Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Non-verbal cues for deception typically include behaviors that betray nervousness or discomfort, such as fidgeting, avoiding eye contact, and touching one's face or mouth. Calmness, on the other hand, may suggest that the person is trying to suppress their anxiety or is consciously trying to come across as composed and in control. Therefore, calmness is not a reliable indicator of deception. Choices B, C, and D are more commonly associated with deception, as hands over the mouth may indicate a desire to conceal or withhold information, crossing the arms may suggest defensiveness or closed-mindedness, and fleeing positions (such as turning away from the interviewer or moving away from the situation) may imply that the person is trying to escape scrutiny or avoid confrontation.
