Reading body language like an expert – the science of non-verbal communication (full documentary)

Actions speak louder than words. In this documentary, experts discuss the signals we send without even realizing and explain how to decipher the signals others give us involuntarily. – Forensic Psychologist Dr. Stephen Porter describes how his team helped solve a murder case by detecting deceit in a witness's body language during a televised interview. – In Amsterdam, a pioneering company is developing technology that allows computers to identify a person's gender, ethnicity, and emotional expressions. – Harvard's Social Psychologist Amy Cuddy shares a fascinating insight: not only do our movements reflect our feelings, but altering our body language can also change our emotions. – Behavior Analyst Dr. Lillian Glass analyzes the communication skills of controversial figures such as Donald Trump, exploring what makes them effective communicators beyond political biases. ------- Chapters ▷ 00:00 – Intro ▷ 02:33 – Communicate through facial expressions ▷ 06:47 – Limbic system ▷ 09:30 – The body doesn't lie ▷ 14:54 – Decode: Face ▷ 18:44 – Detection by discomfort ▷ 23:55 – Behavior recognition ▷ 28:31 – Decode: Deception ▷ 34:53 – The way we walk ▷ 40:24 – Applications ▷ 44:16 – Teaching computers ▷ 47:48 – Conclusions ▷ 50:55 – Credits #psychology #bodylanguage #behaviour #documentary #fulldocumentaries #wocomoDOCS ------- Subscribe to wocomoDOCS: https://goo.gl/sBmGkp Follow us on Facebook:   / wocomo   ------- As human beings, our bodies communicate our inner emotions and feelings in ways that can often be easily seen by others, but at other times are barely visible. On every continent and in every ethnicity, expressions of emotions such as happiness, surprise, anger and fear are universally recognised. These expressions are hard-wired into our facial muscles for reasons that have everything to do with human evolution and survival of the species. To the trained observer, the way people move can be more revealing than the things people say. We all use our intuition when trying to understand another person’s intentions or needs. We watch the way they walk, and how they stand. We look for their eye-contact, and whether they appear comfortable or anxious. But when intuition is augmented by scientifically based observational techniques, the picture becomes much clearer. These techniques are increasingly being used in the worlds of law-enforcement, surveillance and security, as well as politics and commerce. Understanding the ‘non-verbals’ of the people we encounter gives us an edge that can mean the difference between a sale or no-sale, between an election victory or defeat, between safety and danger, and even between a successful or doomed relationship.
