Abstract

Kinesics is the study of bodily movement, including gestures, posture, and movement of the head, arms, legs, or torso (Birdwhistell 1970). Some scholars also include → facial expression and → eye behavior as kinesic behavior. However, because these behaviors are discussed elsewhere in this encyclopedia, this entry focuses primarily on gestures and bodily movement.
