I would pay money for a full Spidey course.
Hell yessssssss!!!
1000%!!
Yessssss
For realllzzzz
So would I…. I hope he opens a college. Or an online courses..
Love love LOVE this!! Thank you for making us a "library" -- how flipping cool!! 😘
For me it's a sign of attractiveness too. Like if I'm attracted to someone I notice I raise my eye brows more often.
Ha. Eibesfeldt noted it’s seen cross culturally while flirting also, so you’re dead on with that one 😊 I think it comes back to social approval maybe, like you are seeking social/ romantic approval.
By raising our eyebrows we are opening our eyes wider, taking more in 😊
Really love this. Your videos are already some of my most rewatched content (except music lol) and it is specifically because there are usually small grey areas in my knowledge in body language and behavior. Really love learning about this stuff for practical daily use. It helps me feel a lot more confident in day-to-day encounters with others.
Great video! Thank you for taking the time to explain this in more detail and provide the sources of your information. So important! I'm so excited that you're creating a library for all your body language analysis. As a writer, it is our job to show, not tell our audience the internal and external conflict though the actions of our characters. It's so important to understand body language and gestures in order to describe them accurately to our audience so they fully understand what's really going on in the story. If you haven't been marketing your content to the writing community, you REALLY should! This information is truly invaluable. 💗💗💗
Also, I love that you include your citations. 🙏
Yes!
When you first talked about the 3 reasons that we raise our eyebrows, I connected them together as showing that something or someone has our attention.
Woohoo! Love this idea of a playlist for specific behaviors! Thank you Spidey!
Spidey you are the best for listening to your community, creating a whole library for us !
you got my like and comment on every videos, kudos to you :)
Great idea Spidey! I like being able to have access to a quick reference, thanks for making this possible with your new playlist!
LOVE this idea! I think it's so cool that you try to attune to your community regarding your content ☺️
Absolutely love this library idea 💡
I have very little control over my brows to make them behave, but they definitely respond to conversations on their own. I also tend to raise them in "oh really?" moments & lower them in moments where I am not impressed. My mom would raise one brow high & we knew she was not buying what we were selling at the moment especially if she thought (or knew we were not being truthful) but this action usually went with nothing said leaving us knowing we'd just had a non verbal tongue lashing!
I taught myself to raise one brow like that because I saw a cop on 'the bill' used to use it in that same way, and I needed to add it to my repertiore…
He’s talked about this on the channel and in the comments before. If you know or remember when you made gestures, they were conscious not unconscious. He’s teaching unconscious/ non- deliberate behaviors. You wouldn’t know when you do them. If you asked Robert Downey Jr. when and why he raised his brows during this interview; he wouldn’t have a darn clue.
This playlist idea is superb! I wish this will be your biggest playlist
Oh this is great! Love the library idea!
Oh I love the mini-tutorial video 😊, please do more of these.
Thank you for creating a new deep dive playlist. 👍👏👏👏
I love this! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge!
You would have a blast with me! I do not have a poker face!
Me either!! Ha! 😂
AMAZING ! Thanks a lot for this kind of video with condensed info. Looking forward to watching more !
Interest, hidden knowledge, mystery
To add, raised eyebrows are wanting to share/gain info, lowerred is refusal of info or refusal to give info
Thanks for sharing your insight, this is great!
Thanks Spidey! I learn from you!!
Great idea with the Playlist!
That's awsome!! A Spidey Library! 💜
This is a great idea! Love the library and look forward to being able to experience it as it fills up with more information!
Carmaine ive reported this spidey impersonator just now. So if a replie dissapears, you know why 😄
I love the idea of capturing and cataloging these deep dives. You said from now on, but hopefully you have time to backtrack and extract some previous excursions.
An interesting cultural thing (to me) I personally experienced was when I lived on an island in Micronesia back in the day and the men (mostly) almost extensively use their eyebrows for greetings and agreement. There was no hand waving “hello” or verbal “yes”. This was just my observation and I quickly learned to “speak” that way too.
I also had to learn how to not make flip-flops make the flip and flop sound as I walked because you could tell who was not from the islands by their walk.
I haven’t lived there for 30 years and this was a forgotten observation on my part. But I’m finding this stand alone concept video fascinating hope you make more like this. Thanks!
This is an awesome video! Thanks for posting it. Also the behavior library is a great idea!
