An article in the Chicago Tribune written by Leslie Mann, she talks about Micro expression use in everyday life of people and how people with disorders may be able to read them better than others.
When someone tries to cover up a lie they unconsciously use micro expressions to tell how they really feel. “For example, when a criminal is asked if he committed a crime, he has a fearful micro expression but puts on a happy face when he says he didn’t commit the crime. People who are very good judges of character pick up on this, but everyone cannot.” (Mann) It is said that people with disorders can pick up on micro expression more easily than normal people. For example people with anxiety disorders are very sensitive to micro expressions. As well as people who might have phobias or obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD ) (Mann ). A person’s social factor is what causes a person to display the emotions they want to but when an involuntary micro expression comes along it can give off some clue to the surrounding people what that person may be really try to say or really what they might be trying not to say.
