Today I am going to talk about a very interesting matter, the study of the Body Language.
The study of the Body Language is also known as “Kinesics”, and study the non-verbal part of the human communication.
The study of the Body Language is also known as “Kinesics”, and study the non-verbal part of the human communication.
The mains topics from this study are:
- The postures
- The gestures and facial expressions
- The proxemics
- The looks (eye contact)
Each one of these topics is a very extensive area to study. Today exist a TV series called “Lie to me” that is inspired in the work of the psychologist Paul Ekman, and he is consider one of the 100 hundred psychologist more important from the XX century. Paul Ekman is a specialist in the study from the facial expressions and the relation with the emotions. He said that some expressions are universal in the humanity, not a cultural thing. Another studious from the gestures is the anthropologist Ray Birdwhistell.
Since a few months I have studied this theme, and is have been very useful to me and I learned very interest things. Now can I (to?) say that is possible to me “know” how is the personality of someone broadly speaking, with only speak a few minutes with the person. Is very useful too, know that exist some gesture to indicate when someone fells attraction from me (or anyone), but I am not going to write about this gesture because I don’t have many word to write hahaha.
Hi Pablo... This topic is very interesting, I like so much and I read a few about it. For us the psicologist, the body language is very important, because in a psicological interview the patients "say" many things whit their expresions more that their words.
ReplyDeleteThe picture that you choose i like so much too, because I love Roger Federer!...
See you...
Hi
ReplyDeleteHow are you? I think that it’s really interesting what you “speak”. I know the series “Lie to me” and it looks very great, but because of that you have written I’ll watch it someday. It’s amazing how our “Body Language” can say a lot of thing about the person, because sometimes, although we didn’t realize all the gesture that we do in daily life, the people can read all our personality or all that we feel, only with our hands, our face or only of the position of our body. The discipline is really interesting; perhaps someday I’ll write about that.
See you!
