Pitfalls to Detecting Deception
Briefly

Accurately detecting deception involves a two-step process: first identifying unusual verbal and nonverbal cues, then interpreting those cues to assess truthfulness.
While micro-expressions can suggest underlying emotions, their interpretation is highly subjective and culturally influenced, making them unreliable as stand-alone indicators of deception.
The Othello Effect highlights a significant pitfall in deception detection, where anxious but truthful individuals are frequently disbelieved, leading to potential false accusations.
