Relationships with a manipulator will not lead to anything good. You will have to face violation of personal space, problems with self-esteem, and other excesses.

But at first, feelings and emotions dissolve all the partner’s shortcomings, which is why not everyone and not immediately manages to understand what the meeting will turn out to be in the future.

However, American psychologists have come to the conclusion that it is not difficult to identify a manipulator.

The results of the work were published in the scientific journal Journal of Personality and Social Psychology.

Research by scientists

McGill University researchers conducted a series of unrelated studies involving more than 600 people.

All participants were asked to complete a questionnaire and also to attach personal photographs to the questionnaire showing their usual poses from four sides.

The photo was analyzed by AI, which identified key points on the human body.

What we managed to find out

It turned out that manipulators have special postures.

These people are used to sitting or standing with their legs wide apart.

Their body position indicates a high level of dominance and poorly developed empathy.

At the same time, these people showed a tendency to disregard moral standards.

However, scientists have not yet been able to explain the reason for this phenomenon.
