MTV interview body language of Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson

Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson MTV interview 

Look for Patti's  new book "SNAP, Making the Most of First Impressions, Body Language and Charisma

Kristen Stewart started the MTV interview with her arms crossed in her oversized shirt her feet running in place as if she would like to run away from the interviews. She was also rocking with her legs crossed away from Robert showing he desire to no want them to be seen as couple during the interviews.

At the beginning of the interview Robert Pattinson touched the zipper of his pants in a cover cue showing he felt that his masculinity was threatened by the prospect of this interview, and perhaps sitting by Kristen Stewart on National TV. Robert then he hunched his shoulder over, hunkered his head down like a turtle and brought his legs together a gesture cluster that showed he was a bit cold during this outside interview and clearly and would prefer to hide out rather than be there being interviewed. Robert quickly followed that by holding his own hand in comfort cue and kept holding his own hand as he extended his arms and placed his hands between his legs as he tucked his held tightly together feet under his chair is “feet retreat.” He held this gesture cluster so that he looked like a little boy about to have to compete in a spelling. He then tried to cover his fear by giving a long be fear by giving a long wide yawn. This is actually a stress yawn, a way of taking in more oxygen to deal with stress and also a way that we show appeasement. For example subordinate dogs will sometimes yawn in the presence of an alpha person or alpha dog to signal, don’t hurt me. The yawn made Patterson look extremely rude though I sure he thought it was rebellious way of showing he was “all cool.”  And Robert said, “I feel very very funny.” Like he did in his last interview on Jon Stewart interview, Pattison quickly took a drink to cover his nervous then rubbed his eye (looking almost like he was digging sleep out his eye) a cue that showed symbolically he didn’t like what the way this interview was looking. If you get a freeze frame of the whole crew in that moment you have this amazing body language shot. You will see that all three Twilight actors are hunched over in mirror matched of each other and the two actors even have their legs spread, feet tucked and left arm resting on their left leg and hand between their legs mirrored exactly Taylor is scratching the back of his neck in a “I would like to fight my way out of here” stress cue. The two guys actually match and mirror each other frequently daring the interview.

Pattinson, says, boldly, “This (the current interview) is not very interesting to watch”  he follows that by holding his cup.

Kristin actually gives a suppressed roar when the first the host says he is about to show a tape of he and Pattinson’s first interview on the MTV awards. When they come back from the clip she is standing up and circling in front of the chairs. She too look like a little girl here. Notice how she stops in her circling facing Pattinson orienting her heart towards him then she leans in toward him and rest her hand on his upper thigh. This gesture cluster shows she still seeks him for reassurance.

They all laugh to cover their embarrassment.

Kristen is really uncomfortable as the host gives the “superlative awards” Kristen bites her nails with discomfort and rocks forward and backward then.

Talking about the Halloween costumes she taps her feet impatiently and a times bending her upper torso over like she wants to throw up. She is feeling a bit sick, and dying to get through and run from the away as the interview questions about her pink wig and sunglasses costume and durring the first question from twitter follower, “What is your favorite scene….” Here I  feel so sorry for the interviewer.

When asked about the headboard breaking scene Pattinson turns his upper torso and heart towards Kristen and reaches a bit towards her.

When talking about taking being asked to take his shirt off during the auditions and refusing Pattinson oddly sticks the top of his hand in his pocket (His hand closest to Kristen) showing he embarrassed but a bit boastful at the same time about how he rebelled against taking his shirt off.

Question, “What scene would you reshoot.” the kissing scene. This is the only question that Pattinson answers without sarcasm. His voice get warms and he gives real illustrator gestures showing what he did and wanted to redo. It felt to me that this response reveals he would like to “do over” in his relationship with Kristen.  as he shows what he will do.

What Are Emotion Expressions For?

Ever wonder why we raise our eyebrows in surprise? Do you want to know why people smile when they meet a stranger or the reason why teenage girls scrunch up their noses in disgust at their parent’s rules? Why do we have common facial expressions for emotions?  Here is a new research study that explains the origin of facial expressions.

What Are Emotion Expressions For?

ScienceDaily (Jan. 3, 2012) — That cartoon scary face -- wide eyes, ready to run -- may have helped our primate ancestors survive in a dangerous wild, according to the authors of an article published in Current Directions in Psychological Science, a journal of the Association for Psychological Science. The authors present a way that fear and other facial expressions might have evolved and then come to signal a person's feelings to the people around him.

---

The basic idea, according to Azim F. Shariff of the University of Oregon, is that the specific facial expressions associated with each particular emotion evolved for some reason. Shariff cowrote the paper with Jessica L. Tracy of the University of British Columbia. So fear helps respond to threat, and the squinched-up nose and mouth of disgust make it harder for you to inhale anything poisonous drifting on the breeze. The outthrust chest of pride increases both testosterone production and lung capacity so you're ready to take on anyone. Then, as social living became more important to the evolutionary success of certain species -- most notably humans -- the expressions evolved to serve a social role as well; so a happy face, for example, communicates a lack of threat and an ashamed face communicates your desire to appease.

The research is based in part on work from the last several decades showing that some emotional expressions are universal -- even in remote areas with no exposure to Western media, people know what a scared face and a sad face look like, Shariff says. This type of evidence makes it unlikely that expressions were social constructs, invented in Western Europe, which then spread to the rest of the world.

And it's not just across cultures, but across species. "We seem to share a number of similar expressions, including pride, with chimpanzees and other apes," Shariff says. This suggests that the expressions appeared first in a common ancestor.

The theory that emotional facial expressions evolved as a physiological part of the response to a particular situation has been somewhat controversial in psychology; another article in the same issue of Current Directions in Psychological Science argues that the evidence on how emotions evolved is not conclusive.

Shariff and Tracy agree that more research is needed to support some of their claims, but that, "A lot of what we're proposing here would not be all that controversial to other biologists," Shariff says. "The specific concepts of 'exaptation' and 'ritualization' that we discuss are quite common when discussing the evolution of non-human animals." For example, some male birds bring a tiny morsel of food to a female bird as part of an elaborate courtship display. In that case, something that might once have been biologically relevant -- sharing food with another bird -- has evolved over time into a signal of his excellence as a potential mate. In the same way, Shariff says, facial expressions that started as part of the body's response to a situation may have evolved into a social signal.

Tips on Using Skype to Inprove the Quality of the Your Interaction

If you are giving Job interviews, media interviews, attending business meetings or talking to friends and families over Skype you can improve the quality of the interaction and body language by changing where you sit and how the camera is placed.  It is important if you are using a camera on your laptop or desk top on the small computer screen of Skype that you sit back from the camera so people can see more of your body.  The more body windows they see such as the honest window at the palms of your hands and the more gestures they see the better they will understand your message and the more they will feel comfortable with you and like you. You don’t just want to be a big ole’ bopping head.  

I did a Skype interview with the Wall Street Journal two weeks ago about the last presidential debate. I was in a hotel room in Greensboro, North Carolina that day so I only had my laptop. I was so pleased that the producer and tech person liked that I had pushed back my chair from the desk where my lap top was sitting and that they suggested that I put the laptop on top of several books and aim the camera down to get a great full sitting body view.  The change in view is tremendously advantageous.  You now are able to give more body language cues to others and can create a richer feedback loop so there is more clarity; you know not only what people are saying with their words but also what they feel.
