cultural display rules

unspoken rule you learn from your culture

- some cultures teach you to suppress negative emotions

- some teach that smiling is bad

real vs fake smiles

real= Duchenne

fake= pan am

attributional theories

love on the bridge

-People walked across the brige,

They were approached by an attractive

Female. She asked them questions

And then gave them her phone number

People sat on a bench next to the

Bridge, but didn't walk across it

She did the same thing, but less

Of them call.

unconscious influences

variables outside our awareness that can affect our feelings

mere exposure

the phenomenon that repeated exposure to novel stimuli increases liking of them

--habituation and familiarity- hear music on the radio, you don't like it at first but the more you listen, the more you like it.

facial feedback

the effect of facial expressions on experienced emotions, as when a facial expression of anger or happiness intensifies feelings of anger or happiness

--Would altering your face change your interpretation of the situation?

lying detection

-Many stereotypes not predictive: anxiety and shifty eyes

-- people tend to be overconfident at detection

i.e. a police officer will say they are good at telling when someone is lying, but they are actually not better than anyone else- they just believe they are better at it.

polygraph

not very valid: high false positive rate

They do not measure accurately- why you cannot use them in court
