Chapter 9 Section 8 Why does the FBI keep a close eye on the opponent's hand

The hand is the most flexible part of the human body. People can use gestures to express a person's inner emotions and desires, which may be much more difficult to translate into spoken language.It can be said that hands can "speak" more than mouths in many cases. In the process of communication, using gestures to enhance the effect is an essential link, so a good speaker must be good at using gestures, gestures are the second face of the speaker.Speakers often use gestures to indicate instructions, express emotions, or imitate and explain some abstract things.People can also use gestures to form a unique silent language system, such as dumb language, traffic police gestures, special forces combat gestures, etc.

People can't do without the use of arms, hands and fingers in daily life. They help you lift heavy objects, tidy up the house, play musical instruments, etc. - their existence shows the achievements of human evolution.The arms, palms and fingers are considered by the FBI to be the most flexible parts of the body, and the muscles that control them make a series of flexible movements.When stimulated by the environment, because the cerebral cortex is stimulated intensely, hormones such as neurotransmitters and adrenaline surge, at this time people usually send some excitement or sadness signals through the arms, palms or fingers.

As early as ancient times, the arms and hands of today's people used to be our front legs and feet.Our ancestors had already learned to hide behind obstacles to seek protection and self-defense methods, and as time changed, this self-defense method has become more complicated and cumbersome, such as when we feel fear, we will fold our arms We protect ourselves by crossing our chests; when we feel uneasy, we will replace our arm-folding movements by relaxing our arms and crossing our legs to try to cover up our self-defense and fear.After years of relevant research, it is found that the small movements of the arms, palms and fingers can largely reflect whether the parties feel relaxed or heavily guarded about the surrounding environment, whether the parties have full confidence in themselves when negotiating with others, and so on.When the FBI trains and trains new members, one point is always emphasized—to face different types of criminals and different environmental conditions, not only must have excellent physical fitness, but also carefully explore their hearts from the psychological aspect ideas and intentions.Next, the FBI will teach you to understand other people's minds by reading gestures.

The FBI's research into the gesture of folding the arms has shown some incredible results.They organized the volunteers who participated in the research together to give a series of lectures. Each volunteer was asked to keep his legs and arms in a natural state and to listen to the lectures in two postures, the results were compared with the volunteers in the relaxed posture. Volunteers in the second arm mastered the lecture content with a relative reduction of about 40%. Folding your arms across your chest is a strong self-defensive posture. If you think that this may be a special habit of a certain type of people, what the FBI will tell you is that this type of person is either aggressive towards people, things, or even things around them. The environment has negative views or attitudes, or is defensive and self-defensive.But often such people are more advocating freedom, do not like rules, order or even being bound, and are often relatively independent in thinking, and most of them will have their own way of personality.One does not assume such poses when one feels comfortable in one's surroundings and enjoys a pleasant conversation with one's friends.

When your arms are crossed in front of your chest, it is like building a barrier between you and the other person, blocking things you want to avoid. Therefore, when we are talking with others, if we see the other person posing In this posture, then we should be aware of whether the other party has a negative view on the topic of the conversation. If we want to persuade the other party, we must moderate the content of the topic and let them hold pens, paper and other items under appropriate conditions, and even find a way Let the other party lean forward, watch some video files, etc. Let them give up the posture of crossing their arms, and then strengthen the theoretical nature of our point of view to achieve the goal.

The FBI believes that when we are talking, the other party makes a gesture of crossing his arms and his hands are tightly clenched under his armpits, which means that he not only has a strong sense of self-defense, but also shows a little resistance. Rebuttals, etc. are clearly hostile.If we don't know what caused the other party to be hostile at this time, then we must ease the atmosphere and try to calm the other party's emotions as much as possible, otherwise we will not be able to communicate with them smoothly in this state. The FBI tells us that there is another way to fold your arms across your chest, that is, when you fold your arms across your chest, your hands will each hold the other arm tightly.This hugging arm method can more firmly protect the chest of the human body. If the strength of holding the arms with both hands is too strong and hinders blood circulation, then the hands are likely to turn white. The FBI believes that such postures are like embracing the self, which can calm the inner emotions, comfort oneself, and ease the sense of sadness.The clasped folded arms highlight a person's stiff, tense, negative attitude. This posture is often seen in places such as medical consultation rooms, and it is also occasionally displayed by criminals.

