im currently taking a basic psychology course right now in university and i recently got an assignment which is worth alot on personality theories and development therories. I dot all that taken care of but theres some thing i just cant seem to find, 1 of them is how a person walks can determine their personality and examples, so like, what does it mean when a person walks all slouched or drags their feet. its all theory work so it doesnt have to be facts or anything but it does have to be from a credible published source and i cant seem to find anything on the topic. anyone have any ideas? also i need infromation on how a persons mood can be told through appearence. some are obvious like if the person is displeased they frown but i need published sources because anything without a bibliography doesnt count, any recommendations? also post any of your research observations on this stuff because itll be easier to search for it then. thank you!

My old man had a picture of this in his office and whenever he saw me walking with my head sloched he always reminded me of the picture. The text the sexton is putting on the board reads "Lift up thine eyes." No help to you but a cool image if the project calls for one.

Look up "body language" for the walking posture theory.

And use paragraphs and capitalize properly: if you do, more people will read your posts.

Here's a fresh new article that may be of interest:

Quote:

Ekman, emotional expression, and the art of empirical epiphany.

Journal of Research in Personality Vol 38(1) (Feb 2004): 37-44

Abstract: In the mid and late 1960s, Paul Ekman offered a variety of bold assertions, some seemingly more radical today than others (Ekman, 1984, 1992, 1993). Emotions are expressed in a limited number of particular facial expressions. These expressions are universal and evolved. Facial expressions of emotion are remarkably brief, typically lasting 1 to 5 s. And germane to the interests of the present article, these brief facial expressions of emotion reveal a great deal about people's lives. In the present article I will present evidence that supports this last notion advanced by Ekman, that brief expressions of emotion reveal important things about the individual's life course. To do so I first theorize about how individual differences in emotion shape the life context. With this reasoning as backdrop, I then review four kinds of evidence that indicate that facial expression is revealing of the life that the individual has led and is likely to continue leading.
