We conducted a series of experiments suggesting that participants deliberately lie during their interviews. We have found that people, regardless of gender, say a lie, begin to unconsciously make movements with their feet. Most of the participants in the experiment consciously changed the expression of their faces, tried to control the hands, but did not feel at all what their legs and feet were doing. The results of our experiment were confirmed by psychologist Paul Ekman. He found that at the time of lying in people lower body is significantly activated. From this we can conclude that to identify a lie, one should observe the whole body of a person. That is why many managers feel comfortable only sitting at a closed table hiding the lower part of their bodies.
| If you are not sure if the person sitting at the table is telling the truth, take a look under the table.

Sitting at a glass table, a person is much more nervous than a wooden one, because under the clear glass we can see our legs and we do not feel complete control over the situation.