Clasping our hands behind our back is the opposite of putting our arms around our chest. When our hands are clasped behind our backs, the vulnerable parts such as the heart and throat are all exposed in front. Its meaning is also the opposite of putting our arms around our chest , it represents a fearless attitude, courage, guts, authority, and sometimes frustration. The FBI has carefully classified the posture behind the hands: hands clasped tightly behind the back, one hand grasping the wrist of the other hand, one hand behind the other hand placed in other positions.After investigation, people who hold their hands tightly behind their backs generally raise their heads and raise their chins slightly, showing an irresistible authoritative leadership temperament, and such postures often appear in high-level management.If the hands are not tightly clasped behind the back, but one hand is grasping the wrist of the other hand, then this person must be immersed in frustration and deep thinking at this time, trying to use this posture to resist external interference, Hope to give more space for self-control.Among the FBI's enforcement officers, some of them hold the guns they carry with one hand behind their backs and the other hand. They use this posture to show their authority.

From a certain point of view, clasping hands is somewhat similar to tightly embracing arms. It is a defensive gesture, which means that Yi will resist certain external views to achieve a negative effect.In daily life, we may often see some people smiling, clasping fingers, and looking relaxed during conversations. According to the FBI research survey, most criminals describe crimes and experiences. , will also clenched his hands tightly, and sometimes even lead to poor blood circulation in the hands and whitening of the fingers.Why is it that the same hands are clasped but the performance is different? The FBI told us that the high or low position of the clasped hands is closely related to people's psychological changes. However, no matter whether you clasp your hands with a smile or tense to the point that your fingers turn white, you can't escape this person's strong defensive psychology. People will also feel frustrated.When a person clenches his hands and raises this gesture very high, he is extremely defensive and difficult to communicate with, while it is relatively easy to communicate with a person who clenches his hands slightly lower and raises this gesture very high.

The FBI usually refers to this action of clasping hands as the minaret gesture, that is, the fingertips of one hand lightly touch the fingertips of the other hand, forming a gesture that looks like a towering minaret.The palm can be turned slightly inward or outward, taking the plane where the ten fingers touch as the axis.There is a minaret-shaped gesture that I believe everyone is familiar with, that is, pressing the palm inward and making the minaret upward like the Almighty God. Often this gesture will make people look extraordinary and have strong self-confidence. This type of gesture represents a confident attitude, and in business, it is usually seen at the upper management level, and they use this gesture to show their identity and self-confidence.There is another gesture with the spire facing the other party. The meaning conveyed by this gesture is that the person is focusing on listening to other people's opinions and perspectives, and thinking.

The action of holding the chin with both hands is called the tray posture, which is like gently lifting the head from the chin with both hands. This action can easily convey a meaning to us-focus, admiration, and compliment.If people face the object of their admiration, they tend to use this posture to attract the object of their admiration. Of course, this posture is more common in women. They hope to hold their faces up so that the object of admiration can see more clearly. There are two types of rubbing the palms of your hands together: fast and slow.People who rub their palms quickly are often in a mood of urgency, can't wait or even have high expectations for something.For example, when you are talking about wonderful vacation plans with a friend, if the other party quickly rubs his palms and smiles, it means that he can't wait for the holiday to come!This quick rubbing of palms can be seen everywhere, like when a salesperson gets a big order and a real estate agent tells you they have exactly the property you need to buy.When people are in a state of excitement and expectation, the brain will transmit it to the hands to produce the action of gearing up.And the other kind, the person who rubs his palms slowly back and forth, represents his deep worry.We often encounter this typical action, it is like a signal, telling us that the other party is in a kind of depression, with strong psychological pressure and anxiety, and he needs to release and relieve this pressure in some way, so some people will Manifested in rubbing the palms. When the FBI interrogates the prisoner, it pays special attention to the prisoner's hand movements. If the prisoner always rubs his hands or tries to hide his hands, then his movements directly tell the FBI interrogator that this person may be lying or doing something bad. Attempts to hide the authenticity of the incident.

From the perspective of human physical characteristics, hands are the most unique compared with other body organs.Human hands are very dexterous and can grab some things, play the piano, grab objects, carry furniture, etc. Some skilled craftsmen can also make some world-famous utensils and works of art.Hands can perform various actions such as hitting, grasping, holding, lifting, and holding, and can also transmit some inner signals to other people through gestures.Hand information can intuitively reflect people's views on things, and provides certain help for investigating criminals.
