The old adage that words are not enough may have more than a ring of truth
as scientists have discovered that the secret of communication is all in the hands.
New research has shown that our hands - whether being shaken or gesturing - give
away more about us than we realize. Once thought of as meaningless and even
distracting, hand gestures have been shown to be far more important than the
spoken word in getting the message across.
Body language has long been recognized as having importance, but the level
of importance attached to handshakes is startling. Recent research has pointed to
speech itself making up only 7 per cent of human communication while hand
movements and body language make up well over 50 per cent. There is a common
misconception that communicating is only speaking. If people are not allowed to
gesture it can interfere with their communication and thought processes and certain
ideas or thought processes may be more difficult to relay Gestures help us think
about what we want to say and communicate effectively. If there is anything we
would like to keep secret from the rest of the world, it is probably best to sit on our
hands.