Love this Spidey,thank you for everything ❤️
Oh Body Language Library...love it, thank you!!!
Can you please make a full video on some psychological tips for avoiding anger and being unreactive even under pressure. It's hard to maintain your cool when you're short tempered like some of us. It ruins everything. I really hope that you make a video on this topic. Love your analysis videos!
0:46 time stamp… lesson learned. Emphasis eyebrow flash indicated by you leading into the statement regarding your body language library. Thank you Spidey👍😀
With every video, I love this channel more and more! ❤ I love the focus on teaching to understand body language rather than just, "Look at my analysis. Isn't body language cool?" It _is_ but I love learning _why_ .
Grumbl, some dude was posing as spidey again, reported him. If a replie to you goes missing, you know why 😊
@@marjoleinewelters1728 Thanks for that! Noticed that reply in my notifications and reported it too. I really appreciate you taking the time to let me know. What a nice person you are!
Awe, thank you for saying that. You are very kind yourself 🤗.
This is awesome thank you for making up a separate library
I love this idea Spidey!!! Thank you so much!!!!!!!!
Thank you for creating the library.
Body language is powerful!
For me it goes back to evolution and human instinct. Yes it is about focusing attention, in order to increase the glare when looking at threatening animals or other humans that might be looking directly at you, in order to let them know you are looking directly at them in a heightened fashion and are ready to defend yourself. To ready for attack or defence. It has evolved since then into modern human behaviour and human to human communication.
Yes.
I would love to see a video with your tips on how to prepare for interviews and talk to the media!
I'm in awe by your "attention" and care for this here public commentary and how it influences you to be an effective behavioral science communicator.
This is a great example of how beautiful critical thinking can be, I mean, is it not considered an artform?
Thank you for your wonderful content and your engagement 😘
Eliza, ive reported the dude trying to pose as spidey. So if a comment is missing, youll know why 😘
@@marjoleinewelters1728 -SAME!! I've reported his channel and am now hitting EACH of his comments with the report button! Sumbitch. 🙄 Do NOT mess with our Spidey!!!
@@KellieEatsCrayons love it! Good job kellie! This community sure has some strong participants in it 😄😘
wow..as of my message, you have 777K subbs... thats a good sign lol
Yes. Spidey is smart, fair, a first-class teacher, and intelligent.
I would definitely take a course from Spidey
More in the library please..it's great
Spidey, yesterday I viewed an interview with Heather Daybell, the sister-in-law of Chad Daybell. It was 5 hours long. Boy oh boy, was she expressive with the eyebrows, mouth, hands....it was all there. So, I realized that I've forever changed the way I take in an interview thanks to you. I felt I had a deeper understanding of what was really being communicated. Thing is I felt like I was seeing raised eyebrows paired with other things, and I wondered if that was what you mean by clusters? Would you be receptive to explaining clusters in more depth?
I have bushy brows
That's why I like that ever more emoticons have eyebrows put on them. It makes them way more specific.
Almost every time you talk about the raised eyebrows when analyzing people in videos, I laugh to myself because I'm a very animated speaker. My hands go all over the place (I have lots of energy, too) and I know my eyebrows are just as animated as my hands! I used to tell my inmates "I don't have 'resting-bitch-face' ... I have 'active-bitch-face'. This thing (pointing to my face) has exclamation points!" Geezzz. ;)
Awesome! A Body Language Library!! I can throw away all my notebooks! JK, I never do that 😀
I would love to see a video on the World Cup - lots of interesting things going on there, especially in the Uruguay x Ghana match with the upsetting ref calls, legendary goals, etc.
I really didn't know this kinds of stuff such amazing
Great idea!! There is so much amazing content allready but to have the deepdives listed in short but sweet vids. Cool!
Spotted. Reported. 4 times. And mentioned it. 🙃
@@marjoleinewelters1728 -- SAME!! I think I'm up to at least 20 times and still going. Plus I flagged his channel directly. Bastard. Don't mess with our Spidey!! Grrrrrrrr!!
@@KellieEatsCrayons awesome how much you care. 🤗
@@KellieEatsCrayons I'm also going through and reporting each instance. This makes me so angry.
@@janavos9901 -- awesome!! Thank you!
I love your Chanel 🤞
love youre videos, you should do a video on Cristiano Ronaldo with his interview with piers morgan. The full interview is out this thursday.
