Document Summary

Lec 4: ch 5 - self presentation and self. Verbal and nonverbal communication of interest in another person. Sex, relationship, for the sake of it (eg to see if i still got it) Humans are not unique in this way. Most people flirt using subtle cues (ie nonverbal cues) Gaze, body posture, facial expressions, touch, grooming gestures. These cues are ambiguous, which allows people multiple interpretations. Allows both parties to save face in case there is no sexual interest. Women: use gaze, touch, facial expressions, and grooming gestures. Disinterested women: stop flirtatious non-verbal behaviours early in interaction. Disinterested men: slowed at stopping nonverbal flirtation. The same male actors played sexy-cad and good dad roles for the counterbalancing of conditions. Sexy-cad: made statements and displayed mannerisms that show charisma, confidence and social dominance, came across as unreliable and undependable. Good-dad: came across as reliable, caring, family oriented, wanting a committed relationships; did not show charisma of confidence.
