Exploring Body Language and Social Interaction Cues
People tend to conceal their behavior to align with how they want to be perceived by overcompensating, like laughing or smiling excessively or displaying less information. The focus should not be solely on behavior but on the mechanisms used to mask it. In social interactions, cues of social coordination like facial gestures or movements indicating paying attention are crucial. Lack of facial reactivity, such as not nodding in American culture, may lead to friction in teams. Differences exist in cultural facial coordination, for example, lower levels in Russian or Slavic cultures, making it a key indicator of potential social challenges.
