Document Summary

Q: cognitive and behavioural tasks - all things being equal, females should do better on all tasks except Hesitations and pauses - fill pauses (um, ah) to think up another lie (even though people do this for many different reasons, one of those possible reasons is for lying) Most persuasive people have a reasonably high speed and amplitude, talk slightly faster than an individual"s ability to follow you. Nodding and smiling if you understand what somebody is talking about. Paul ekman says there are 6 primary emotions, recognized by almost everybody: anger, fear, disgust, surprise, happiness, sadness. Anger and disgust get confused often; in anger the eyes are open and staring at you while in disgust they"re not. In disgust you"re closing your eyes and nose, as if you don"t want to acknowledge.
