Nonverbal Communication No. 3195: Kinky Boots, Jeopardy, Body Language & Sheepishness (VIDEO, PHOTOS)





In this current viral video of a recent Jeopardy episode, this contestant can be seen in the midst of a cluster of facial expressions and other body language which can be described as "Sheepish" or embarrassment. 

  • Partial, suppressed Sincere Smile
  • Components of Regret (Lateral configuration left mouth)
  • Mild Elevated Central Forehead Contraction (Elevated CFC)
  • Inner (medial) Eyebrow Elevation
  • Facial blushing
  • Palms-Up Hand
  • Extended Arm towards Alex Trebek
  • Shifting stance from weight equal on both legs to an asymmetrical, one leg (In this context, this is a form of "shrugging" with the lower extremities with an anxiety component as well.)
  • Looking Down-to-his-Right
