Q

Cultural relativist position

A

Mead, Bird

Q

Components of Neuro cultural theory

A
  1. Elicitors= events that stimulate emotion in the human brain ( mostly cultural specific)
    - ex) watch a sad movie, we feel sad; see ex lover with someone else
    — culture specific but some universal
    - ex of universal) loss of loved one
    2 affect program = universal emotion (=hardwired); emotional response
    - triggered by elicitor (=biological element)
  2. Consequences (emotional arousal) = “what are you going to put on your face”
    - mix of biology and culture
    - ex) feel fear but won’t show it

Social presence theory

A

Text based messages deprive us of the sense that a warm body is jointly involved in the interaction. If we don’t feel anyone is actually there, our communication becomes impersonal, individualistic, and task-oriented

Key ideas of SIP

A

Verbal cue of affinity replace nonverbal cues
- self disclosure, praise, statements of action
This requires extended interaction time (4:1 ratio)

Steps of cognitive valence theory

A 
Step 1: immediacy behaviors
Step 2: arousal
Step 3: cognitive schemata
- the knowledge we all have that help us interpret others behavior and help us make some sense of what behaviors are appropriate for a given situation or relationship 
Step 4: valence
Step 5: relational outcomes

    • f more likely to make association between intimate touch and emotional intimacy
    • M can experience intimate touch and not necessarily Feel intimate
72
Q

76
Q

Persuasion and vocalics

  • limiting nonfluencies (umm, uhh)
  • using powerful speech = nonverbal and verbal
  • – powerless: tag question (make a statement and throw a question on the end of it); hedges&qualifiers (“sort of”); everything you say has a rising inflection
77
Q

Persuasion and haptics
