Some cultures might display more intimacy than others, such as through hugs and physical touch. If you aren\u2019t aware of this context and come from a culture where this isn\u2019t the case, you might interpret this tendency as overly familiar or indicative of a lack of personal boundaries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>Differences in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/power-of-nonverbal-communication\/\">Nonverbal Communication<\/a> Across Cultures<\/strong><br><br>Several categories of body language often differ between cultures. Understanding these differences can help you avoid offending people from cultures different from your own. It may also help you understand why someone is displaying body language contrary to what you expect. <a href=\"https:\/\/virtualspeech.com\/blog\/cultural-differences-in-body-language\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Here are a couple of the most prominent cultural variations:<\/a><br><br><strong>1. Level of eye contact.<\/strong> Conventions around eye contact differ widely between parts of the world. In Western countries, maintaining eye contact typically indicates confidence, respect, and interest\u2014it\u2019s viewed positively. However, in many Asian, Latin American, African, and North American Indigenous cultures, holding eye contact may be seen as adversarial or hostile. Additionally, people from those cultures may consider holding eye contact with elders and superiors rude.<br><br><strong>2. Variation in hand gestures.<\/strong> The meaning of some communicative hand gestures also varies widely. Some gestures express a benign message in one culture but are highly offensive in another. For example, people use the thumbs-up sign in most of Europe and North America as an affirmative or an indicator that someone\u2019s doing a good job. However, in the Middle East and Greece, it\u2019s an insulting gesture of rejection or contempt.&nbsp;<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-to-read-body-language-with-cultural-awareness\">How to Read Body Language With Cultural Awareness<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/app\/book\/the-dictionary-of-body-language\/1-page-summary\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">The Dictionary of Body Language<\/a>, former FBI agent Joe Navarro states that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/app\/book\/the-dictionary-of-body-language\/1-page-summary#tip-1-determine-whats-abnormal-on-an-individual-basis\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">when you\u2019re interpreting body language cues,<\/a> it\u2019s important to <strong>consider whether the action is ordinary or unusual for the person doing it<\/strong>. Culture is a big influence, as well as personality type and neurodivergence, which can influence how someone communicates nonverbally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Personality:<\/strong> Someone who\u2019s shy might naturally have more nervous or withdrawn body language compared to someone more outgoing.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Neurodivergence:<\/strong> You might interpret someone rocking their upper body back and forth as a sign of psychological distress. However, someone who\u2019s neurodivergent may rock back and forth as a form of habitual <a href=\"https:\/\/www.healthline.com\/health\/autism\/stimming#control\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">self-stimulatory behavior (or \u201cstimming<\/a>\u201d), which doesn\u2019t necessarily indicate that they\u2019re upset.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In The Laws of Human Nature, Greene also warns not to<strong> <\/strong>universally assign cues to certain emotions: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/app\/book\/the-laws-of-human-nature\/part-2#skill-1-observation\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Different people may use the same nonverbal cue to express different emotions.<\/a> For example, one person may speak louder when they\u2019re excited; another may do so when they\u2019re upset.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-exercise-examine-how-you-use-body-language\">Exercise: Examine How You Use Body Language<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Now that we\u2019ve discussed cultural context for body language, think about how it affects your own communication with others.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>What\u2019s one personal context that affects your body language? (For example, maybe you grew up in a culture where it\u2019s normal to hug people every time you greet them. Or, maybe you\u2019re naturally shy, so you tend to have closed-off body language in public spaces.)<\/li><li>How might this context affect how other people perceive you? (For example, some people might feel happy and comforted when you hug them, but others might find this gesture overly familiar. If people see closed-off body language, they may think you\u2019re standoffish because they don\u2019t know you\u2019re shy.)<\/li><li>Name one body language cue you\u2019d like to use more to show people you\u2019re open to friendship. Why did you choose this cue? (For example, maybe you want to smile warmly when you meet people so they feel welcome. Or, maybe you want to stand up straighter so people think you\u2019re confident and want to approach you.)<\/li><\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How can we understand body language across cultures?
