Jill Kelley, a Tampa Socialite, is shown here in this image exampling an extremely common nonverbal signal - the "Hair Adjust Behind Ear" (HABE). In general any manipulators, adaptors or pacifiers (MAPs) are signals of anxiety. While this is true here (who wouldn't be with a sudden thrust into a World-wide spot light?), more specifically the HABE is a call to action for the psyche to "dial up" the alpha qualities. Whether a person is a dominant leader, a demure wall flower or anywhere in between - when displayed this body language is reflective that the emotional mind trying to be more assertive and increase its level of confidence. The hair adjust behind the ear can be seen in male or female at any age, however it is much more common in females and gay men.
Obviously, there are certainly times when women or men with long hair wish their hair to be out of their face and thus will arrange their hair accordingly. However, the vast majority of times when this body language is seen - the emotional brain is in the midst of up-regulating alpha characteristics.
Jill Kelley has reportedly exchanged "twenty to thirty thousand emails" with General John Allen, who is currently top commander of U.S. forces in Afghanistan and is nominated to be NATO's Supreme Allied Commander, Europe. It is also alleged that Ms. Kelley received threatening emails from Paula Broadwell who was having an extra-marital affair with CIA Chief and former Four Star General, David Petraeus. Furthermore it is reported that Paula Broadwell, via email, anonymously warned Allen of Kelley, characterizing Ms. Kelley as a "seductress".
