...Introduction According to Wikipedia, “a smile is a facial expression formed by flexing those muscles most notably near both ends of the mouth and is customarily an expression denoting pleasure, happiness or amusement.” Smiles according to Eric Jaffe begin in our sensory corridors often caused by little emotional data often felt in pleasant situations like when the ear collects a whispered word, the eyes spot an old friend on the station platform or the hand feels the pressure of another hand (Jaffe 2010). He goes ahead to describe the processes involved in smiling beginning with the emotional data that runs through and excites the left temporal region of the brain, then to the surface of the face where two muscles are roused into action: “The zygomatic major, which resides in the cheek, tugs the lips upward, and the orbicularis oculi, which encircles the eye socket, squeezes the outside corners into the shape of a crow’s foot. The entire event is short, typically lasting from two-thirds of a second to four seconds and those who witness it often respond by mirroring the action, and smiling back.” (Jaffe 2010). What if research were to show that the simple act of smiling at people can effect enormous positive changes in their lives and our lives too, just like Mahatma Gandhi said, “Be the change you want to see in the world,” smiling can positively affect everyone around. In this paper, I would be discussing, first the mimicry and emotional contagion of smiling and will finally...

...Non Verbal Communication Theories Goffman 1963 – eye contact is essential when assessing a stranger Argyle 1983 Eye contact can be an index of the clossness of the relationship people share Morris 1994 A smile can be a submissive move to show fear and avoid conflict. The frown and an unblinking stare shows one to be ready for a fight and to intimidate the other. Gestures, like language, can have their meaning changed over time. Alexander Technique – changes in breathing, posture can affect your physical and mental wellbeing Ekman & Friesen (1969) categorised non verbal communication into five categories Emblems, Illustrators, Affect Displays, Regulators and Adaptors. Ekman (2001) A smiling face does not always signal the experience of enjoyable emotions; people smile for many different reasons, for example to regulate conversation to mask other emotional states (e.g., anger or sadness), or to manipulate and deceive others. Darwin The expressions of emotions in Man and Animals (1872) – The same state of mind is expressed throughout the world with uniformity. Klienburg (1940) While some form of NVC are universal such as crying, laughing, and trembling expressions of anger, fear, disgust and sadness are not. Birdwhistle (1970) there are no universal symbols of emotional state. We can expect emotional expressions to be learned and patterned according to the particular structures of particular societies. Duchenne (1862) distinguished between different types of smile...

...Investigation Research In British Pantomime how might the actors playing the roles of Hansel and Gretel in the traditional tale, create the unique actor audience relationship that this theatrical genre relies on? What’s the relationship between actors and audience? In every theatrical performance the manner in which each individual actor treats the audience establishes, sustains or varies a particular kind of actor-audience relationship between them. In some plays all of the actors may adopt the same attitude towards the audience (for example, the entire cast of a production of a Chekhovian drama will usually ignore the audience until the curtain call); in other plays the performers create a range of different relationships towards the audience (for example, most Shakespearean dramas have certain characters who frequently adopt a downstage ‘platea’ playing position that is in direct contact with the audience, while other characters behave as if unaware of the audience’s presence). Audience is an essential part of the theatrical event. With the actor it comprises one of the two indispensable elements of theatre. There seems to be no dispute over this fact. Yet the audience is the most elusive element of the theatre to deal with, source material is scarce and complex; it does not submit to simple analysis or definition. Primary sources tend to mention curiosities connected with the extravagant behavior of spectators, or to ignore the audience altogether. But in...

Stephen Porter* and Leanne ten Brinke University of British Columbia Okanagan, Kelowna, British Columbia, Canada In this paper, we provide our view of the current understanding of high-stakes lies often occurring in forensic contexts. We underscore the importance of avoiding widespread pitfalls of deception detection and challenging prevailing assumptions concerning strategies for catching liars. The promise and limitations of each of non-verbal/body language, facial, verbal/linguistic, and physiological channels in detecting deception are discussed. In observing the absence of a single cue or behavioural channel that consistently reveals deception, a holistic approach with concurrent attention to multiple channels of a target’s behaviour (ideally videotaped for review) and changes from baseline behaviour is recommended whenever possible. Among the best-validated cues to be considered together include: illustrators, blink and pause rate, speech rate, vague descriptions, repeated details, contextual embedding, reproduction of conversations, and emotional ‘leakage’ in the face. While advocating a reliance on empirical evidence, we observe that few studies of high-stakes...

...ALSO BY MALCOLM GLADWELL The Tipping Point To my parents, Joyce and Graham Gladwell Introduction The Statue That Didn’t Look Right In September of 1983, an art dealer by the name of Gianfranco Becchina approached the J. Paul Getty Museum in California. He had in his possession, he said, a marble statue dating from the sixth century BC. It was what is known as a kouros—a sculpture of a nude male youth standing with his left leg forward and his arms at his sides. There are only about two hundred kouroi in existence, and most have been recovered badly damaged or in fragments from grave sites or archeological digs. But this one was almost perfectly preserved. It stood close to seven feet tall. It had a kind of light-colored glow that set it apart from other ancient works. It was an extraordinary find. Becchina’s asking price was just under $10 million. The Getty moved cautiously. It took the kouros on loan and began a thorough investigation. Was the statue consistent with other known kouroi? The answer appeared to be yes. The style of the sculpture seemed reminiscent of the Anavyssos kouros in the National Archaeological Museum of Athens, meaning that it seemed to fit with a particular time and place. Where and when had the statue been found? No one knew precisely, but Becchina gave the Getty’s legal department a sheaf of documents relating to its more recent history. The kouros, the records stated, had been in the private collection of a Swiss physician named Lauffenberger...

There are three basic types of learning. They are habituation, classical conditioning, and instrumental conditioning. Imagine a worm. When the tide is in, it comes out. It has extensions from its head, getting particles from the outside. So it comes out of its hole to snatch these particles. It has one fear though: seagulls. The worm is delicious to them. They see him and they eat him. The worm has a detection system wired in though. When there is a shadow, he ducks. It is a hard-wired reflex. Sometimes, however, shadows don’t mean a darn, like on a cloudy day. If it doesn’t come out because of the shadows, it will get nothing done and starve to death. Therefore, if the shadows are too frequent, it will ignore them. There...

...Chapter 1: Student Characteristics Understand Characteristics of Students with Disabilities Some students with disabilities pass through typical developmental milestones and express skills within an average range for their age group. Others show delayed growth at certain developmental milestones, and many students with disabilities experience challenges as they navigate through the school curriculum. It is critical that special education teachers know how to differentiate between typical individual differences among children without disabilities and differences that may indicate a disability that requires interventions and/or specialized designed instruction. In addition, special education teachers need to know the most common types of disabilities that students may experience and how those disabilities affect their ability to learn and their behavior in the classroom. Competency 1 thus focuses on the characteristics of typical and atypical human growth and development and the characteristics of students with various disabilities that special education teachers are likely to encounter. The test includes a wide range of multiple-choice questions that address Competency 1. * Questions on typical and atypical behaviors and abilities for children and adolescents at particular ages. * Questions on the types and characteristics of various disabilities. * Questions on the similarities and differences among students with and without disabilities. This competency encompasses...
