As 'The Traitors' final airs, psychologist Richard Wiseman discusses the intricacies of deception. He explains that sanctioned lies, like those on the show, are easier due to players being given permission to deceive. Wiseman emphasizes that lies told with justifiable reasons help alleviate anxiety and diminish telltale signs. Although some visual cues exist that may signal deception, they are not as widely effective as assumed. Wiseman argues that understanding the context and rationale behind a lie is key to its success.
Lying for a reason that convinces the liar will lower anxiety about lying and help curb behaviors suggesting deception.
On 'Traitors,' lying is encouraged, making the Traitors' task easier than those who align with truth.
