(Ekman and Friesen) Style of Facial Expressions
6 consistent facial styles |
|
Definition
The styles are heavily based on personal display rules.
1- The withholder: The face inhibits expressions of actual feeling states. There is little facial movement.
2- The revealer: Opposite of the withholder. There is little doubt about what the revealer is feeling all the time.
3- The unwitting Expressor. The person shows expressions even though he/she tried to mask it.
4- The blanked expressor. The person is convinced he/she is expressing a certain emotion, but others only see a blank face.
5- The substitute expressor. The person is expressing an emotion other than the one h/she thinks is being displayed.
6- The frozen-Affect expressor. This style shows at least a part of an emotional display at all times. This a pemanent expression. |
