Introduction

Before You Get Started Reading

I have a VERY important message that you MUST READ!

I promise you its not spam and Im not trying to sell you anything!

Most people have heard of body language, but fewer have heard of the term 'kinesics'. Kinesics is the fancy psychological term for body language and is technically defined as the study of facial expressions and gestures.

The basis of kinesics is simple; movement, expression and gesture are all part of communication. They can convey meaning and intent in order to understand other people better. Kinesics is still a nascent science you won't suddenly become a Machiavellian mind reader by studying it. However, you will start to, on occasion, read and interpret the people around you more successfully by being mindful of small cues such as body posture to understand what other people may be feeling.

The allure of kinesics is in it's hidden power. We like to be in control of our own actions and how we present ourselves to other people. The notion that our own body language can betray what we are saying, or that we can pick up on the duplicity of other people is intoxicating.

This is especially true in the workplace or unfamiliar social settings. We all want to give the impression of confidence, calmness and competence but sometimes our body language may undermine us. If you've ever walked away from an interview wondering why you didn't get that job you wanted, or why people don't seem to take to you as quickly as they should, your failure may be due to poor understanding of kinesics. This book aims to solve that!

There are six chapters in this book. The first chapter will take you through the basics of kinesics, informing you about how body language is categorized.

The second chapter will take you through other categorizations of body language that you might hear on occasion, such as haptics and paralanguage.

The third chapter will teach you how to improve your non-verbal communication, by managing stress and being mindful of body language-verbal inconsistencies and much more.

The fourth chapter will help you get to grips with how to make a good first impression and the psychological factors that influence how you are perceived on first appearance.

The fifth chapter will give you a small introduction to some of the cultural differences in body language and the interpretation of gestures.

Finally the sixth chapter will go into depth about an array of body language habits that people regularly display and how you should interpret them.

By the time you have read this book you should have a thorough understanding of the basis of body language, to help you improve and flourish in your relationships with other people.

The Basics of Kinesics

Body language, or kinesics as it is technically referred to, has been separated into five categories by social scientists. In this chapter learn about each of these five categories in turn.

Emblems

Emblems are signals that are 'concrete' and have a defined meaning in a certain culture or context. A thumbs up gesture is understood to communicate that everything is ok or that something went well.

Bear in mind that emblems are culturally sensitive however and that different regions in the world will have different meanings for the same emblems (covered in more detail in chapter 5).

Specific groups or subcultures may have their own emblems. It is not unusual for gangs or groups to develop their own emblems as a welcoming gestures or to show who is a member of the in-group. Think back to your school days it is likely that you either had one of these emblems yourself or knew someone that did.

Alternatively people develop their own signals to communicate in social situations without other people understanding such as secret 'sign language' or codes that children might use in school during lessons to not get the attention of the teachers.

Illustrators

Illustrators are gestures and movements that help convey and exaggerate what a person is saying. People commonly use illustrators when they are trying to describe something, moving their hands to signal shape, size or direction. Illustrators can also include pointing.

Bear in mind that illustrators are less consciously controlled than emblems. However, this nature can be used to help make inferences about other people. If someone is making a vast display with illustrators this often means they are highly engaged, but they may not have a huge degree of conscientiousness about their actions.

Conversely, if someone isn't displaying any illustrators they may not be engaged in the conversation at all or may not be enjoying it.

Illustrators can also often betray our true intents. If we are trying to say one thing, but we actually think or feel differently than our illustrators are one of main ways our body language can undermine us, as they can signal something different. Inconsistency between illustrators and our verbal communication, at the very least gives the impression of insincerity.

A common illustrator is often is a karate chop motion onto one open palm. This shows assertiveness and forcefulness. If someone displays this illustrator they often strong believe what they are saying, or they have a slightly aggressive slant.

Similarly, showing or tensing the knuckles often symbols aggression or a desire to be aggressive.

Not all illustrators are aggressive however! A raised palm and wagging finger for example, is often very condescending and in poor taste. It is used to signal that someone has made a mishap or done something wrong, but in a childish or lowly way. This illustrator should almost never be used as it will immediately turn people away from you.

Likewise, holding a palm over your heart is another illustrator that you need to carefully consider before using. It can be interpreted in the sense that you are being emotional and that what you are saying or listening to is heartfelt.

However, it can also come across as incredibly sarcastic, especially when apologizing or saying something that should be taken as sincere.

It is important to recognize how illustrators can be interpreted, especially as they are non-conscious you may be turning people away from you or giving signals that you didn't intend to give (although these may display non-conscious feelings).

A full list of illustrators is likely to be rather more extensive then this guide can cover. However, try and start recognizing them in your daily life and whether you frequently display them (or whether people around you do).

Affect Displays

In psychology, affect is a term used that means emotion. Hence, affect displays are emotional displays movements that confer an emotional meaning.

This includes expressions, but also other aspects of kinesics. We tend to interpret people who are slouched or clinging to their own body with their arms as lacking in confidence or sad. Conversely, people who walk with a spring in their step or who bounce and are quite bodily animated when they talk as being happy. These are both examples of affect displays. Affect displays are often rather uncontrolled and spontaneous as compared to emblems, which are used deliberately.
