In her first interview after withdrawaling her name from consideration for the next U.S. Secretary of State, Susan Rice voiced her concern that she did not want her confirmation to be a distraction or disruptive from more important matters the country faces.
From a body language stand point, Ambassador Rice's rate of blinking is increased over normal at times during this short video segment. This is a nonverbal signal of generalized increased anxiety. When evaluating blinking frequency it's important to compare the times in question of expected anxiety - to other more routine, mundane and typically non-nervous periods. By itself, an increased blink rate does not indicate deception. She did not display any other body language-facial displays consistent with anxiety or lying. Thus, during this interview, Susan Rice's sincerity quotient is high.
