These are dominance: ‘This person is trying to dominate me. I’d better be cautious’, submission: ‘I can dominate this person. He will do as I wish’, and equality: ‘I like this person. We will get on well together’. Your company sloganYour company slogan2））Hand & Arm GesturesØ Rubbing the palms together ①①　　Rubbing the palms together is a way in which people non-verbally communicate positive expectation. ②② The speed at which a person rubs his palms together signals whom he thinks will receive the positive results that are expected. ③③Warning Your company sloganYour company sloganØ Thumb and Finger Rub It is commonly used as a money expectancy gesture. Ø Hands Clenched Together ①①　　This seems to be a confidence gesture as some people who use it are often smiling and sound happy. ②②　　On some particular occasions, this was a frustration gesture, signalling that the person was holding back a negative attitude. The gesture has three main positions; hands clenched in front of the face, (Figure 39), hands resting on the desk (Figure 40) or on the lap when seated and placed in front of the crotch when standing (Figure 41).Your company sloganYour company sloganØ Steepling Hands The gesture has two versions; the raised steeple (Figure 42), the position normally taken when the steepler is giving his opinions or ideas and is doing the talking. The lowered steeple gesture (Figure 43) is normally used when the steepler is listening rather than speaking. Your company sloganYour company slogan3））Hand-to-face gesturesØ The Mouth Guard ①The hand covers the mouth and the thumb is pressed against the cheek as the brain sub-consciously instructs it to try and suppress the deceitful words that are being said. ②Many people try to disguise the mouth guard gesture by giving a fake cough. ③If the person who is speaking uses this gesture, it indicates that he is telling a lie. If, however, he covers his mouth while you are speaking, it indicates that he feels you are lying!Your company sloganYour company sloganØ Nose Touching In essence, the nose touch gesture is a sophisticated, disguised version of the mouth guard gesture. It may consist of several light rubs below the nose or it may be one quick, almost imperceptible touch. Some women perform this gesture with small discreet strokes to avoid smudging their make-up. Your company sloganYour company sloganØ The Neck Scratch This gesture is a signal of doubt or uncertainty and is characteristic of the person who says, ‘I’m not sure I agree.’ØThe Collar Pull It is also used when a person is feeling angry or frustrated and needs to pull the collar away from his neck in an attempt to let the cool air circulate around it. Your company sloganYour company slogan5)Arm barriersv Hiding behind a barrier is a normal human response that we learn at an early age to protect ourselves. ØStandard Arm-Cross Gesture ①The standard arm-cross gesture (Figure 70) is a universal gesture signifying the same defensive or negative attitude almost everywhere. It is commonly seen when a person is among strangers in public meetings, queues, cafeterias, elevators or anywhere that people feel uncertain or insecure. ②A simple but effective method of breaking the folded-arms position is to hand the person a pen, a book or something that forces him to unfold his arms to reach forward.vAnother useful method is to lean forward with your palms facing up and say, ‘I can see you have a question, what would you like to know?’ or, ‘What do you think?’ and then sit back to indicate that it is the other person’s turn to speak.Your company sloganYour company sloganvLeg barriersv CROSSED-LEG GESTURES Like arm barrier gestures, crossed legs are a signal that a negative or defensive attitude may exist.Your company sloganYour company slogan7)Other popular gestures and actions7)Other popular gestures and actions①①　　①①The shoulder shrug is also a good example of a universal gesture that is used to show that a person does not know or understand what you are talking about.
