"Article may not represent a worldwide view of the subject"

I added the "globalize" tag: "The examples and perspective in this article may not represent a worldwide view of the subject." Body language varies a lot from one culture to another. -- 201.17.36.246 (talk) 22:44, 9 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I came to this article specifically to find out if common body language in western cultures is interpreted the same way in the middle and far eastern cultures, only to find that there is no information whatsoever relating to this, so I second that.

"This sounds like someone's made-up theories"

This article is less-than-useless, perhaps problem-causing in its current state. "Unfocused eyes can mean either boredom or ocular problems"!? Someone just wrote this stuff off the top of their head. Nothing should be in this article unless there are references to research. 165.123.227.183 (talk) 03:14, 7 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I found plenty of independent research papers that confirm many of the statements made in this article. There are also a lot of interesting findings by Hess & Polt, 1960, 1964; Hess, Seltzer, & Shlien, 1965 that i found about pupil dilation and interest level. These findings specifically relate to this body language article and women. On a side note, there are also many Evolutionary Psychology papers that evaluate Hess' findings from a different angle while exploring body language from an evolutionary perspective. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.65.132.194 (talk) 09:41, 19 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

"File:Body Language.svg is incomplete - full image does not show"

The image "File:Body Language.svg" has missing words as if there is a white box in the top right corner covering text. I added rthe "cleanup" tag to the article. Maybe someone can find the whole image to post here instead. Jlitz77 (talk) 04:26, 10 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Edward T. Hall

Reference to Mr. Hall's book, _The Silent Language_, might help make this entry more precise. 128.147.28.1 (talk) 21:46, 13 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Dominance

I have a serious problem with the following section ... I believe that it is basing the term Power touch on a WP:Neologism made up by Peter Collett, the Guardian Reporter.

“

Powerful people may express their dominance by means of a power touch. For example, at the G20 summit in London, Barack Obama touched other world leaders in a way that displayed his confidence and strength, without them engaging in reciprocal touching.^[1]

”

The best real reference I can find doing a Gsearch for a Power touch is this one. Is anyone able to find a Citation that matches the one used by the Reporter? ---
