Notes on Deception

+ Deception, deceit, bluff and beguilement are acts to propagate beliefs that are not true or not the whole truth (half-truths, omissions).
+ Camouflage & concealment
+ Five primary types of deception are:
   1) Lies - Making up information or giving information that's opposite or very different from the truth.
   2) Equivocations - Making an indirect, ambiguous or contradictory statement.
   3) Concealments - Omitting information or engaging in behavior that helps hide relevant information.
   4) Exaggerations - Overstatement or stretching the truth to a degree.
   5) Understatements - Minimization or downplaying aspects of the truth.
+ Motives can include, parter focused, self focused or relationship focused.
+ Camouflage is a form of visual deception (e.g. Military)
+ A disguise is an appearance to create the impression of being somebody or something else.
+ Simulation consists of exhibiting false information.
+ The three simulation techniques are:
   1) Mimicry, copying another model.
   2) Fabrication, making up a new model.
   3) Distraction, offering an alternative model.
+ Rationale for such deceptions is that humans are sensitive to how they appear to others, this self- consciousness will affect how they behave and appear.
