Welcome to a new series: Psychology Terms Made Easy! 🙌 We’ll be breaking down the terms we use for concepts we study in the lab. First up: nonverbal encoding! 🎭 Flip through the slides to see an explanation of this concept, and an example of when you would be encountering nonverbal encoding in the real world!
Shout out to Honours student Sarah Robichaud for her work in creating this installment of #PTME! What terms do you want us to tackle next? 😁
How do other people know when we're feeling angry or upset? 🎭 Beyond the words we use to communicate, our nonverbal cues (like our facial expression, or the tone of voice we use) can also help others to understand how we are feeling. What we say is only one piece of the puzzle... the way we say something also matters! #nonverbal #communication (Thanks to Daniel Nault & Jay Burns for creating these slides!)
If you’ve been following us for a while, you have probably heard us talk about “nonverbal cues”. Have you ever wondered what that meant? 🤔 We in the DSEC Lab are particularly interested in understanding how we use nonverbal cues to express our emotions to others, and to make sense of other people’s emotions. Former directed lab student Rafaela Platkin put this post together to explain what nonverbal cues are, and why they are important! ✨ What questions do YOU have about nonverbal cues? Let us know in the comments below! 👋
