Body language is a form of mental and physical ability of human non-verbal communication,which consists of body posture,gestures,facial expressions,and eye movements.Humans send and interpret such signals almost entirely subconsciously.
James Borg states that human communication consists of 93 percent body language and paralinguistic cues,while only 7% of communication consists of words themselves;[1] however,Albert Mehrabian,the researcher whose 1960s work is the source of these statistics,has stated that this is a misunderstanding of the findings[2] (see Misinterpretation of Mehrabian's rule).Others assert that "Research has suggested that between 60 and 70 percent of all meaning is derived from nonverbal behavior."[3]
Body language may provide clues as to the attitude or state of mind of a person.For example,it may indicate aggression,attentiveness,boredom,relaxed state,pleasure,amusement,and intoxication,among many other cues.
Understanding body language
The technique of "reading" people is used frequently.For example,the idea of mirroring body language to put people at ease is commonly used in interviews.Mirroring the body language of someone else indicates that they are understood.[citation needed] It is important to note that some indicators of emotion (e.g.smiling/laughing when happy,frowning/crying when sad) are largely universal;[citation needed],[4] however in the 1990s Paul Ekman expanded his list of basic emotions,including a range of positive and negative emotions,not all of which are encoded in facial muscles.[13] The newly included emotions are:

Body language signals may have a goal other than communication.People would keep both these two in mind.Observers limit the weight they place on non-verbal cues.Signalers clarify their signals to indicate the biological origin of their actions.Examples would include yawning (sleepiness),showing lack of interest (sexual interest/survival interest),attempts to change the topic (fight or flight drivers).
