Go to www.ted.com and search for “Body Language.”

Watch the Ted Talk by social psychologist Amy Cuddy,

“Your Body Language Shapes Who You Are.” After watching the video, break into small groups and discuss the following questions.

■ When have you made a judgment about someone based upon that person’s nonverbal communication?

Describe the situation: What were they doing?

What did you think of them?

■ Think back to the last stressful evaluative experience you had (such as an interview or class presentation).

How did you feel during that time? Do you remember how you were standing or sitting?
