CS202 Lecture : Lecture Feb 7th Facial Expressions - Body Languages
Document Summary
Cs202 class four or five week of feb 7. Definitions (4-5 of 6-8) relate it to other concepts, two short answers about one page long, and finally one of two essay questions. About an hour and half to do it. Facial expressions that convey emotional mood and reaction. Less under our conscious control than emblems. May reinforce, augment or contradict verbal messages. Affect displays vary from culture to culture and are governed by display rules that are product of socializations. Display rules are culturally influenced, learned behaviour. We learn that some affect displays are more appropriate than others. Social contact is an important determinant of what display rules are used. De-intensified: strong surprise becomes weak surprise, control with what you are doing. Neutralize an affect: do not express what you are feeling, like you will not laugh at a funeral.
