Describe and give examples of three categories of movement and gestures identified by Ekman and Friesen.

On May 08, 2024


-Emblems are nonverbal cues that have specific,generally understood meanings in a given culture and may substitute for a word or phrase.
-An example would be when a parent puts up a finger to his or her pursed lips to indicate to a child to stop talking.
-Illustrators are nonverbal behaviors that accompany a verbal message and either contradict,accent,or complement it.
-An example would be when a professor slams a book on the desk while proclaiming,"I don't want to read this anymore!"
-Regulators are nonverbal messages that help to control the interaction or flow of communication between two people.
-An example would be when you are eager to respond to a message,you make eye contact,raise your eyebrows,open your mouth,put up your index finger,and lean forward slightly.
-Affect displays are nonverbal behaviors that communicate emotions.
-For example,when you are feeling friendly,you use a soft tone of voice,an open smile,and a relaxed posture.
-Adaptors are nonverbal behaviors that satisfy a personal need and help a person adapt or respond to the immediate situation.
-When you adjust your glasses,scratch a mosquito bite,or comb your hair,you use movement to help manage your personal needs and "adapt" to your surroundings.
-Student examples will vary.
