Research done at The University of Pennsylvania determined to what extent a person's body language affected the impression people get of him/her. They discovered that whenever there was a change in a person's emotion, there was also a corresponding change in the gestures and tone of voice. The shocking results were that people build their impression of you based on:
- 55 percent gestures, posture and movements.
- 38 percent on the tone of your voice (tempo and frequency).
- Only 7 percent on what you actually say.
That is a total of 93% for body language(which comprises of bodily gestures and tone of voice) and only 7% on spoken words. That means that 93% of what you are communicating does not even come out of your mouth but rather through your body language.
How Reading Body Language is Useful to Me?
Researchers were successful in identifying a dictionary of feelings and their corresponding gestures. The result is that someone who has access to this information can know how other people are currently feeling based on any changes in their body language. But also change your own body language to subconsciously communicate the image that you want people to have of you.
Learning to read body language is not a hard task, you just need to know the famous body language gestures and their associated emotional states and then link them together when you see any of them somewhere.
Reading Body Language
Body language gestures, signals and postures can be read in groups or bundles, depending on the internal emotions and mental states. Recognizing a whole cluster is thus far more reliable than trying to interpret individual elements.
* Aggressive body language: Showing physical threat.
* Attentive body language: Showing real interest.
* Bored body language: Just not being interested.
* Closed body language: Many reasons are closed.
* Deceptive body language: Cover up lying or other deception.
* Defensive body language: Protecting self from attack.
* Dominant body language: Dominating others.
* Emotional body language: Identifying feelings.
* Evaluating body language: Judging and deciding something.
* Open body language: Many reasons for being open.
* Power body language: Demonstrating one's power.
* Ready body language: Wanting to act and waiting for the trigger.
* Relaxed body language: Comfortable and unstressed.
* Romantic body language: Showing attraction to others.
* Submissive body language: Showing you are prepared to give in.
