Facial Expressions
- We use our faces to express how we’re feeling!
- Facial expressions can be the most obvious social cues. It’s hard to hide an emotion when it’s “written all over your face.”
Body Language
Body Language
- Sometimes an emotion is so strong, it affects our body.
- Body language can be involuntary or done on purpose.
- Examples: slump our shoulders when tired, shrug when we don’t know an answer or add a skip to our step when we’re happy)
Voice, Pitch, and Tone
When we need to get something important across, we talk quickly.
Certain moods call for high or low voices and fast or slow speech.
When we ask a question, we raise the pitch of the last word or two.
