Postural patterns in everyday life were observed in the Ryukyu Islands. Postures seem to have two dimensions. In one dimension, they consciously changed their posture in the same action according to situations. In the other dimension, they took a particular posture, e.g., sitting with one knee raised, in different actions. The former may be related to the communicative aspect of posture, while the latter to the technical aspect of posture. Further, some postures, e.g., standing while deeply bending forward, could be regarded as techniques peculiar to their culture. The relation between culture and biology is also discussed with respect to postural patterns which may be related to the traditional lifestyle in Okinawa.
在琉球群岛观察了日常生活中的姿势模式。姿势似乎有两个维度。在一个维度上，他们在相同的动作中根据情况有意识地改变姿势。在另一个维度上，他们在不同的动作中采取特定的姿势，例如单膝抬起坐着。前者可能与姿势的交流方面有关，而后者与姿势的技术方面有关。此外，一些姿势，例如深深向前弯腰站立，可以被视为他们文化特有的技巧。还从可能与冲绳传统生活方式相关的姿势模式方面讨论了文化与生物学之间的关系。
