Other people are not easy to figure out.
Why are they the way they are?
Why do they do what they do?
We all have a fundamental fascination with explaining other people’s behavior, but all we have to go on is observable behavior:
–
–
–
–
–
What people do
What they say
Facial expressions
Gestures
Tone of voice
Nonverbal Behavior
Nonverbal Communication
The way in which people communicate, intentionally or unintentionally, without words.
Nonverbal cues include:
• facial expressions
• tone of voice
• gestures
• body position/movement
• the use of touch
• gaze
Nonverbal Behavior
Some nonverbal cues actually contradict the spoken words.
• Communicating sarcasm is the classic example of verbal-nonverbal contradiction. • Think about how you’d say “I’m so happy for you” sarcastically.
Facial Expressions of Emotion
• Paul Ekman and others have conducted numerous studies indicating that the ability to interpret at least the six major emotions is cross-cultural—part of being human and not a product of people’s cultural experience.
Facial Expressions of Emotion
• Other emotions such as guilt, shame, embarrassment, and pride occur later in human development and show less universality.
• These latter emotions are closely tied to social interaction.
