About this course

Would you like a better understanding of the signs of deception and truth? This two-session course is underpinned by scientific studies, videos and the latest research, highlighting how an understanding of our ancient survival instincts can help us to ‘read people’.  

What will be covered on the course?  What will be taught to learners? 

• Discover the myths and misconceptions about lying. The course will focus on deception, with a look at how liars may leak their true feelings. There will be illustrated presentations, video and discussion, and we’ll look at real-life cases and learn how to spot the signs of stress and discomfort. 

What will learners achieve by the end of the course? 

• You will understand the difficulties of detecting deception and the reasons for this, whilst improving your understanding of the signs of mental discomfort. You will become better at appreciating how people unconsciously signal their ‘hidden’ true feelings. 

Suggested Reading for the course: 

• The Psychology of Lying and Detecting Lies by Bella DePaulo
