What we say is often not what we feel or think. 'It's how you looked when you said it, not what you actually said'. Our facial expressions, gestures, volume, tone and speed of speech reveal hidden meanings. Body language is a form of communication. 'Researchers at Harvard University showed women are far more accurate in decoding body language than men. Women have between fourteen and sixteen areas of the brain to evaluate other's behaviour versus a man's four to six areas'. (Pease, A. & Pease, B. 2005).
The study of body movement and expression is known as kinesics.
