Body language is of nonverbal communication in which physical behaviours, as opposed to words, are used to express or convey information. Such action includes facial expressions, body posture, gestures, eye movement, touch and the use of space. Body language is in both animals and humans, but this course also focuses on interpretations of human body language. It is also known as kinesics.

Body language must not be mixed with sign language, assign languages are full languages like spoken languages and have their complex grammar systems, as well as being able to show the basic properties that exist in all languages. On the other hand, Body language does not have a grammar order and must be construed broadly, instead of having an absolute definition corresponding with a particular movement, so it’s not a language like sign language and is termed as a “language” due to popular culture.

In a community, there are agreed-upon ideas of a particular behaviour. Definitions may vary from country to country, or from culture to culture. As a result, there is controversy about whether body language is common. Body language is a subset of nonverbal communication, complements verbal communication in social communication. Researchers conclude that nonverbal communication estimates for the bulk of information transferred during interpersonal interactions. It also helps to establish the relationship between two people and regulates interaction but can be ambiguous.

What are the 5 types of body language?

The solution to success in your personal and professional ties and connection rests on your abilities to communicate efficiently well. It is not the messages that you choose to deliver, but your nonverbal signs, aka “body language,” that is the most powerful. Body language is the practice of physical expressions, and mannerisms to interact non-verbally, frequently done instinctively rather than consciously.

Types Of Body Language:

• Facial expression
• Body movements and postures
• Gestures
• Eye contact
• Touch

Is Body Language Universal?

Unlike the seven universal facial expressions, body language at this time is not supposed to be universal across all humans. The analysis of body language can differ depending on the culture or country; each can have distinct signals or different meanings. However, if you have ever been in an interaction with a language barrier, you can most of the time, get your underlying message across just by moving your body! The interest in body language is primarily focused on the fact that much of the time, our body is unconsciously sending messages related to our internal states. You may tap your foot if nervously waiting for an essential interview, or clench your fists and jaw if angered. These signals can be picked up if you are trained to see them giving you the advantage of reading others body language. Awareness of body language can also assist you to control your own behaviours, ensuring you put out the correct message or stop you from giving away information that may put you at a loss.

3 Truths of Body Language

• The face is not the best place to start reading body language. – People have learned how to mask their true feelings by the time they are adults. E.g., having to get along with someone you do not get along within a social setting. Your true feelings will not show up on your face.
• Body language shows intent. – Brain research has shown that whatever we are feeling first shows up in our body and then into our conscious minds. To read body language is to learn to understand people’s intents and not their conscious thoughts.
• You are good at reading body language more than you realize. – Think about it. You can pick up cues when someone close to you is ticked off; if your child is bored or if your boss requires something to be done quickly. People that you know can deceive you but not for long.

 Why is non-verbal communication important?

Non-verbal signs can provide clues and further information and meaning over the above spoken (verbal) communication. Some estimates suggest around 70-80% of communication is non-verbal.

Non-verbal communication can help you:

• Reinforce or modify spoken words.
• Deliver information about someone’s emotional state.
• Reinforce relationships between people.
• Provide feedback to each other.
• Manage the flow of communication

 Why is positive body language important?

Body language is essential as it helps the person to be confident, which will help in assisting in placing their thoughts, feelings, and opinions forward more easily than the others. People tend to get cues from body language; this will help you convey your message garnering more attention and favor in any discussion.

 Can you fake body language?

Yes and no.

The vast majority of the general body language can be both practiced or learned. Keeping your hands out of your pockets or using your hands expressively to remain engaging and honest or keeping your hands away from the face can come off as more confident. This is easy to learn and practice which means it could be faked easily. However, a study revealed that there is a full new set of cues that are much more difficult to control, if not impossible.

• Standing On One Leg: This will reduce an overall positive first reaction as someone will think you do not care enough to be still.
• Curve Back: This might convey that there is a lack on interest, confidence or lack of motivation.

How do you make a good first impression on body language?

 Does body language always tells the truth?

Yes, body language always tells the truth. The problem is, what is it telling the truth about?

While we can consider the social protocols and reading the other person through body language, we need to consider the context. Lying isn’t the only thing that sets off body language. And the other question might be, what is that person hiding or uncomfortable within what they are saying or doing? People on the spectrum, for instance, are going to be uncomfortable with various things in a conversation and can often be thought of as a “liar” when people don’t realize the very use of social protocols is a lie for many on the spectrum.

 What is open body language?

Openness starts with the face. Their eyes are open wide and focused on you. Next, their torso is facing you rather than away. Their hands are open, palms are free, and they are faced towards you, and their body is exposed and not protected by their hands or arms.

Finally, look at the person’s legs and feet. Their feet can either be pointed toward you and not away from you.

 How do you read body language?

Body language can reveal what a person is thinking. We are able to tell by their eye behavior to the direction of where their feet are pointed to. Here are 3 (three) common cues.

• Study the eyes:  If a person looks away or has a hard time keeping eye contact, this can indicate boredom, disinterest, nervousness or submissiveness.
• Proximity: This refers to the distance that is between you and the other person. Seeing how close someone is standing or sitting next to you can help determine how they view you favorably.
• Their feet: While people are focused on managing their facial expressions, important clues can be revealed through their feet. Where their feet points is where they want to go.

 What do you call a person who can read body language?

Kinesics is the study of body motion communication. Birdwhistell defined kinesics as “the study of body‐motion as related to the non‐verbal aspects of interpersonal communication”. He believes body‐motion communication to be systemic, socially learned, and communicative behaviour unless proven otherwise.
