Rear view mirror syndrome: mcluhan: the tendency for people to look backwards when dealing with the present. Do not have meaning on their own. Ex. shaking your fist angrily while yelling. Body movements designed to control the flow of conversation. Characterize turn taking: the process of deciding who will speak at any given time during a conversation. Adaptors/ manipulators: relieving tension and satisfying body needs. Nonverbal messages that convey information about our emotional state. Ex. we see physically attractive people as more likeable. Agreeableness: the perceived warmth and friendliness of a person, we place most emphasis on this. First impressions find their origins in stereotypes.
