In fact, the posture and movements of all parts of the human body are a coordinated whole, and the above three parts are only for convenience of explanation. When we analyze and decipher the meaning of human posture in real life, we must make a judgment on the basis of comprehensive observation.

The meaning of body posture is different.

Although the meanings of body gestures are of the same sex, due to the profound influence of national customs and cultural background, some body gestures, especially some gestures, may have different meanings in different countries and nationalities.

For example, stretch out a hand, the thumb and forefinger form a circle, and the other three fingers are straight or slightly bent. In our country, this gesture means zero or three when you reach out and count; Americans or British people use it to mean "OK", which means approval and greatness. In France, this gesture means zero or nothing; Say Thailand is no problem, go; In Japan, Myanmar and South Korea, it is expressed in money; In Tunisia, it means "fool"; In Brazil, it means insulting men and seducing women

The meaning of posture is ambiguous and ambiguous.

Any expression, gesture and action of a person, no matter where in the body, can convey some information and express some emotions. But this does not mean that the meanings of expressions, gestures and actions are certain and unchangeable under any circumstances. Therefore, to correctly understand the meaning of an individual's posture, it is necessary to contact other information sent by the communication object.

1, the meaning of a gesture needs to be related to the whole gesture performance.

During the conversation, if one side leans forward slightly, is it attracted by the other side's words, or is it impatient and wants to end the conversation? ? It's hard to say from this action alone. If we combine a series of movements, facial expressions and body postures, it is not difficult to see his real motivation. If he has just changed his posture with his arms crossed on his chest, his body leaning up and down, his expression calm and his eyes focused, then this is a signal of interest and attraction; If his eyes are fixed on other places and his hands are clamped on the edge of the chair seat, he seems ready to stand up and lean forward at any time. This is a signal that he is tired and wants to stand up and leave.

Therefore, to get the exact meaning of a certain posture, it is necessary to relate to the whole posture performance. Of course, if you want to use posture effectively, you should also pay attention to combining all posture signals into an organic and harmonious whole.

2. The meaning of personal posture needs to be associated with audio language.

Body posture and vocal language are closely coordinated, so the meaning of many body postures can be judged by contacting vocal language. The same is the action of rubbing hands. If you say, "Come on, let's get started!" "This is a' rubbing hands' before work, which is refreshing; If the salesman rubs his hands and says to the manager, "We have made a good deal again!" " "This is looking forward to praise and reward; In a foreign restaurant, the waiter came to the table, rubbed his hands and asked, "Would you like something else to drink, sir?" This is a hint of expecting a tip. It can be seen that the same gesture expression has different meanings because of different words.

With the cooperation of audio language, we can figure out the clear meaning of body posture information more accurately.

3. The meaning of personal posture should be related to the specific situation.

The specific situation here refers to a certain time, occasion, scene and the objects involved. If a person sits in a chair with his arms crossed, his legs crossed, his head lowered and his whole body contracted, it is difficult for us to judge its meaning just by this gesture. But if this person is sitting in a car with a cold wind, it is obviously a defensive posture taken because of the cold weather; If you are in the waiting room in the middle of the night, you can conclude that you are dozing off because of fatigue; If this person is talking to the person across the table, his attitude shows that he has a negative and negative attitude towards this conversation.

Only by connecting with specific situations can we effectively determine the meaning of body posture.
