OCG Week2

Status card game
People with very high status are coservative and closed-off.
- no eye contact
- eyes are distant, not really looking at anyone
- hands in pocket
- composed expressions
- heads held high (condescending)

People with medium-high status tend to be more proud and their gestures are more open. They have more people surrounding them.
- open, friendly, smiling
- eye contact
- holds head up
- arms by side, relaxed
These features make them seem more composed and that they hold a higher status by behaving less nervous.

People with lower status try to gain approval from others. They can be more withdrawn and hide from everyone else.
- folded arms to show that they're closing off other people (protective)
- hunched shoulders (closing in)
- hands in pockets
- looking down and avoiding eye contact
- when walking, tend to be quicker, nervous steps
