Essays in Honour of Michael Argyle

Social Psychology at Work

A TELL IS AN ACTION THAT TELLS YOU WHAT SOMEONE IS THINKING, EVEN IF THAT PERSON DOESN'T KNOW IT THEMSELVES. AND TELLS ARE HIGHLY INFORMATIVEa The way you stand when you're talking to others, how you move your feet, your hands, your eyes - even your eyebrows - says a lot about your commitment to a conversation and your underlying attitude. Your actions and stance can also affect how long you get to talk and how often you get interrupted. Even when you're seated, the position of your arms and legs provides a wealth of information about your mood and intentions, showing whether you feel dominant or submissive, preoccupied or bored. But Tells aren't confined merely to conversations; when you are alone you are constantly shifting your body - and each movement, each gesture provides clues about your state of mind. In this illuminating book, Peter Collett, social psychologist, former Oxford don and Big Brother's resident psychologist, introduces us to the fascinating concept of Tells, showing how they work, where they come from and how to identify and iterpret them. Whilst sentizing readers to the motives and actions of other people, this invaluable guide also focuses on the messages that we unwittingly send, and the impact that these might have on those around us. Comprehensive and accessible in its approach, and written in the tradition of the international bestseller, Manwatching, THE BOOK OF TELLS offers a new, unifying vocabulary for understanding human communication and social influence - and a unique opportunity to read yourself, and others.

How to Read People's Minds from Their Actions

The Book of Tells

Kleine Zeichen der Körpersprache sagen mehr als tausend Worte ... Nonverbale Zeichen begleiten jedermanns Rede, ohne dass wir diese Gesten bewusst einsetzen oder bemerken würden: Man zupft sich am Ohr, streicht sich durchs Haar, kneift sich ins Ohrläppchen, knabbert an den Fingernägeln, fährt sich über die Lippen. Diese Zeichen offenbaren dem Zuhörer binnen Bruchteilen von Sekunden, ob sein Gegenüber alles so meint, wie er es sagt, was er wirklich denkt, wie er sich fühlt und wie es in seinem Innersten ausschaut. Kommunikation besteht eben nicht nur aus Worten, sondern vor allem aus kleinen "nonverbalen Zeichen": der ultimative Wegweiser zu ihrer Deutung.
