They also showed pictures in which angry or scared faces were paired with angry or scared bodies |
It's natural to greet friends with a smile and a wave. {#blank#}1{#/blank#} But what happens if your face and body send mixed messages? Would someone be more likely to believe the look on your face or the way you hold your body?
Scientists have recently tackled these questions. They found that when a person is looking at your face, she might not believe what she sees if your body language doesn't match the feeling that your face shows.
{#blank#}2{#/blank#} Previously, they had found that the tone of a person's voice can be more important than the words that are spoken. For example, most people tend not to believe a person who says in a flat voice, "I'm so excited."
When it came to emotions conveyed by facial expressions and body language, most scientists suspected that the face was more important. To test if this was true, psychologists showed people a number of pictures of isolated (孤立的) faces and isolated bodies (with faces blurred out (模糊的) that showed anger or fear. {#blank#}3{#/blank#}
An angry face had low eyebrows and tight lips. A scared face had high eyebrow and a slightly open mouth. {#blank#}4{#/blank#} A scared body had arms forward and shoulders square, as if ready to defend.
These results told the researchers that mixed signals can confuse people. Even when people pay attention to the face, body language subtly (微妙地) influences which emotion they read.
{#blank#}5{#/blank#} If you want to be understood, it helps to avoid sending mixed messages.
