How long does it take you to respond to text messages? Liar!

Asked by elbanditoroso (33159points) September 13th, 2013

I love the types of things that are being studied these days.

A study done at Brigham Young Univ. observed that people who were lying took longer to respond than people who were telling the truth. My guess is that it took the liars longer to frame and word the lie than it did to respond with the truth.

The next thing, in my estimation, is that someone will develop an app that measures the “normal” response time on a text message exchange, and then decide if your boyfriend/girlfriend is lying to you based on whether he/she exceeds the previous average response time.

Read the article: http://natmonitor.com/2013/09/08/people-telling-lies-through-text-messages-take-longer-to-respond-researchers-say/

and ask yourself – do you take longer to write lies?
