Discussion
A limitations of this study is the
low numbers in participants we
had.
With a higher number of
participants, the difference in
body language interpretation
between genders would have
been seen more clearly.
This experiment could have
been better conducted by having
a larger number of participants
following the same procedure
Conclusion
• Men's awareness of women's
sexual interest has been well
researched, both within the
context of individual-
differences. As well of gender
differences context related to
sexual interpretation and
friendship.
• Our results shows that men are
likely to perceive and related
women body as being flirty and
to show interest in the intention
is not to do so. Although we did
have a few participants there
was a slight difference.
Participants
40 participants were selected
from a pool of undergraduate
students taking a lower division
Psychology course at CSUN.
Restriction was placed on
Students who didn't’t fully
complete the survey
Participants age ranged from 18
to 25
Part 2
Video 2 with audio-free was
shown after all survey 1’s were
were collected.
After video ended,, survey 2
was passed out to each
participant with the same
repeated instructions as part 1.
All completed surveys were
then collected, and participants
were dismissed with a debriefing.
Surveys 1 and 2 had the same
questions in the same following
order.
Procedures & Measures
Part 1
The experiment was split
between two groups (Men and
Women). Each group received
two surveys based on two video
clips that they viewed and was
asked to answer all questions as
accurate as possibly.
Video 1 was audio-free. After the
video, survey was passed out &
collected when participants were
finished with the questionaries'
Background
Communication is important in
order to convey any idea or
information, besides verbal
communication, a major form of
interacting is through body
language.
Being able to read body language
is important in order to have a
successful communication.
What people do not realize is that
males and females interpret body
language differently causing a
misreading of the situation
Purpose
To test whether the interpretation
of body language differ for men
and women
It was predicted that men observe
the women as being interested in
the partner and women observe
the women actor as just showing
signs of kindness and answer that
the women show no uninterested
in the partner.
Summary of Results
In order to test if the interpretation
of body language differ for men
and women an independent sample
t-test was used.
The results shown indicate that
there is small significant
difference between gender.
The results shown indicate that
there is a slight significant
difference between gender,
females (M= 4.556, SD=.216,
and males M=5.144, SD= .245,

Proposed Hypotheses
Women's kindness is often
mistaken by the men as a sign of
interest.
