Engels presentatie:
I would like to inform you on the ted-talk topic how body language shapes who
you are, because the subject really appeals to me. I myself have difficultly
standing in front of a class and i thougt that this topic could help me and some
of you.
I want to ask you to right now do a little audit of your body and what you are
doing with your body. so how many of you are sort of making yourselves
smaller? Maybe your legs are crossing. Sometimes we spread out. So i want
you to pay attention to what you are doing right now. I hope after this that you
learn to tweak this a little bit, because it can have a positive effect.
So, we are interested in other people’s body language, something like a smile
or a akward wing, maybe a handshake. Social scientists have spent a lot of time
looking at the effects of our body language or other people’s body language.
And we make sweeping judgements and inferences from body language.
What are non-verbal expressions of power and dominance? Well, you make
yourself big, you stretch out, you take up the space, your basically opening up.
when you cross the finish line and you have won, you do youre arms up in the
V, your chin is slightly lifted and you are happy.
But when we feel powerless, we do the opposite. We close up, we wrap
ourselves up, we make ourselves small. Animals are doing the same thing.
In this class we have some who are like alphas, they really coming into the
room, they right into the middle of the room before class even starts. When
they sit down, they’re sort of spread out. They rais their hand like this
You have other people in this class who are virtually collapsing when they come
in. As soon as they come in, you see it. you see it on their faces and their bodys.
They sit in their chair and they make themselves tiny, and they go like this
When their hand raises.
It seems to be related to gender, women are more likely to do this
And men are doing like this.
