What are Emotions? More than just feelings Internal feelings and feelings associated with a relationship “orients us to, and engages us with, what matters in our lives…” Can be experienced as a blend of emotions
Real Feelings vs. Manufactured Feelings Part of some scholars’ definition (e.g. Buzzanell & Turner, 2003; Tracy, 2005) Examples of Manufactured Feelings?

How to Communicate Emotions? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CfXTcycZu1k • Verbal Cues • Often indirect cues • Examples: sarcasm, rhetorical questions • Nonverbal Cues • Facial expressions among most common • Also consider paralanguage • Combinations of Cues • Movie Clip (Wedding Scene, Sex and the City 1)
Application Exercise Observe two different encounters between 2 individuals (in person or in media): • An encounter between 2 different sexes (male/female) • An encounter between the same sex (male/male or female/female) To help distinguish between their verbal cues and their nonverbal cues, try watching certain parts without volume. Also, remember to focus on how they communicate emotions (and responses to others’ emotions) (1) Discuss how the individuals used nonverbal and verbal communication to communicate their emotions. (2) Also consider (and discuss) their (male vs. female; encounter 1 vs. encounter 2) responses to each other’s emotions. (3) What differences (if any) did you notice about their (male vs. female; encounter 1 vs. encounter 2) emotional display? (4) What similarities (if any) did you notice about their emotional (5) Discuss the context of the situation; do you think that impacted your findings? How? You MUST use terminology from the text/chapter. Format: minimum of 2 paragraphs; typed

What influences emotional communication? • Context • Feeling rules • Emoticons (for online environments) • Meta-Emotion • Culture • The way cultures think about emotion • The way cultures communicate emotion • Gender and Sex • Stereotypes attached to gender and sex • Women/femininity = more expressive; agree? • Influence of age
