A good liar is like a chameleon. <\/p>\n

In a new study, researchers have identified a strong sign of fibbing: mimicking the body language of the person they\u2019re lying to. <\/p>\n

\u201cA liar and a copycat,\u201d the title of the new study<\/a> now published in the Royal Society\u2019s Open Science journal, could later lead to app<\/a>lications of the theory in criminal justice, New Scientist reported<\/a> on Friday. <\/p>\n

\u201cLiars often deliberately change their behavior into a way they think truth-tellers behave, but this particular copycat behavior is something they wouldn\u2019t even try to manipulate because they don\u2019t realize they\u2019re doing it,\u201d said Sophie Van Der Zee, researcher at Erasmus University Rotterdam in the Netherlands.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat could make it an interesting cue for detecting deceit,\u201d she told New Scientist.<\/p>\n

The study asked university students to solve a puzzle while under the impression that the task should take five minutes or fewer. In reality, the riddle was much harder than the time they were allotted. <\/p>\n

Van Der Zee encouraged cheating by providing clues to solve the puzzle, then pretended to confess that she\u2019d left them there \u201caccidentally\u201d \u2014 asking the students not to inform her supervisor of the slip-up, but to feel free to use the hints. <\/p>\n

Participants, strapped into highly sensitive motion trackers, weren\u2019t aware that it wasn\u2019t their puzzle-solving ability that researchers hoped to monitor, but how they discussed the task. If they heeded Van Der Zee\u2019s request, they\u2019d be forced to lie about how they successfully solved the difficult puzzle by using the clues. <\/p>\n

On observation, researchers found that the liars tended to mirror the body language of the person with whom they spoke about the puzzle, whereas honest participants moved differently from their conversational counterpart. <\/p>\n

Van Der Zee believes the mental load of lying might be too much for our brains, which resort to copycat behavior while the intellectual mind is focused on crafting their deception. Unfortunately, these subtle changes can be difficult to notice without laboratory tools. <\/p>\n

Researchers conclude the study is limited in its findings, as the motion sensors couldn\u2019t determine who was imitating whom, which means the reverse is also possible \u2014 that the innocent may be mimicking the liar.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
