Document Summary
Women react to a rival"s interference by seeking to improve the relationship. Get rid of the rival or devalue the relationship. People who cope successfully often practice self-reliance and self-bolstering, maintaining a sense of self-confidence about their ability to thrive independently. Deception is intentional behavior that creates an impression in the recipient that the deceiver knows is false. Liars may also experience deceiver"s distrust, coming to perceive the recipients of their lies as less honest and trustworthy than they really are. Some people tell more lies than others do. Sociable and gregarious people tend to tell more lies. People with secure attachment styles tend to tell fewer lies. No single cue always indicates that a person is lying. Instead, discrepancies and mismatches in the components of a liar"s nonverbal behavior arouse suspicion. The specific mannerisms that indicate that a person is lying may be quite idiosyncratic.
