Basically this is referred to as ‘Body Language’. It’s most important aspect of face to face communication.
Body language is vital form communication as it provides a better communication. Body language includes gesture, posture, body movement and eye contact. Most of the times this happens without our conscious.
Various gesture conveys different meanings. For example spread arms symbolise confidence and happiness. Closed fist can express anger or strength. Crossing arms shows a defensive thought of a person. Rubbing of palm, neck symbolise pacificational action which is usual done when a person is lying or scared. Avoiding eye contact symbolises a low confidence level.
Every day we respond to thousands of non verbal cues and behaviors. And Communication would have been incomplete without body language.
