Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Studies have found that tension and relaxation of muscles can indicate status differences, such as high-status individuals being more relaxed and expansive in their posture compared to low-status individuals. The other options are incorrect as research shows that we are generally aware of our posture, different facial expressions do not necessarily help with posture interpretation, we should use ambiguous postural cues to avoid misinterpretation, and posture is important to body image.
