If falsely accused, stay calm - not quiet

Across six studies, researchers explored how laypeople and experts make guilt judgments when the accused person is angry.

Professionals such as fraud investigators and auditors also rated an angry response as a sign of guilt and remaining silent as an indicator of guilt.
