where every subtle movement, from a smile to a furrowed brow, conveys a wealth of information without a word being spoken. Our faces, powered by 43 intricate muscles, become the silent narrators of our emotions and thoughts. This complex interplay of voluntary and involuntary muscle movements serves as […]

The Truth about the Communication Formula – 55/38/7

So… you’re at a training seminar on speaking or presentation skills and you’re given the magic formula: 55% of our communications are through body language, 38% through vocal tone, and only 7% through the actual verbal content. However, are you aware that this formula, although taught on most presentation skills courses to this day, has […]

A Behavioral Analysis of Ryan Lochte

4 behavioral indicators that showed Ryan Lochte had more to tell. I’m sure you are aware by now that the ‘armed robbery’ of 4 of the USA swimming team during the Rio Olympics has been found out to be completely false. Whilst the swimmers have now admitted their mistake after being caught out by CCTV, […]

Identifying a genuine smile

A smile is the universal signal of enjoyment, excitement, happiness, and joy….But, not all smiles mean a person is happy. There are some different scenarios when one may display a smile without feeling any happiness at all. For example, this may be out of politeness, or more ironically, used to mask an unpleasant emotion. How then, can we trust a […]

Reading Others – Making Sense of Truth and Lies in an L&D setting

What is it that we see and hear from others that helps us believe they are being truthful? A successful coach or L&D practitioner needs to be able to accurately read the information or feedback given off by their coachee or learner in a variety of settings. But how do you ensure that you capture all that […]

Peer-Reviewed Research Paper – The Power of the SCAnR model for Public Appeals

Public appeals, news interviews and crocodile tears: an argument for multi-channel analysis Authored by: Dawn Archer and Cliff Lansley Published by: Corpora 2015 Vol. 10 PDF Version In this paper, we propose a Six Channel Analysis System (SCAnS) for the (semi-)automatic investigation of potential deception across all communication channels. SCAnS builds on our current system: Six Channel […]

Behaviour Analysis

Multi-channel behavior detection is core to our safety and security.

Having just spent another week with our Emotional Intelligence Academy team and an integrated group of intelligence and security agency professionals in Europe (as part of a 2-year initiative) I am warmed by the commitment and dedication to the common agenda of public/national safety and security around international airports. I was also interested to see […]

Do Chimps Smile Like Humans?

The findings from the University of Portsmouth suggest that chimpanzees’ communication is more similar to humans than was previously known. The research also found that chimpanzees are able to produce these smile types silently, without being constrained by the accompanying laughing sound, ScienceDaily reported. Lead researcher Marina Davila-Ross said… The researchers filmed 46 chimpanzees at […]

Give me a hand…

Our hands are one of the most expressive ways to communicate bar the face. The deaf often rely on a combination of hand gestures in the form of a sign-language and facial expression to add emphasis in the absence of the spoken word. When we replace verbal communication with a gesture it is often called […]

Lip Service: Disgust, Contempt & Facial Expression Science

In the last post we spoke mostly about the upper face and how five of the seven universally displayed emotions have reliable displays around the eyes. This time we are going to look at the remaining 2 universals, Disgust and Contempt and their displays in the lower face, particularly around the mouth. Before we move […]

And the Eyes have it.

I think that most of us would have heard the expressions “The eyes are the windows to the soul”, “that one had shift eyes”, or even, “He has the eyes of a killer!” Could this be because so much emotion is demonstrated by the eyes and surrounding areas? There is no doubt that eye contact […]
