Bipedics: Towards a new category of kinesics. An empirical investigation of the expression of attitude, and emotion, through simple leg and foot gesture
نویسنده
چکیده
Previous research in the field of nonverbal behaviour and communication has neglected a possible link between simple leg and foot posture and movement (or bipedic gesture) and the expression of attitudes and emotions. The present investigation explored this link in two studies; Study 1 employed analysis of a corpus that consisted of video recordings of first encounter dyadic interaction alongside interactants’ self-reported measures of liking for their conversation partner. Study 2 employed a quasiexperimental design whereby participants were asked to interpret liking between interactants portrayed by mannequin dolls. The results from both studies support a link between certain bipedic gestures and the expression of attitudes and emotions. It is hoped that these findings stimulate further research on this neglected part of the human body and its communicative affordances.
