Paper Abstract: Discusses studies on the relationship between nonlinguistic body motions and communication. Describes three experiments on Kinesics. The purpose, methods and findings of the studies. Experiments deal with body movement and spousal communication; body movements of emotionally distressed individuals & displacement behaviors; gestures of blind and sigthed children and adolescents. Paper Introduction: Introduction Kinesthetics is the study of body motion and movement in diverse situations. This paper describes three very different kinds of experiments examining body motion and movements so as to show the wide variety of phenomena to which the field applies. The experiments that are here reviewed are: (1) a study of posture in relation to vibration of the Achilles tendon conducted by Talis and Solopova (2000) at Russia’s Institute for Information on Transmission Problems; (2) a study by Mills and Griffin (2000) of motion sickness and factors that affect it; and (3) an examination conducted by Lydic and Steele (1979) of the wide-based gait and hip mobility in sitting that is characteristic of children with Down’s syndrome.
