Body Language-Lying- Eye Contact

Much has been written about eye contact and lying, but be careful.  It is thought by some that right handed persons darting their eyes to the left (vice vresa for left handed) suggest lying or avoidance of truth.  However, it might also indicate a simple distraction.  Others believe that avoiding direct eye contact hints at lying, but imight also signal compliance or submission.  In general eyes shifting rapidly back and forth sideways is a clue to lying.  However, focus on the circumstances of the conversation as the context may affect eye movements rather than lying.  As always, lying is a complex human behavior and eye movements are only a clue, not an absolute determinant.
