This week’s International Association of Interviewers interview and interrogation training tip provided by Wicklander-Zulawski, has Angela Nino, CFI discussing truthful denials during the interview.
If your job involves interviewing, it is possible that a situation will arize where you will mistakenly confront a truthful subject and that will clearly result in a denial. So truthful people will say, “I didn’t do it.” But guilty people will also say that they didn’t do it. So how do we know if it is a truthful denial?
Typically, truthful denial responses are quick and spontaneous. Usually these type of denials increase in frequency and intensity. The body language and posture should match the delivery. The truthful know what they’re saying is true, and they don’t want to consider rationalizations.
