Instant Genius<\/em> is a bite-sized masterclass in podcast form. And in this episode, we\u2019re exploring the many myths of non-verbal communication.<\/p>\n

Want to get better at interpreting body language? Well, most books on the topic are unlikely to help you. At least, that\u2019s the argument of Geoff Beattie<\/a>, professor of psychology at Edge Hill University.<\/p>\n

He claims that most stereotypes of non-verbal communication, be it defensive arm-crossing or nervous hair twiddling, are vastly misunderstood. In this episode, Beattie unpacks these body language myths \u2013 and also explains science worth paying attention to.<\/p>\n\n<p>Find <em>Instant Genius<\/em>\u00a0on your preferred podcast platform here:\u00a0<a href=\"\/\/instantgenius.podlink.to\/Podcast"\" target=\""_blank"\" rel=\""noopener" noopener noreferrer\">instantgenius.podlink.to\/Podcast<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Listen to more episodes of Instant Genius:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul><li><a href=\""https:\/\/www.sciencefocus.com\/future-technology\/podcast-ai-art\/"\">AI\u2019s fight to understand creativity, with Ahmed Elgammal<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\""https:\/\/www.sciencefocus.com\/the-human-body\/instant-genius-podcast-how-to-boost-your-creativity-with-hilde-ostby\/"\">How to boost your creativity, with Hilde Ostby<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"\/\/www.sciencefocus.com\/the-human-body\/instant-genius-podcast-ultra-processed-food-with-dr-chris-van-tulleken\/"\" target=\""_blank"\" rel=\""noopener" noopener noreferrer\">Ultra-processed food, with Dr Chris van Tulleken<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\""https:\/\/www.sciencefocus.com\/space\/space-politics-tim-gregory\/"\">How the battle for space will change the world, with Dr Tim Marshall<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"\/\/www.sciencefocus.com\/the-human-body\/out-of-body-experiences-podcast\/"\" target=\""_blank"\" rel=\""noopener" noopener noreferrer\">Out-of-body experiences, with Dr Jane Aspell<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\""https:\/\/www.sciencefocus.com\/the-human-body\/dyslexia-theory-podcast\/"\">A bold new theory of dyslexia, with Prof Usha Goswami<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul> <\/body><\/html>\n<hr class=\"no-tts wp-block-separator\"\/>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> The body language you’re misinterpreting \u2013 and the signals actually worth paying attention to. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":24,"featured_media":27452,"template":"","categories":[1],"acf":{"readingTimeMinutes":"< 1"},"uagb_featured_image_src":{"full":["https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/42\/2023\/05\/instant-genius-podcast-body-language-myths-with-prof-geoff-beattie.jpg",940,400,false],"thumbnail":["https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/42\/2023\/05\/instant-genius-podcast-body-language-myths-with-prof-geoff-beattie-150x150.jpg",150,150,true],"medium":["https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/42\/2023\/05\/instant-genius-podcast-body-language-myths-with-prof-geoff-beattie-300x128.jpg",300,128,true],"medium_large":["https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/42\/2023\/05\/instant-genius-podcast-body-language-myths-with-prof-geoff-beattie-768x327.jpg",768,327,true],"large":["https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/42\/2023\/05\/instant-genius-podcast-body-language-myths-with-prof-geoff-beattie.jpg",800,340,false],"1536x1536":["https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/42\/2023\/05\/instant-genius-podcast-body-language-myths-with-prof-geoff-beattie.jpg",940,400,false],"2048x2048":["https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/42\/2023\/05\/instant-genius-podcast-body-language-myths-with-prof-geoff-beattie.jpg",940,400,false]},"uagb_author_info":{"display_name":"importmanagerhub@sprylab.com","author_link":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/bbcsciencefocus\/author\/importmanagerhubsprylab-com\/"},"uagb_comment_info":0,"uagb_excerpt":"The body language you're misinterpreting \u2013 and the signals actually worth paying attention to.","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/bbcsciencefocus\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/rss_feed\/27451"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/bbcsciencefocus\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/rss_feed"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/bbcsciencefocus\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/rss_feed"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/bbcsciencefocus\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/24"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/bbcsciencefocus\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/27452"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/bbcsciencefocus\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=27451"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/bbcsciencefocus\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=27451"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
