Daniel Blog: Facial Expression

Facial Expressions

Hi everybody I hope you’re having a wonderful day , lets get started with this week post, in the last post I talked about gestures, the definition of gesture , what type of gestures exists and some examples. After that I decided that this post could be dedicated to more examples and to talk of some specific type of gestures; facial expressions.

Facial Expressions are used to regulate the interaction between two people and to reinforce the message send to the receiver. Many investigations have determined that they are 6 types of facial expressions, the official ones who indicate feelings ; Joy, sadness, disgust, anger, fear and interest. These feelings can be always recognized when we see them in somebody else.

During non-verbal communication is impossible to avoid facial expression because they reflect our mood, we need to have control of this facial expressions a exaggerated expression could be perceive like a mock and a lack of facial expression can be perceive as lack of interest.

If you want to handle a debate or control a situations through facial expression is always recommended to use the opposite expression of the people your communicating with for example: If your arguing with someone that is nervous and tense, you should use a relax aspect.

But there´s some facial expression that serve to communicate much more things that cant be recognized so easily. So I’m going to give you some example and maybe this will be useful for you in the future.

I’m enchanted of seeing you: (Quick eyebrows movements from the top to the bottom this gesture served with a smile)

I’m listening: (Slightly bowed head to a side).

I would love to give more examples but I didn’t found more so here´s the first blog activity. I need your participation so I’m going to put these gifts below and if you feel like it comment to describe what does the next facial expressions reflect to you. I´ll give it a try but I’m not sure if I’m correct.
