As behavioral sciences develop, researchers find that the importance of speech has been overestimated. Though speech is the most obvious for of communication, it is not the only means by which we communicate. Speech is probably the most conscious way in which we communicate, but we do use other means, of which we may be only partially aware or, in some cases, completely unaware. It is possible that we are unconsciously sending out messages with our every action, messages which are also unconsciously picked up by observers and used in forming opinions. These unconscious actions and reactions to them on the part of others may in part account for the "love at first sight" and "snap judgments".
We communicate a great deal, the researchers have found, with our bodies the way we move, sit, stand and what we do with our hands and heads, for example. Imagine a few people sitting in a waiting room: one is drumming his fingers on his briefcase, another keeps rubbing his hands together, another is biting his fingernails, still another grasps the arms of his chair tightly and a final one keeps running his fingers over his air. These people aren’t talking, but they are "saying" a lot if you happen to know the "language" they are using.
Two of the most "telling" forms of behavior are driving a car and playing games such as card games or chess. It is interesting to note a person’s reaction to stress in these situations and to aggressive behavior in others. If he easily becomes angry, excited, passive or resentful when driving or playing, you may have a clue to his personality.
What does the phrase "account for" mean in the last sentence in the first paragraph?
