  12. Image analysis • Now we will go back to the first picture and discuss what your group believes was being communicated by each couple. • How can we come to the conclusions that we do simply based on a photograph?

  13. Fake Smiles • As a class we will complete an online activity trying to better understand genuine and fake facial expressions • Brainstorm with your groups for each video clip whether or not you think the smile is real of fake. (The answers will be at the end) • http://www.bbc.co.uk/science/humanbody/mind/surveys/smiles/index.shtml

  14. Mehrabian’s Rule • Brainstorm- What are the necessary elements to communication? • Discuss • Face to Face communication regarding feeling and attitude: • Words (Verbal) • Tone of Voice (Vocal) • Body Language (Visual)

  15. Mehrabian’s Rule • Brainstorm- How much do each of the elements account for the meaning of a message? • Results • Words 7% • Tone of Voice 38% • Body Language 55% • Therefore, effective communication can result in the congruency of these three elements • “Incongruence” can look like: • Verbal: "I do not have a problem with you!" • Non-Verbal: person avoids eye-contact, looks anxious, has a closed body language, etc.

  16. Mehrabian’s Rule • You will now see a video analyzing body language. • While you watch the video take notes on the following: • How do people demonstrate power, discomfort, norms, resilience, image, etc. • Video on itunes TV Shows: The Secrets of Body Language
