EXERCISE 18. SIT IN A SMALL GROUP AND READ THE "DEAR MRS. GENTLY" COLUMN AGAIN, THEN DISCUSS THE QUESTIONS AFTER THE LETTER

Dear Mrs. Gently, In the children's story, the wooden puppet Pinocchiocould never hide a lie because when he told one, his nose grew longer. Wouldn't it be convenient if that happened every time my husband told a lie? But since it doesn't happen, how can I decide whether he is lying to me or telling the truth? Puzzled Jane.

Dear Puzzled, Psychologist Paul Ekman has made a lifetime study of how people act when they lie. Usually they don’t only want the hearer to believe the words they are saying; they also want to cover up some strong emotions that they are feeling such as guilt, shame, fear, anger, pain, or even pleasure. There are four kinds of behavior that can give a lie away: the liar’s words, voice, body, and face. But we know from experience, there are “good” liars and “bad” ones. Keep in mind that you are risking two mistakes: one, that you might believe a lie; the other that you might disbelieve the truth. Don’t let your emotions influence your judgment. Are you looking for a lie because you are jealous or angry? If so, you may “see” a lie that isn’t there. You had better talk confidentially to your husband. Mrs. Gently.
