How to read body language


6/12


Up to 93 % of communication is non-verbal. Including tone of voice, eye movement,

posture, hand gestures, facial expressions and more. The pressure of body language can

especially be felt in emotional situations. Body language usually prevails over words. Are you

good at reading body language?

The eyes communicate more than any other part of the human anatomy. Staring or

gazing at others cancreate pressure and tension in the room. Gangs have fought over the

way someone looked at them. Researcher suggests that individuals who can routinely out

gaze another develop a sense ofcontrol and power over others not so inclined. Maintained

eye contact can show if a person is trustworthy, sincere or caring. Shifty eyes, too muchblinking can suggest deception. People with eye movements that are relaxed and comfortable

yet attentive to the person they are conversing with are seen as more sincere and honest.

Eyebrow muscle draws the eyebrows down and toward the center of the face if someone is

annoyed. If someone is empathetic and caring during dialogue the eyebrows willnot show the

annoyed facial grimace.

The smile: There are 50 or so different types ofhuman smiles. By analyzing the

movements of over 80 facial muscles involved in smiling, researchers can tell when a smile is

true. Look for the crinkle in the skin at the middle, outside corner of the eyes and if it is not

there, the smile is probably fake. Authentic smiles are smiles that "crest" or change rapidly

from a small facial movement to a broad open expression.

Bodily cues are the most reliable of all nonverbal signals of deception to help you read

body language. This is because a person generally has less conscious control over these than

other signals. (Springer, 1996; Ekman & Friesen, 1974). Hand-to-face gestures and shrugs

are strong markers of deception. Playing with or touching things nearby during conversations

has been found to be associated with deception (Cody & O'Hair, 1983). Deceivers also are

likely to have increased illustrator activity--quick and animated use of hands/arms during

speech.

Vocal cues can predict deception. More and lengthier pauses during conversation; a lot of

such sounds as "uh," "um," word repetitions; intruding sounds not part of the actual speech,less lengthy answers or explanations where they would be expected to be.

Space is important. Personal space is needed and if it is invaded intentionally and at

times by oversight can cause an individual to feel uncomfortable or threatened.

Studies have shown that individuals that do not respect others space are less popular and

often rejected by others.

Gestures communicate. Hand signals can communicate without the use of any speech. Touching communicates. Touching can be friendly or it can be aggressive.

The way a person stands reflects their level ofconfidence and comfort level. If a person

stands tall so to speak they are seen as more confident. If someone is standing with their

hands on their hips that can indicate aggression or alertness. See our recommended reading

list on body language and gestures.When you interact socially develop your listening and observations skills. The above are a

guide for looking for the clues to deception they are not fool proof.

Watch your body language. Avoid shifting eyes and head quickly during conversation when

someone asks you a question. Do not look down or to the side. Look directly at the person

with a sense ofconfidence but not overbearing or threatening innature. See article Body

Language - Is yours turning people away?

Note: If you want to win someone over a good rule of thumb is to mirror his or her body

language. Read their body language and follow their lead.
