Identifying Manipulative Traits Through Posture

December 27, 2024 - 14:12

Identifying Manipulative Traits Through Posture

Susan Krauss Whitbourne, a former professor of psychological and brain sciences, has shed light on an intriguing method for identifying potential manipulators based on their posture. According to Whitbourne, the way a person stands can reveal significant insights into their psychological makeup.

Individuals displaying certain postural traits may indicate manipulative tendencies commonly associated with psychopathy. For instance, a person who stands with an overly confident posture, such as puffing out their chest or maintaining an aggressive stance, may be attempting to project dominance and control. Conversely, someone who appears closed off, with hunched shoulders or crossed arms, might be exhibiting defensive behavior that could mask underlying manipulative intentions.

Whitbourne emphasizes that while posture alone cannot definitively label someone as a psychopath, it can serve as a useful indicator. Observing these subtle cues can help individuals better navigate social interactions and relationships, fostering a greater understanding of the complex dynamics at play in human behavior.
