Question

Which way to people tend to turn their face when making up a story?

Left or right? Explain why?

Answer 1

Left to lie. The left side becomes more dominant when the right side of the brain is in control. The face turns toward that leftward dominance as it hurriedly activates. The right side of the brain tends to deal more in abstract thought- fictions or "creative description".

Answer 2

People lean their heads to the right when making up a story/lying because the right side of the brain is where the creative sections are.

Answer 3

People tend to look left and up when making up details. It's like they're looking to the sky for help in thinking up a store.

They look down when trying to remember.

Also, people tend to add lots of details when they're lying in an attempt to make their story more real.

Answer 4

I read somewhere that when people are lying, they tend to turn their eyes to the left. When they're being honest, they'll turn them to the right. It's subconcious so it's not like they even know they're doing it. I wouldn't assume every time someone's eyes go to the left that it means they're lying though.

Answer 5

I cant tell you why anymore, but awhile ago i was watching this episode on 60 minutes, and the whole thing was about peoples body languange when they lie, and when people are lying thier EYES turn to the left....and/or their eyes will widen....

Answer 6

According to my psychology class people will turn their eyes upwards if they are remembering something, and left if they are making it up. I think i remember that 60 minutes episode too

Answer 7

i didn't read it anywhere, or see it on TV... but i would assume LEFT.. because i look to the left when i'm lying... its my bad side.. :)
