How confident are you that you can read body language<\/a> accurately? Do you know how to read cues collectively or just individually?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can use many body language cues to reliably and consistently assess someone\u2019s emotional state. But, retired FBI Special Agent Joe Navarro says that there are some contextual factors to consider before forming conclusions based on your observations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Read more to get an introduction to body language from Navarro by exploring two of his tips for assessing the context of cues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Tip #1: Determine What\u2019s \u201cAbnormal\u201d on an Individual Basis<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Navarro’s introduction to body language starts with determining a baseline of behavior for the person you’re interacting with. He states that, when you\u2019re observing many body language cues, it\u2019s important to consider whether the action is ordinary or unusual for the person doing it before ascribing any particular meaning to it. A cue that indicates a strong emotion for one person may just be a habitual behavior for another.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, sweating can be an indicator of high stress, but some people also just sweat more than others. Therefore, to accurately judge what it means if someone\u2019s sweating a lot, you\u2019d have to know what\u2019s normal for that person.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(Shortform note: If you sweat easily when you aren\u2019t stressed or exerting yourself, you may suffer from \u201cexcessive sweating,\u201d or hyperhidrosis.<\/a> A dermatologist can determine if your level of sweating is normal and help you treat it. To manage your symptoms, some experts suggest using an antiperspirant instead of deodorant and recording information<\/a> about your sweating in a journal to isolate your sweat triggers.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Create a \u201cMental Baseline\u201d of People\u2019s Behavior<\/strong>

In What Every BODY Is Saying<\/em><\/a>, Navarro argues that to skillfully observe the individualized nature of body language, you must make a mental record of a person\u2019s behaviors at the start of your interaction.<\/a> Take into account their physical appearance, hygiene, and behavior\u2014for instance, whether they\u2019re loose, relaxed, and well-groomed, or stiff, fidgety, and unkempt.

Additionally, consider the situation they\u2019re in. For example, you should expect someone at a job interview to show more nervous behavior than someone shopping at a grocery store.

This information provides a \u201cbaseline\u201d of the person\u2019s behavior\u2014in other words, a sense of what\u2019s \u201cnormal\u201d for them, both generally and in their specific current context. You can then measure future observations of their body language against this baseline to see if they\u2019re still behaving \u201cnormally\u201d for them.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Tip #2: Assess Body Language Cues Collectively<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Some body language cues may have multiple meanings. Therefore, Navarro suggests taking a person\u2019s whole body language into account before deciding what a particular cue means. The combination of cues will typically paint a clearer picture of someone\u2019s emotional state than an isolated one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, when someone smiles at another person, we typically perceive it as a cue of affection, kindness, or joy. However, a smile on its own doesn\u2019t present the whole picture. If the person is displaying signs of tension or discomfort as well\u2014if the muscles around their eyes are tense, their feet are pointed away from the person they\u2019re talking to, and so on\u2014then their smile may not represent true affection or friendliness, but forced<\/em> friendliness that hides discomfort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Social Importance of Reading Body Language<\/a> Cues Collectively<\/strong>

A possible danger of reading body language cues in isolation is misinterpreting someone else\u2019s true feelings. This can lead to miscommunications that leave people feeling awkward, uncomfortable, or even unsafe.<\/a>

For example, studies suggest that women often smile when they feel uncomfortable. However, some men interpret these smiles as signs of affection and make unwanted romantic advances, leading to women feeling unsafe. Considering additional body language cues, such as crossed arms, feet pointing away, or tension around the eyes might prevent this miscommunication.

Likewise, we may miss that someone is lying to us because we rely on the common assumption that liars avoid eye contact. One study found that people engaged in more eye contact when lying than telling the truth: Since eye contact is such a commonly known indicator of deceit, they overcompensated. Again, assessing a potential liar\u2019s other cues\u2014such as whether they\u2019re fidgeting or sweating<\/a>\u2014in tandem with their level of eye contact may give a clearer picture of their honesty.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
