History of the Hand Salute
In reference to today being Flag Day: Many military historians believe that the hand salute might have begun in Rome. Even in regular society, if a citizen wanted to meet with a senator or other public official, the citizen had to demonstrate he didn’t have a weapon, and would approach with his right hand visible or raised. Another theory suggests the practice stems from knights in armor, who traditionally raised the visors on their helmets with their right hands. Whatever its origins, the salute eventually came to be seen as a sign of respect. It’s interesting to note that the tr... more »

If You Want To Seem More Dominant, Tilt Your Head
Social psychologists say we send out social cues not just with our facial expressions, but with the tilt of our heads as well. An otherwise neutral expression looks more dominant when the head is tilted down. The authors speculate that is because tilting one's head downward leads to the artificial appearance of lowered and V-shaped eyebrows--which elicit perceptions of aggression, intimidation, and dominance. But why does looking like a serial killer seem more dominant than someone with their head tilted back, a pose usually regarded as more confident? Dominant means something diffe... more »
