*2. One forearm swinging vigorously while the other remains nearly still in comparison. (see high status gait video). This shifts most of the body's weight to one side forcing the person to have to slightly "bounce" on each step, creating a swaggering appearance. (The faster the walk the more the non-vigorous forearm swings, although this forearm should still noticeably lag behind the vigorous forearm.) | *2.

*3. the leg on the vigorous forearm side does not not bend at the knee, during extension and remains near stiff like a peg leg, while the other leg bends at the knee during the extension and extends further than the stiff leg (This is only when walking slowly! When walking fast the stiff leg should bend at the knee and extend, however, slightly less than the vigorous leg.) | *3. the leg on the vigorous forearm side does not not bend at the knee, during extension and remains near stiff like a peg leg, while the other leg bends at the knee during the extension and extends further than the stiff leg (This is only when walking slowly!

*4. A slight, twisting pelvis thrust to the left when, stepping and extending with the left leg, and a slight twisting pelvis thrust to the right when stepping and extending the right leg. (This is arguably the hardest pat of a max swaggering gait, as men only really pelvis thrust during masturbation, intercourse or when dancing. So a small pelvic thrust with each step is totally foreign to most men, and would likely be difficult for even the most co-ordinated of us.) | *4.

A study on body motion cues to predict the intentions of others was done to better understand how intentions and traits are perceived from body movement. The researchers conducted two experiments to investigate whether the perceived traits of actors could be determined from their body motion, and whether these traits were associated with their perceived intentions. They first recorded body motions from 26 professional actors, who were instructed to move in a “hero”-like or a “villain”-like manner. In the first experiment, 190 participants viewed individual video recordings of these actors and were required to provide ratings to the body motion stimuli along a series of different cognitive dimensions (intentions, attractiveness, dominance, trustworthiness, and distinctiveness). The intersubject ratings across observers were highly consistent, suggesting that social traits are readily determined from body motion. | A study on body motion cues to predict the intentions of others was done to better understand how intentions and traits are perceived from body movement.
