Interesting Body Language Facts you Don't Expect
The interesting and amazing language to study the human
behaviour is body language. A research was held at the University of
Pennsylvania to determine to what extent a person's body language can affect
the impression people form of him. The shocking result the research came up
with is that body language was found to be more responsible for the impression
people form of you than your words.
Here
are some Details about Body language:
55 percent of the impression people form of you is based
on your postures , body movements and gestures
38 percent was based on the tone of your voice (tempo and
frequency).
Only 7 percent was based on what you say.
This means that a total of 93 percent of the impression
people form of you is determined by your body language (which includes both
Body gestures and voice tone) while only 7 percent is based on the words you
say.
In other words this means that if you learned how to read
body language you will be able to interpret people's emotions with 93%
accuracy.
Why
reading body language makes a lot of sense
Lots of people find it hard to believe that reading body
language can tell them about 93% of the real intentions of the people they are
dealing with but when you put in mind that there are liars, imposters,
dishonest people and people who don't know how to express their emotions out
there the results then make a lot of sense.
Let me give you another example that will show you that
depending on body language can be much accurate than depending on the words
people say. Lets suppose that you met a stranger who wears a horrible looking
shirt? will you tell him about your opinion? of course not.
Most people suppress their emotions and opinions because
of the rules their society forces them to follow and that's why their real
opinion is reflected in their body language.
Based on these facts we can conclude that learning how to
read body language will give you a deeper understanding of people and will help
you interpret many of the unconscious signals they send.
How
to read and interpret body language
Body language Researchers have succeeded in identifying a
large number of feelings and their corresponding postures.
Anyone with enough information can effectively read
people’s feelings through their body language. Learning how to interpret body
language is not a hard task; you just need to know the familiar postures in
body language and their associated emotional states then link them together.
Why
its useful to read body language
Body language is now widely used in politics,
investigations (where the suspect’s body language is analyzed), sales,
negotiations and any other field where there is direct communication between
people.
Body language is not only used in understanding the emotional
states of others but it can also help you leave the impression you want. For
example by using proper body language you can appear confident even if you were
anxious or afraid.
