Body Language

Caroline Podraza

Non-Verbal Communication

Truth vs. Lie

“The hand covers the mouth…subconsciously…to suppress the deceitful words that are being said.”

Public Speaking

“…control their body language in order to improve their communication skills.”

Intimate Zone Personal Zone

Social Zone Public Zone

Mirroring

“…discussing a topic on which they have similar thoughts and feelings.”

Eye Signals

“The pupils will increase in size and dilate upon viewing something visually pleasing.”

“…hand signal that to the American culture means “OK” can be extremely offensive to cultures in the Mediterranean region, Russia, Brazil, and Turkey, who take the signal as a sexual insult.”

Barriers

“Crossed-Arms-On-Chest…defensive or negative meaning almost everywhere.”

“…avoid being seen as aggressive, we stand with our bodies angled at forty-five degrees to each other during friendly encounters to form an angle of ninety degrees."

So what does this all mean??
