Best Functionalities of Non-verbal Body Language.
here are some body language functionalities which makes you to understand about body language more clearly.
1. Affirms
1. Affirms
This is where somebody’s body language confirms or
emphasizes what they are saying. For example, if someone says they are bored,
adding in a ‘sigh’ really shows or confirms that they are bored. More examples
might be when someone talks about something exciting happening and they jump up
and down or when they talk about something really funny and they grin or laugh
out loud. Affirming non-verbals validates what they are saying as real.
2.
Contradict
Opposite of reinforcing or confirming a non-verbal is
when somebody’s verbal statements and behaviors are in contradiction. For
example, when someone says they are fine, but they are frowning or crying. More
examples are when someone says they are happy, but they say it with a neutral
face or when someone tease another person but smiles.
3.
Substitution
Sometimes, someone may not say anything and communicate a
lot through non-verbals. For example, they may be silent when you ask them how
their day went. The silence is the non-verbal meaning to tell you that their
day didn’t go so well, that they don’t really want to talk about it, or that
something else is going on for them. Other examples are like non-verbal signs
such as the thumps up, thumps down, or hand waving where you don’t really need
to say anything and the message is clear.
4. Complementing
This is sort of similar to ‘affirming non-verbals,’ but
the difference is that they not only validate what someone says, but add
another message on top of that. For example, when someone says they are upset
about something and punches or slaps the table, they are saying that they are
also really angry.
5.
Accenting
This is sort of similar to ‘affirming non-verbals’ as
well except it’s really used to reinforce or increase the intensity of an
expressed emotion. For example, when little kids cry louder and louder to show
that they are really upset or in pain.
