Body postures and movements are frequent indicators of self-confidence, energy,

fatigue, or status. Cognitively, gestures operate to clarify, contradict, or replace
verbal messages. Gestures also serve an important function with regard to
regulating the flow of conversation. For example, if a student is talking about
something in front of the class, single nods of the head from the teacher will likely
cause that student to continue and perhaps more elaborate. Postures as well as
gestures are used to indicate attitudes, status, affective moods, approval, deception,
warmth, and other variables related to conversation interaction.

cleanliness, and facial hair-relate to an individual's idea of beauty. A third group of
facial markers is momentary expressions that signal that cause changes in the
forehead, eyebrows, eyelids, cheeks, nose, lips, and chin, such as raising the
