Features: Body language is the external manifestation of a person's inner emotions. It makes spoken language vivid and dynamic through various non-verbal body languages such as eye contact, facial muscle movements, and gestures, achieving an effect that captures attention before words and leaves a lasting impression. Moreover, the information it conveys is quite substantial. Psychologist Albert Mehrabian proposed a formula: Total communication effectiveness = 7% of words + 38% of tone and speed + 55% of facial expressions and actions. Body language plays a significant role in interpersonal communication. The media and channels of interpersonal communication are numerous, which can be broadly categorized into verbal and non-verbal communication. Non-verbal communication refers to the process of exchanging information without using either spoken or silent language symbols. In interpersonal communication, body language, as a silent non-verbal symbol, plays a crucial role and is sometimes even more important than verbal communication. Body language communication includes various forms such as eye contact, facial expressions, posture, and interpersonal spatial distance. Eye contact can convey a lot of information, help synchronize the psychology of both parties in communication, express emotions, and serve as a means of prompting, warning, and monitoring. The face is the main area for emotional communication. From the subtle expressions of the facial features, one can see the intentionally concealed content of the other party's trust, suspicion, excitement, hesitation, etc., in words. Posture is the use of body movements and positions to express different messages and inner emotional states. For example, nodding, shaking the head, shrugging, waving the hand, raising the eyebrows, and pouting. People's posture movements often unconsciously reveal their true feelings, from which more information about the interaction can be obtained. However, when receiving information transmitted by posture movements, one must consider the differences in cultural background, education level, and other aspects of the people.
