Talk by Swansea University psychologist Dr Alex Jones with two Welsh contestants from the reality show The Traitors about deception and trust.
Confessions of a Traitor: The Psychology of Trust and Deception is at the National Waterfront Museum on Friday 30 October, timed for the eve of Halloween. It's part of the Swansea Science Festival, which runs across 30 and 31 October, and it takes the audience behind the scenes of the Welsh reality show The Traitors.
On stage are Fiona and Amanda, two Welsh contestants from the series, who'll be recounting how they deceived their fellow players. They're joined by Dr Alex Jones, a Swansea University psychologist and Associate Professor of Psychological Data Science. He'll be drawing on their real-life experiences and his own research to look at how people gain trust, maintain a convincing cover story and read the motives of others when the pressure is on.

Jones's work focuses on how we form impressions of people from their faces and why those impressions are so often wrong — a fit for a night about reading people and being misled. The session runs for 90 minutes, starting at 7pm, and tickets are £10 per person.
