Another news was made by the US Vice-President Joe Biden recently. All social networking sites were flooded with various opinions on this behaviour. Let us analyse the incident and know the truth.
- Entering into the personal space
Here in this picture, we can see Joe offering a handshake. The thing to notice here is, Joe is entering into the personal space of the defence secretary. When someone enters our personal space, we feel a little bit awkward. Joe doesn't do it knowingly, he always gets real close to people, enters into the personal space thinking that he is friendly.
2. The Double Hander
And to tackle the awkwardness the US defence secretary gives him a double hander. This kind of handshake is used to be perceived as a warm personality, or to avoid to be perceived as a subjugated personality.
3. More friendly
Joe now breaks eye contact with the defence secretary and points the total body towards the defence secretary's wife to greet her. Here we can see an active example of interest. Our body points where our interest lies, but as soon as he greets her, he quickly turns his body towards the dais. Joe wants to be very accommodating, so that no one feels "left alone".
4. Concerned about image
On the other side, the defence secretary kisses his wife. but if you look at his hands,it's like he is pushing her away, glanced quickly towards Joe, as if the "kiss" was over.
He also gets his wife's caress on the right side,which he doesn't acknowledge.
5. The shoulder squeeze
When Joe calls the defence secretary's wife,it looks like he is being friendly but as soon as he gets his hands completely on defence secretary's wife's shoulders, he can be seen with a chin up gesture which symbolizes pride.
6. Whisper in the ear
We now see Joe whispering something in the ear of the Defence secretary's wife but whatever he said doesn't interest her as we see a delay in her response. Whenever there is a delay in response or there is very quick response,it rings a bell.
7. Authority
Of course, the defence secretary didn't like the over friendly gesture of the US Vice President. We know it, when he says thanks to his "perfect wife", he puts his hands on his wife's shoulder as if claiming her. This is an authoritative gesture symbolizing the person is more concerned about his people/things etc.
For more, stay tuned.
Nice article! Both defense secretory and his wife weren't prepare for this unexpected venture.
