Dr. Morris on Postural echo’s…

Good stuff just keeps coming in this book.

When two friends meet and talk informally they usually adopt similar body postures. If they are particularly friendly and share the same attitude to the subject being discussed, then the position of their bodies are likely to become even more alike, to the point where they virtually become carbon copies of eachother.

“More surprising is the fact that they frequently synchronize their movements as they talk. When one uncrosses his legs, the other soon follows suit, and when one leans back a little, so does his companion.”

About disputing in group.

“If three of the group are disputing with the other four, the members of each sub-group will tend to match their body postures but keep distinct from the other sub-group. On occasion, it is even possible to predict that one of them is changing sides before he has declared his change of heart verbally, because his body will start to blend with the postures of the members of the opposing team.”

This stuff is soooooo cool…
Well I think it is!
