- *Emotional Awareness
- Unlike verbal communication or gestures, facial expressions are a universal system of signals which reflect the moment-to-moment fluctuations in a person’s emotional state.
- The face offers us the best window into the emotional lives of others. Regardless of culture, language, or personal background, we all share this common form of nonverbal communication.
- Become versed in reading faces, learning to recognize when an emotional response is beginning, when an emotion is being concealed, and when a person is unaware of what they are actually feeling.
- *Detect Deception
- When someone tries to conceal his or her emotions, leakage of that emotion will often be evident in that person’s face.
- The leakage may be limited to one region of the face (a mini or subtle expression), or may be a quick expression flashed across the whole face – known as a micro expression.
- At 1/25th of a second, micro expressions can be difficult to recognize and detect these important clues. Yet with training you can learn to spot them as they occur in real time.
