Secrets of Body Language

Body language is a form of non-verbal communication, which consists of body posture, gestures, facial expressions, and eye movements. Humans send and interpret such signals almost entirely subconsciously.

John Borg attests that human communication consists of 93 percent body language and paralinguistic cues, while only 7% of communication consists of words themselves;[1] however, Albert Mehrabian, the researcher whose 1960s work is the source of these statistics, has stated that this is a misunderstanding of the findings[2] (see Misinterpretation of Mehrabian's rule). Others assert that "Research has suggested that between 60 and 70 percent of all meaning is derived from nonverbal behavior."[3]

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.

So all the politicians are just actors.

@zmallic Not alone, but yeah, it'll definitely help. Mirroring and being able to tell how people are feeling can only have a positive effect. Unless you're doing it wrong.

I don't need an expert to tell me that a politician is full of shit. It's understood. Professional liars.

@lightbrownpoop then that would be another variable that affects your judgement. if it's not cold, if there arms aren't tired, etc, etc, then they are uncomfortable or unreceptive. you have to figure it out

@AlekNovy it's not supposed to be exact, like it's some kind of theorem or formula for communication haha. generally speaking (no pun intended), the majority of face to face communication is dominated by body language, facial expression, and tone, and allows people to decipher the emotional state of others. if someone were speaking to you through a monotone voice changer and you were wearing a blindfold, it would be quite hard to truly communicate with them emotionally

I always love it when BillO'reilly brings in his "body language expert" after having been schooled by a liberal. He still ends up looking stupid.
