“…There has been a long history of studying nonverbal (behavioral) cues, going as far back as Darwin (1897) who examined the expression of emotions through facial cues and gestures. Numerous studies in this spirit focused on nonverbal cues and their relation to judgments of emotions and personality (e.g., Scherer, Scherer, Hall, & Rosenthal, 1977;Taft, 1955; for overviews of nonverbal communication and behavioral research see: Burgoon, Guerrero, & Floyd, 2010;Hall, Horgan, & Murphy, 2018;Harrigan, Rosenthal, & Scherer, 2005;Manusov, 2004). Nonverbal cues are typically divided into three domains of dynamic cues (i.e., cues that can easily be changed): face (i.e., facial expressions), body (i.e., body language; sometimes further divided into gestures and postures), and tone (i.e., paralanguage; Blanck, Rosenthal, Snodgrass, DePaulo, & Zuckerman, 1981;Elfenbein & Eisenkraft, 2010;Hall, Schmidt Mast, & West, 2016;Nowicki & Duke, 1994).…”

In this chapter, we summarize research on nonverbal expressions of behavior (nonverbal cues) and how they contribute to the accuracy of personality judgments. First, we present a conceptual overview of relevant nonverbal cues in the domains of facial expressions, body language, paralanguage, and appearance as well as approaches to assess these cues on different levels of aggregation. We then summarize research on the validity of nonverbal cues (what kind of nonverbal cues are good indicators of personality?) as well as the utilization of nonverbal cues (what kind of nonverbal cues lead to personality impressions?), resulting in a catalogue of those cues that drive judgment accuracy for different traits. Finally, we discuss personal and situational characteristics that moderate the expression and utilization of nonverbal cues and give an outlook for future research.

“…Nonverbal communication is an important aspect of communication between health professionals and patients in the assessment of pain, infection, mental health conditions, neuromuscular conditions and cognitive impairment as well as hearing or visual disturbance (Ambady, Koo, Rosenthal, & Winograd, 2002; Blanch‐Hartigan et al, 2018; Chambers, 2003). Interactional elements of nonverbal communication are important for the expression and meaning needed for perceptions, attentiveness and engagement during consultations (Hall, Horgan, & Murphy, 2019; Timmermann, Uhrenfeldt, & Birkelund, 2017). This may consist of facial cues, eye contact, touch, body posture and position, distance or interactions with technology (Ambady et al, 2002; Blanch‐Hartigan et al, 2018; Noordman, Verhaak, van Beljouw, & van Dulmen, 2010).…”

Aims and objectives This study explores nonverbal communication behaviours between general practice nurses and patients during chronic disease consultations. Background Nonverbal communication is an important aspect of nurse–patient lifestyle risk reduction conversations. Despite the growing role of general practice nurses in lifestyle risk modification when managing chronic disease, few studies have investigated how this communication occurs. Design Observational study within a concurrent mixed methods project. Methods Thirty‐six consultations by 14 general practice nurses were video‐recorded between August 2017 and March 2018. Video analysis used the Nonverbal Accommodation Analysis System. The STROBE checklist was used to guide this paper. Results Joint convergence of nurse–patient behaviours such as laughing, smiling and eye contact was most common (44%; n = 157). Patient–nurse eye contact time decreased significantly across the consultation, while nurse gesturing increased significantly. No significant relationship between consultation length and convergent to divergent behaviour categorisation or nurse–computer use across the consultation was found. Conclusions The high levels of convergent behaviours are promising for person‐centred care. However, scope exists to enhance nonverbal interactions around lifestyle risk reduction. Supporting nurses with skills and improved environments for lifestyle risk communication has potential to improve therapeutic relationships and patient outcomes. Relevance to clinical practice These results indicate that nurses support patients through nonverbal interactions during conversations of lifestyle risk reduction. However, there are opportunities to improve this practice for future interventions.

“…For example, someone might adopt a confident and expansive posture in some forms of company but not others. Because of this, we gain the most insight about the nature and extent of a person's control by tracking their behaviors across multiple contexts, but this does not stop people from interpreting and responding to these behaviors upon first encountering them (Hall et al 2019;Holland et al 2017).…”

Conceptual Development and Change Precede Adults’ Judgments About Powerful Appearance

Objective Adults' mental representations of the physical appearance of people that are "strong" and people that are "in charge" are remarkably similar. Some have explained this feature of adults' thinking by positing innate mental representations. However, specific details about the nature and structure of these representations, and an appropriate empirical foundation for these claims has been lacking. In this review, my objective is to provide a high-level summary of recent research exploring infants' and young children's intuitions about the physical manifestations of power. I argue that the social responses and judgments of these young participants are more informative about the existence and nature of putatively innate mental content. Methods Narrative review of developmental studies. Results Preverbal infants exhibit a remarkably early sensitivity to the relative power of two agents. By early childhood, children exhibit increasingly adultlike intuitions about powerful appearance. However, there are significant revisions in the appearance-to-power correspondences that people detect between childhood and adulthood. Conclusions These complex developmental patterns are inconsistent with the idea that adults' intuitions about the physical manifestations of power are straightforward outputs of an innate psychology. Rather, despite an early-emerging sensitivity to appearance-based cues to power, significant conceptual development and change precede adults' judgments about powerful appearance.
