Decoding Body Language - How body language influences communication

Decoding Body Language - How body language influences communication

In an earlier blog post, I stated that non-verbal and verbal elements of communication couldn’t be completely separated and isolated from the overall communication process.

This is one of the most interesting (and at times frustrating) aspects of studying communication because the potential variations and interactions are so numerous and so diverse that it can be challengingly hard to categorize them in a meaningful, definite way.

When you think solely about body language, reading body language, decoding body language, interpreting body language and how it influences communication, whether women body language or men body language, though, some basic features and functions emerge.

These fall into the following general categories:

· Repeating
· Conflicting
· Complementing
· Substituting
· Accenting/Moderating
· Regulating


Those are forbidding-sounding categories that come straight from the scientific and academic world. I'll explain those with some better ‘real world’ meaning with a few examples in my next blog post.
