Facial Expressions- Ability to make and read these signals important for survival- Nearly universal recognition of these- 6 ”Basic” Emotions- Intensify- our expressions, exaggerating them so that we appear to be experiencing stronger feelings than we really are.- Minimize- trying to seem less emotional than we really are. “Big boys don’t cry”- Neutralize- trying to withhold our true feelings altogether.- Mask- our real feelings by replacing them with an entirely different apparent emotion (deception)- Micro expressions- authentic flashes of real emotion. Can be visible during momentary lapses of control.2.) Gaze- The visual Dominance Ratio- The percentage of when you are talking and looking at your conversation partner- Talking= 40%- Looking= 60%- Dominant partners in an interaction can insist, “Look at me when I’m talking to you!” but they often do not offer as much visual attention in return.These notes represent a detailed interpretation of the professor’s lecture.

Touch- Positive- supportive feelings such as love.- Sympathy- engender touches that are different from those that communicate disgust or anger.- Touching can clearly convey closeness and affection, and it can have healing properties.5.) Interpersonal Distance- The physical space that separates two people.- Intimate Zone- extends out from the front of our chests about a foot-and-a-half.- Personal Zone- ranges from 1 ½ to 4 feet away in distance. - Social Zone-interactions tend to be more businesslike. 4-12 feet away.- Public Zone-beyond 12 feet, interactions tend to be quite formal.6.) Paralanguage- All the variations in a person’s voice other than the actual words he/she uses, such as rhythm, pitch, loudness, and rate.- It doesn’t involve whatpeople say, but howthey say it!- Helps define relationships because lovers tend to talk to each other with differentrhythms than friends use.- Tone of voice- Emphasis of words (ex. Sarcasm)- Rate of
