Abstract
Objective: Emotional body language (EBL) consists of an emotion expressed in the whole body, comprising coordinated movements and often a meaningful action. Humans are especially sensitive to EBL and use these signals as guides for their own behavior. Thus fearful faces signal a threat, but do not provide information about either the source of the threat or the best way to deal with it. By contrast, fearful body positions signal a threat and at the same time specify the action undertaken by the individuals fearing for their safety. EBL represents forms of non-verbal communication used instead of or in combination with verbal communication. EBL is used to express a variety of feelings and thoughts, from contempt and hostility to approval and affection. Some ethnic groups use EBL more than others, and the amount of EBL that is considered culturally acceptable varies from one location to the next.
