The Behaviour Panel on Harry's interview with Anderson Cooper

[purpledalmation]

Aficionados of the Behaviour Panel will love this dissection (almost literally) of Harry.

The Behaviour Panel have kind of soured for me after their Gabby Petitio videos and turnaround following that with no real other commentary on how they got it so wrong. Body language analysis is interesting but worth noting that it is a very soft ‘science’ and led a huge amount by the internal biases of the analysers and their own views and experiences. This YouTube video is also worth a watch.

@toastofthetown Not seen this video but how and what did they get wrong. There are 2 videos so I'll have a look at the fist to see if that's what you mean They are usually pretty good

They completely missed the controlling and abusive behaviour from him and assessed the situation as two people in a mutually volatile relationship. They didn’t really pick up on her obvious fear and the difference in their emotional states. There were a lot of comments at the time (so before her murder was discovered and with all the information the Behaviour Panel had) especially from women saying how they felt the panel had completely missed the mark. It’s very easy (as with shows like Faking It Tears of a Crime) to look at behaviour after all the facts are known and ascribe traits to interviews with full knowledge, but I’ve often wondered how these experts would fare when they don’t know the out come. This video kinda confirms that it’s far from a certain science and there’s a reason that it’s not evidential in courts. It can be interesting but I take it all with a huge grain of salt.

I've gone off Jesus a bit. He just seems to be playing to the gallery too often for my liking, using British swear words that just don't suit him and take away any gravitas he had but other people seem to lap it all up and that's fair enough, it just isn't for me at the mo. I'll no doubt enjoy some of his stuff in future but not right now.

@toastofthetown Thank you really interesting and totally right about it not being an exact science. I do think there's a lot of validity but not surety in behavioural science. I have done the eyes looking to the upper right and left when accessing certain memories etc with my friends and they all do it. Very funny
