Chapter 1, Problem 1.8AAC
Summary Introduction

To determine:

General impressions about the duration of eye contact, body posture, voice quality and other self-observations after recording one’s own presentation.

Introduction:

Body language is a combination of gesture, postures, movements, and expressions. One must use it to engage with the people around and try to understand them in a positive way. It is used to convey information without the use of words but rather speaking through actions. Behaviour is nothing but indirect unspoken words. Eyes, face, and body are carriers of nonverbal messages.
