Overview: The use of deceptive messages is a communication strategy that, unlike using messages created by other methods, relies on creating or perpetuating false impressions upon other people. Normally, we are encouraged to communicate in a clear and accurate manner to help get our message across. Deception is generally divided into five categories: fabrication, exaggeration, half-truths, omissions, and misdirection. Time is also an important element in the act of deception. Most such acts aren't planned beforehand. When the deceiver has little time to prepare, or is being directly questioned, he is more likely to choose a lie. A better-prepared deceiver might choose a strategy that combines both omission and misdirection instead.
