Body Language at the Second Presidential Debate

From The Washington Post:

It’s not our faces that tend to offer the strongest clues about what we are feeling, but rather our bodies. In fact, the more intense the emotion, the more difficult the human face becomes to read and the more telling and accurate body language seems to become. That’s what a team of Princeton University researchers found in a study published in the journal Science all the way back in 2013.

So, we checked in with two experts to help us decode some of each presidential candidate’s most common body language in high-stress moments. Both experts reviewed the photos below via email, without the photo captions. We’ve edited their comments for clarity and length. We put a special emphasis on identifying each of the candidates’ most common body language, particularly in stressful situations.
