Body languagerefers to various

forms ofnonverbal communication, where in a
person may reveal clues as to some unspoken
intention or feeling through their physical
behavior.
These behaviors include facial
expressions, body posture,gestures, eye
movement, touch and the use of space.
Body language exists in
bothanimals and humans, but this article
focuses on interpretations of human body
language. It is also known askinesics.

BODY POSTURES
Emotions can also be detected
through body postures. Research has shown
that body postures are more accurately
recognized when an emotion is compared with a
different or neutral emotion.
For example, a person feeling angry would
portray dominance over the other, and his/her
posture displays approach tendencies.

FACIAL EXPRESSIONS
Facial expression is integral
when expressing emotions through the body.
Combinations of eyes, eyebrow, lips and cheek
movements help form different moods of an
individual (e.g. happy, sad, depressed, angry,
etc.)

HANDSHAKES
Handshakes are regular
greeting rituals and are commonly done
on
meeting,
greeting,
offering
congratulations or after the completion
of an agreement.
They usually indicate the level
of confidence and emotion level in
people.
e.g. the finger squeeze, the bone crusher
(shaking hands too strongly), the limp
fish (shaking hands too weakly), etc.

GESTURERS
Gestures are movements
made with body parts (e.g. hands, arms,
fingers, head, legs) and they may be
voluntary or involuntary.
Arm gestures can be
interpreted in several ways. In a discussion,
when one stands or sits with folded arms,
this is normally not a welcoming gesture. It
could mean that he/she has a closed mind
and is most likely unwilling to listen to the
speakers viewpoint.
