Body Language
Charles Darwin 1873 “ The expression of the emotions in man and animals”
Desmond Morris 1967 “ The naked ape”
Lie detectors monitor pitch, pauses and pace in speech
Thin slices of behaviour – student/teacher assessments. The shorter the time the better the assessment – 6 second silent video clip
Clothes affect both wearer and observer – get the shoes
CICEROI turn pale at the outset of a speech and quake in every limb and in all my
soul
Why?
The fight or flight response!
We leak emotions
Blushing
Sweating
Changes in breathing
Pupil Dilation
Verbal vocal and visual cues – incongruence
Best taken together and when the reader is not taking part in the interaction – an observer in a negotiation
Be accepting of everything to raise other people’s status
Head slightly tilted
Gentle smile
Hands at waist height
