KINESICS - Double handshakes
These are also happening with a great deal of regularity. A few of the gestures fall under the intimate level of relationship and may not be useful in business and formal arena. A few well-known ones are:
(a) Glove (politician) handshake
The gesture means that the receiver of handshake holds your hand with both the hands. The person is trying to give the impression that he is sincere and trustworthy. However, if this is done with someone who is not known, the person should become cautious and suspicious.
(b) Left hand on the wrist while shaking with the right hand
The left hand is used to show sincerity, trust, and depth of feeling.
(c) Left hand on the forearm near the elbow while shaking with the right hand
Higher the level of the point at which the left hand is while shaking with the right hand, more intimate and intense are the feelings being conveyed.
(d) Left hand on the upper arm while shaking with the right hand
This takes the handshake into the area of the personal/intimate zone. It may not be used in business and other similar interactions.
(e) Left hand on the shoulder while shaking with the right hand
This takes the person into a more personal and intimate zone.
