Emotional intelligence and mismatching expressive and verbal messages: a contribution to detection of deception.

Processing facial emotion, especially mismatches between facial and verbal messages, is believed to be important in the detection of deception. For example, emotional leakage may accompany lying. Individuals with superior emotion perception abilities may then be more adept in detecting deception by...
