These results align with other research on dressing, but it is deeply disturbing considering it was a child who was all alone. I will say looking at the footage her body language was entirely different when she was poorly dressed. She looked forlorn, unhappy and slightly angry when she was poorly dressed which would have had an effect on people's response to her. The anger may have allowed people to think she could take care of herself. I know that sounds bad, but that is what research on response to facial expressions would indicate. But, how can we ignore a child in need?

Bullying Body Language 11 Bullying Body Language Cues That Red Flag Someone As A Bully Before They Even Open Their Mouth
Bullying Body Language 11 Bullying Body Language Cues That Red Flag Someone As A Bully Before They Even Open Their Mouth
We talk about bullying statements, but what are the nonverbal cues that they may be “bullying.” Overall you see tightening of muscles, forward movement, and expansive movement or sounds.
Here are specific cues of bulling and aggression:
Let’s start with the top of the body and move down to the feet.
The Head Jut -The head juts forward. It is one of the “I can take you, I dare you to go against me moves.” The chin moves first and may go upward in defiance and then the head goes forward. There may be one jut or a repeated boxing ring head dance motions.
The Head Butt- The chin goes down, the top of the head moves forward like a football player head butt move. It may be a single motion but it may be repeated in a taunting way.
Teeth Barring- Barring the teeth lifting the upper lip and pushing the teeth forward so that the upper and lower teeth show. This is attack body language. It’s a signal that the person could bite you and that he has the big bad wolf teeth to do so.
Tension in the mouth and jaw and overall tightening of the lips clenching of the teeth typically signal tension. That tension can be motivated by fear or anger.
Mouth Fist- Holding the mouth tightly shut and pulling the lips tightly back and downwards and the head going forward and a glare in the eyes, make the mouth fist fearful to others. I call this a mouth fist because when somebody uses it, they typically want to bring their hand into a fist and propel it forward and they may use it in combination with fisted hands. If the person is feeling fear rather than intending to be fearsome you will see quivering or downward gazing or tearful eyes afraid. The lips are actually protecting the teeth in this mouth cue.
Chest Bump or Chest Pump- In this bump, there is a springing your chest out, up and forward to pretend or fully ram another person’s chest. In the Chest pump the person’s chest seems to pump up with air like a Rooster and is held up and out and forward.
Moving the arms and hands away from the body may be a signal of the desire to fight or threaten.
Weapon Gestures- Clinched fists are obvious weapons, but there are also symbolic weapon gestures such as Pointing, Jabbing, and Stabbing, Slicing the hand through the air in sword like motions, striking out and or forward in stop or pushing motions.
Object Aggression- Holding and motioning with an object, throwing an object, or hitting or kicking an object. If you see these cues, I recommend you leave the area as soon as you safely can.
Cowboy Stance- Bringing the legs apart further than 14 to 16 inches apart combined with hands on the hips gives a “John Wayne cowboy stance” showing ready to fight pose. This human Silhouette is read by the brain as danger and this expanded feet and sharp angled elbows out motion is threatening.
Enlarging the stance or taking up more space are also signs of aggression.
Space Invasion - Stepping or walking forward or even sideways pacing movements are all ways of taking up and invading space.
Prey Circling – Circling the person you are speaking to or coming up in their space. Real threat of attack occurs when inside their intimate zone of space which is getting closer than 12 inches from them.
.
Vocal Intimidation – Raising the volume of the voice, lowering the voice, speeding up or slowing down, punching certain words or growling, yelling and making your voice significantly louder than the other person or people that you are with. Some people do this simply to command attention or get a turn to talk but to do it over and over again is a bullying paralanguage behavior.

I have written extensively on lateness as a nonverbal communicator. This article gives you yet another insight. Powerful people distort time, thinking they have more if it. Humm. Could this be another reason powerful prompt can have a issue with being late?

I was asked by the media to read Trump's daughter speech. Overall, she did a great job on her speech last night. She enjoyed herself, though of course she did just show signs of nervousness like pushing back her hair and light rocking motions. If you watch the tape you will see at the Ricky h before and after she pivoted to aim herself at other parts of the audience, She was very good at planting a a big smile on her face. You may know that I've done research on smiling. Her smile was often planted on meaning that it was at full teeth smile and lingered past the natural moment where your smile relaxes. It makes perfect sense that she would have to plant a smile on her face. She was warm and posed and likeable.

Something that I find interesting and Trump is his anger. I've been analyzing him for so long and throughout this campaign I have noticed a change. He used to have a broad emotional range. If you my newsletter you know that I've been talking to lot about anger in the campaign. He chose to do this last speech, his acceptance speech, with a down word scowl on his face. Again, He didn't start the campaign this way. He is made a conscious decision to show anger as his main emotion and downward turning of the mouth as his resting face that is the expression he uses when he pauses and is not talking.

Interesting, I am analyzing Trumps hug of his wife last night. US Weekly wants my read. Actually, it was not even a real hug. He held both her arms cupping his hands around her forearms to keep her at a certain distance from him. She also didn't go in close. There was heart to hat contact. No warmth. The extra peck he gave to her was an ownership peck to indicate, "she's mine I can do what I want with her." It's very distinct ice and different from that extra peck would give to somebody because we just love them so much and we want to just given that little bit of affection. Yes,They just pecked at each other. it is important to know if the person being read has a an issue with PDA. Typically low PDA is associated with introversion and high C (on the DISC personality inventory. ) He is extroverted and a high D. He does not show warm affectionate touch. I went back and looked at candid photos. He gives sexual touch and dominance touch! And he shows aggressive body language overall.
