Nonverbal Communication Analysis No. 2350: Ben Carson and Contempt - both dramatic and subtle - Backpedaling and Body Language (VIDEO, PHOTOS)





In the both interviews shown in the above video, Dr. Benjamin Carson shows multiple displays of contempt - some of these were in the form of microexpressions. These are most notable in the original interview on FOX earlier this week (exampled below). And although they are significantly more subtle examples - contempt is still seen with his explanation-apology.
