Comparison Of Frowning, Arms Passed And Terse Speech

Body movement and posture – the way in which people walk, move their hands or even cross their legs can send a message about how they are feeling. When people sit with their arms crossed can mean that they are not taking any notice or that they disagree with you. Leaning back or to the side can show people that they are relaxed or even bored. If you are leaning forward, that can show people that you are interested or that you are showing sympathy or concern. When being face to face with someone that can send the message of being angry.

While verbally communicating that he agrees with her and he will make changes, the female reaches her hand out and holds his, further seeking comfort now that the argument has been settled.

My initial goal for observations was to see how peoples body language changed when they saw someone knew, however, on my first day of observations I am noticing that most people walk with their phones in their hands. When people are looking around, and they don’t see someone they know, they are often walking with their heads down, while looking down at their phones, or simply talking on their phones. The people that are talking on their phones, have a comfortable body language and tone. On the other hand, I am noticing two different types of people looking on their phones. Ones who are just scrolling down their emails or social media, constantly looking for something new, and ones who constantly pressing the home bottom looking at an empty screen.

Open hands typically indicate honesty. During an honest story our hand gestures increases helping us tell the story. Hiding are hands can indicate nervousness or deceit. When we lie we typically rehearse the words or lay the lie out in our minds. We don’t typically rehearse the body language. That causes our hand gestures to diminish. Also our hand gestures can disappear when we are nervous. Talking to a superior or public speaking are good examples of this. We use our arms as natural barriers to protect ourselves when we feel threatened or defensive. Just like the legs, when we cross our arms we close our minds.
