you rarely know who lies, don't you?
dr. ekman from the university of california said that in the real world, if a jury doesn't believe you. you go to jail, and if your wife doesn't believe you she leaves you. fortunately for husbands and wives, research suggests that they have a very good chance of getting away with their lies. if appears that it is easier to lie to a partner than it is to lie to a stranger. women, however, were considerably better than men at detecting lies. another clue to spotting liars is how well-educated the are. dr. depaulo, another researcher, also found that the number of lies that people tell increases if they have been university-educated. education gives people more confidence to deceive.
