Name and give examples of three of the five categories of movement and gestures identified by Ekman and Friesen
What will be an ideal response?
Answer:
• 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.
