Read the passage carefully and choose the correct answer.
Movements and gestures by the hands, arms, legs, and other parts' of
the body and face are the most pervasive types of nonverbal messages and
the most difficult to control. 'It is estimated that there are over 200.000
physical signs capable of stimulating meaning in another person. For
example, there are 23 distinct eyebrow movements, each capable of
stimulating a different meaning.
Humans express attitudes toward themselves and vividly through body
movements and postures. Body movements express true messages about
feelings that cannot be masked. Because such avenues of communication
are visual, they travel much farther than spoken words and are unaffected by
the presence of noise that interrupt, or cancels out speech.
People communicate by the way they walk, stand, and sit. We tend to
be more relaxed with friends or when addressing those of lower status. Body
orientation also indicates status or liking of the other individual. More direct
orientation is related to a more positive attitude.
Body movements and postures alone have no exact meaning, but they
can greatly support or reject the spoken word. If these two means of
communication are dichotomized and contradict each other, some result will
be a disordered image and most often the nonverbal will dominate.
