Just as the basis of speech is the sound made by vocal cords, the basis of body language expression is the movement of the body. Our bodies are always moving, which leads to all kinds of sports. These actions include obvious, such as waving and moving; Many of them are too small to be found, such as rapid heartbeat and fingertip jitter. A large number of studies show that body language is not only derived from innate genes, but also closely related to acquired learning!
German scientists Abel and ekman, by studying apes and monkeys with similar feelings to humans, found that heredity or inborn is an important way for people to acquire body language. For example, when many primates are born, they will take the initiative to approach their mothers and suck their nipples with their small mouths. Obviously, this "sucking" action is innate; The smile on the face of congenital blind children is a kind of inheritance, because in the dark world, they have neither the object to imitate the smile nor the channel to learn the bright smile.
Of course, learning the day after tomorrow is also the key to the formation of body language, such as shaking hands and waving goodbye, which are obtained through learning the day after tomorrow. When people are familiar with the meaning of these behaviors, they will gradually form a habit and apply it to their daily life. Over time, in different situations, they will habitually make corresponding body movements, but they don't realize it.
Through the analysis, statistics and induction of human actions by scientists, the human actions are finally divided into four categories-avoiding harm, body recovery, special symbolic actions and self-comforting actions. These four behaviors are like phrases and paragraphs in our speech. By explaining them, we can get the information we want faster.
