Chapter 3 Section 2 How the FBI sees through emotions through facial expressions

Experts from the FBI believe that people's emotional changes are often expressed in facial expressions, which can be said to be a display that conveys people's inner activities, and it can most intuitively reflect people's inner changes.Because the distribution of human facial muscles is very concentrated, the connection between these muscles and the brain is very close, and they can receive the information from the brain the fastest and most directly, and directly reflect these information in the expression.Therefore, by capturing the hidden information in the expression, we can gain insight into its true inner thoughts.

On a rainy night, the FBI received a report that a murder had occurred in a local bar.After receiving the report, the FBI police officers drove to the scene immediately.According to eyewitnesses at the scene: The location of the deceased was in a corner, relatively hidden, and everyone was drinking and chatting at the time, so they didn't pay much attention.However, some people have heard that the deceased had an argument with another person before he died.Then another person suddenly ran out, and the deceased was already lying on the table.The waiter at the bar saw the deceased lying on the table for a long time and thought he was drunk, so he ran to call him, but found that he was already dead. The waiter at the bar immediately called the police.After examining the body of the deceased, the police found that the deceased was stabbed to death with an umbrella.

Someone saw the suspect fleeing to the east of the city, and the FBI officers immediately chased him in the east of the city.Finally, half an hour later, a young man suspected of being a criminal was caught in front of a convenience store in the east of the city.Sergeant Robert immediately questioned the young man.The young man told Sergeant Robert that he had not been to the bar today, so he was not the murderer the police were looking for.The young man had an unnatural expression while speaking, and the corners of his mouth were twitching all the time.When Sergeant Robert saw this expression, he immediately decided that the young man was lying, so Sergeant Robert asked, "What is that umbrella in your hand for?"

The young man replied: "It's raining today, of course I'm going to take an umbrella to cover the rain." Sheriff Robert said: "Yes, it is indeed raining heavily tonight, but you are not using the umbrella to cover the rain, but to use it to kill people." When the young man heard Sergeant Robert's words, his face blushed immediately, and he lowered his head instantly. After interrogation, the young man confessed his crime. It can be said that facial expression is a universal language, which can cross cultural and geographical restrictions. It comes from the transmission of brain information. In the process of this information transmission, everyone's facial expression will not be the same. The information will not be the same either.Therefore, we can detect the psychological activities of others through the expression of the other party, and decipher the real information hidden behind the expression.

Emotional language is a "cold and heat table" that reflects people's emotional changes. FBI psychologist Pal Melas summed up such a formula: "Emotional expression = 7% language + 38% voice + 55% facial expression".In fact, facial expressions can provide us with much more useful information than other body parts. It can give us the most intuitive understanding of other people's thoughts and feelings.Therefore, if we can recognize the content contained in other people's facial expressions in the process of communicating with others, then we will control the psychology of the other party in the first place, thus leading the entire communication process.

After years of research, the FBI's facial expression experts have summed up a series of methods on how to analyze people's inner world through human expressions. If he is nervous, it means that he is very interested in the topic we are talking about; if the other party's chin is raised, the corners of the mouth are relaxed, and there is a smile, it shows that he has some interest in our speech, and he just accepts it. At this stage, we must not It is too hasty to persuade him patiently; but if the other party looks down, turns his face away, and closes his lips tightly, it means that the other party is not interested in the conversation. We'd better end this conversation quickly and choose an appropriate time to proceed comminicate.

FBI experts believe that because everyone's situation in real life will be different, there are good times and bad times, and in different situations, people's expressions are also different, so joy, anger and sorrow arise.Among people's emotions, laughter is one of the most common facial expressions.But at the same time, we also know that in the face of the same happy things, everyone's smiles show different forms: some people laugh out loud, some people smile slightly, some people cover their mouths and smile, and some people will laugh. Laugh silently... By understanding these different expressions, it is more conducive to our deep understanding of the other party's psychological character, and it is more conducive to the smooth progress of the conversation.

From a psychological point of view, people who laugh out loud are mostly open-minded people.They have a good sense of humor and integrity, but are also very loving and compassionate.It is easier to communicate with this kind of person.People who like to smile are generally introverted, and at the same time they are very thoughtful, calm-headed, and good at hiding themselves.To communicate with this kind of person, we have to spend some time. And when people encounter difficulties, that is, when adversity occurs, they will have some corresponding negative emotions. These expressions include boredom of people and things, and easy to lose their temper. These expressions are expressed through their basic facial features. of.Although this kind of performance may only appear very briefly, we can still read some signals from it.Sometimes they have very positive words in their mouths, but their facial expressions show very negative non-verbal signals.When we communicate with such people, as long as we guide them, we can also gain a dominant position.

There is another type of people who are the most difficult for us to deal with. They often hide their emotions deeply and are unwilling to communicate more with others, let alone share their feelings with others.So the changes in their facial expressions are correspondingly subtle, which is difficult for us to detect if we don't pay close attention.However, FBI experts have proved through years of practice that it is this subtle expression change that can better reflect the extremely complex psychological changes deep in the heart of such people.Therefore, when we talk with such people, we must observe carefully, grasp the subtle changes in expression, and figure out their truest thoughts and feelings deep in their hearts.In this way, when communicating with them, it will become smooth.

Everyone's emotions will always appear on the expression at the right time and in a unique way. Through many experiments, when a person is nervous, excited, frustrated, hesitant, angry, etc., there will be different facial expressions. As long as you put your heart into it To feel, these emotions will not escape your eyes.
