Secrets of body language
Humans can communicate volumes without ever opening their mouths, all through the amazing power of body language.
John Borg attests that human communication consists of 93 percent body language and paralinguistic cues, while only 7% of communication consists of words themselves.
Body language may provide clues as to the attitude or state of mind of a person. For example, it may indicate aggression, attentiveness, boredom, relaxed state, pleasure, amusement, and intoxication, among many other cues.
When you can read body language, every moment you spend with others can be valuable. In business, every moment you spend with others can be profitable.
Albert Mehrabian, the researcher whose 1960s work is the source of these statistics, has stated that this is a misunderstanding of the findings.
Others assert that research has suggested that between 60 and 70 percent of all meaning is derived from nonverbal behavior.
Delve into the science of non-verbal signals as this very visual and highly entertaining expose reveals the hidden language in which 93% of human communication takes place.
From President Franklin D. Roosevelt, to British Prime Minister Winston Churchill and 2008 presidential hopefuls Senators Barack Obama and John McCain, see how both politicians and celebrities use the subtle movements of body language to persuade masses, establish power, and advance careers.
Dr. Paul Eckman studied whether there were universal expressions that crossed cultural boundaries. He found that there are 7 universal facial expressions:
Happiness, 2) Sadness, 3) Anger, 4) Fear, 5) Surprise, 6) Contempt, 7) Disgust There is great meaning behind who walks in a door first. In the Middle East, this has great
cultural significance. Having the “upper hand” implies dominance. Grabbing by the elbow can show who is the leader. To unlock the secrets of body language, experts rely on an analytical system called “norming.”
Norming analyzes body language in contrast to how a person responds normally to situations.