Love your videos. This may be a little different but can you do an analysis video to the Love is Blind S3 reunion? This may require you to watch season 3 but I am sooo interested to see what you think about some of the body language from almost all of the people/couples in the reunion.
I thought i heard it could mean anger too, but you mentioned it with a parent's disapproval
My natural concentrating face is with a frown - so I taught myself as a counsellor to raise my eyebrows when listening carefully, becauses I learned that people were frightened of me otherwise.
Like you are amazing... Thank you so much.
Really interesting. This must be why we still have hair growing on our eyebrows, to accentuate them.
If you are into interesting eyebrows, do a video outlining Emilia Clarke's face. Not as Danerys, just while she's being interviewed. I swear I just watch her eyebrows while she's talking. It's mesmerizing 😂
I happen to have a " you're full of $h!t " brow movement. It's when my right eyebrow goes up and my left one goes down at the same time 😂 kinda like The Rock ( Dwayne Johnson )
Can't help myself. I work with a lot of people and I hear a lot of strange things 😂
would love to see this for the de-escalation segment from the pre-aggression video
First, let me say I am a HUGE fan of your channel and your in depth analyses. Forgive me if this request is out of place but I wanted to ask if you would consider an analysis of the Mike Pence ABC interview that came out at the top of this week. I found myself calling out lip compressions, pacifying gestures, and blinkrates in my mind as I was watching and I would love to hear your thoughts.
Thank you for all that you do!
I LOVE the library plan, thank you that will be awesome.
I’d like to know a bit more about the single eyebrow raise. For those of us who can do it, I tend to know I do it as an inquiry to know more info. As in, I’m communicating “oh?? Do tell!”
Be interested in the nuance between the two - single vs double - from your professional perspective.
Great question. There is almost no circumstance nor any instance I can remember (and I say almost because I don’t like to speak in absolutes) where I’ve seen a single eye brow that was not intentional. We very rarely display emotions asymmetrically, very few exceptions and eyebrows isn’t one of them. If one eyebrow is going up I can ask if guarantee the person is doing it on purpose to signal curiosity, skepticism or something along those lines. It’s not an unconscious gesture.
Do a video on why peoples jaw drops when they are surprised or attracted to someone?
How about the single raised eyebrow for sarcasm and disbelief?
Love your videos, they've really taught me alot and as a sports fan, I would really love to see your take on the Cristiano Ronaldo interview.
Love from Malaysia! 💕
Great video as always!
It would also be great to see you cover Cristiano Ronaldo’s interview with Piers Morgan. It’s drawing alot of attention and I’m sure you will be able to capture a lot from this and feedback.
The interview will be available over the next couple of days.
Good idea with the body language library. I bet you’re tired of explaining a duchenne smile in great detail everytime.
Although when someone random hears “eyebrow flash” and “eyebrow raise”, I don’t think people associate it with being one and the same sign.
But an eyebrow flash consists of the raising of the eyebrow or eyebrows, it’s kind of confusing, because it’s not necessarily a sign of surprise. Because it could mean “I got my eyes on you” or “I see you” but doesn’t that come with a head jerk motion? I think I’d express that with a raise of the entire head or some head tilt. And isn’t it both the eyebrows, so “eyebrows flash”? But then when we hear “eyebrows flash” it sounds a lot like “eyebrow flash”
Anyway, great video, thanks. It’s great that we get visual examples.
obsessed with your videos!!!! Not sure how to make a request.....Can you PLEASE do the Mike Pence interview?? I saw so much of what you talk about!!
Nice!
Questions:
1. Are we going to see more of your magic and/or hypnotism?
2. May I use your video (or some parts of it) regarding reading aggression?
hey :)
1. Not on this channel, magic and hypnosis is all on the other channel (SpideyHypnosis) I haven't uploaded there in a while because I'm focusing on this channel, but i've been thinking about what I want to do on there, time will tell.
2. of course :)
@@TheBehavioralArts thank you kindly Spidey
Sometimes you make me thing that the only real control we have over our faces is moving our eyes and opening our mouths. Mainly because it seems like emotions hijack the face so much.
Love your work on RDJr. Next *please* do David Muir's 11/14 interview with former VP Mike Pence!
My eyebrows go up when I disbelieve what someone is saying.
