CS202 Chapter Notes - Chapter 5: Emotional Contagion, Ingroups And Outgroups
Document Summary
Several studies have shown that various emotions such as sadness, anger, and happiness can be accurately identified by a person"s gait. Gestures perform many intrapersonal and interpersonal functions. Gestures help speakers retrieve certain words or describe objects that move as part of their function thus serve a greater intrapersonal function. Listeners may benefit more from a speakers gesture when these gestures add emphasis or clarity to speech. Speech-independent gestures are also known as emblems or autonomous gestures. Gestures not limited to a specific task. Commonly thought of as a form of communication for the hearing impaired. They are used in other areas, however: religious orders where a vow of silence is taken, social situations where some are forbidden to speak to others. Are directly tied to or accompany speech. Gestures related to the speakers referent, concrete or abstract. Gestures indicating the speaker"s relationship to the referent. Gestures that act as visual punctuation for the speaker"s discourse.
