  1. Emotion

  2. Physiological Responses and Facial Expressions *Heart rate, breathing rates, and perspiration don’t differ greatly between emotions. *Facial expressions & brain activity are a different story however….. *Research show there are at least 10 basic emotions which are recognized cross culturally: Joy, interest-excitement, surprise, sadness, anger, disgust, contempt, fear, shame, and guilt

  3. Culture & Emotions *Most facial expressions are universally recognized across cultures *blind children (who have never seen the expressions of others) smile when happy, cry when sad, etc. *Facial expressions such as surprise & disgust likely serve (or served) physiological functions

  4. Culture & Emotions *The more individuality is stressed in a culture, the more emotion is generally expressed by its people.

  5. Gender & Emotions *Women are more easily able to recognize emotional cures. Women are also more descriptive when discussing emotions. *Anger is more often considered a male emotion -When people are shown a gender neutral face it is more often perceived as female when a smile is show and male when anger is expressed.

  6. Gender & Emotions *Women are generally more empathetic -both in self-reporting & with physiological measures

  7. Facial Feedback & its Effects Facial Feedback Effect- the tendency of facial muscle states to trigger corresponding feelings of fear, anger, or happiness * In other words, our facial expressions amplify our actual emotion so forcing a smile when feeling sad will likely make us feel better!

  8. Emotional Intelligence Emotional Intelligence- the ability to perceive, understand, manage, and use emotions. *Often times, “EQ” may be a better indicator of future success than “IQ” Psychologists John Mayer, Peter Salovey, and David Caruso developed measures of EQ

  9. EQ is measured by…. • Perceiving emotions (to recognize in faces, music, and stories) • Understanding emotions (to predict them and how they change and blend) • Managing emotions (to know how to express them in varied situations) • Using emotions to enable adaptive or creative thinking