Can you do a section on baseline. Like how to baseline different things to look for. On the behavior panel one was ask someone to think of 4 words from there favorite song n pay attention to where they look (chases words find there " home") maybe some other ways to baseline someone
Would’ve been great to analyze the guy at the end, with white hair. He gives a death stare of disappointment at the interviewer at the end
Thanq
Raised eyebrows are also more friendly looking than the scowl or the blank expression.
Spidey! We need a dissection of D. Brooks personal impact statement from his sentencing... also his reactions watching the victims impact statements...👀
Check my community post from yesterday. I will not be covering impact statements for a few reasons. I explained it in the community post
@@TheBehavioralArts my apologies i didnt see it! Thanks for always being respect I appreciate it💛 keep being great!
Which makes folks with botox seem unresponsive at times.
Question: how does autism, injury or drug abuse affect these behaviors? Can one determine what injury/etc is affecting behavior?
Thanks
I haven't watched yet but I've noticed with some people who are really controlled can use their eyebrows in stead of their mouth when expressing contempt. They sometimes tilt the head and tighten the lips slightly.
What do you think?
I wonder if he ever watches an asmondgold video, where Zack's eyebrows go insane every time, how he will react. 😆
Great, Great idea! Love it! Also, I'm not a crypto investor, but with what has happened with Sam Bankman-Fried and how many people he has fooled, I was wondering if an analysis of body language and statement analysis could be of any value or not. Could an investor have avoided losing his money if he had known body language? I have seen, only, part of an interview, from a month ago, on nbc, and the fidgeting was amazing. Thank you, anyway, because your work and honesty it's illuminating. (And, also, forgive if my grammar is not a very good one. I don't like how some of these phrases sounds, but I don't know how to correct them).
I'm really expressive with my eyebrows (unintentionally), my father once said that "he could know what I was thinking just by looking at them" ahah
Hey Spidey. I had a question. Do wrinkles help you establish a baseline for people? If so, how?
I used to have a mono brow
Same. ;)
Everyone should rewatch Ben King’s testimony in the Depp/Heard trial. So many seriously interesting and funny eyebrow raises from him the whole way through.
Melinda Ozel
Can you do a video on lip compression and what it means when someone does lip compression well moving the mouth please and thank you
When I play Goal Shooter while playing netball, a player I have been playing with for years knows where I want her to throw me the ball by a simple raise of my eyebrows.
Could you react to Love is Blind S3 reunion? Fans are concerned about Colleen's marriage to Matt Bolton based on their body language!
why do I lift my left eyebrow every time I learn something newww!!
I think that the alien one would be good here
You should do a show on Tyler Henry or whatever his name is to determine if he is really a medium or if he is using mentalist skills... please please please
Hi spinae, this is off-topic I’m not sure how to get a hold of you but I have a question maybe you would want to give your input on a movie The Forth Kind, I would like you to analyze this film and the actual footage of the woman that’s telling the story about these aliens. Maybe analyze whether she’s telling the truth or not or what you think about it the movie I mean. It’s supposed to be based on a true story it was very riveting and haunting. Thank you sorry for the off-topic
Video idea: jimmy Fallon does a segment called true confessions. I think it would be really cool if you tried to guess if he and his guests are lying or telling the truth.
What if the raised brows aren't a flash, but are held continuously as the person is speaking?
The conversational context, as well as I can recall, has usually been when the person is telling a story or discussing a point he feels enthusiasm for. These two contexts would fit in with the eyebrow flash, but the continuous upraised brows are something I have seen only in this one person. Thanks for any insights.
I can't speak to that other person, but I've noticed I have continuously raised eyebrows when I'm hearing something that has spiked my interest and the story maintains that level of high, in-depth attention throughout. I don't know if it matters, but I have ADHD, which makes focusing and even being interested in things very difficult, so when my interest is triggered, I'm all in! That may explain the eyebrows.
I do this when I'm super excited to share whatever it is I'm saying, especially when I know someone well
Hope you can do upcoming Cristiano Ronaldo interview next. Might be interesting. Alot of media had been critical on him all across Europe. Sounds fun to see if he is lying or making up any of it.
Does raising eyebrows, and keeping them up for around 2-5 secondscount as an eyebrow flash?
I'm asking because despise/disapproval wasn't amonng the reasons for eyebrow flashes, and I'm wondering if that's because flashes are only those under a second up and immediately downmoves, or maybe some other reason.
