This article mainly caught my attention because of the quote "there is profound agreement that the face, along with the voice, body posture and hand gestures, forecast to outside observers what people will do next." Later in the article Alan Fridlund, PhD, of the University of California, Santa Barbara, goes on to explain how the face affects our social interaction comparing it to a switch on a railroad track. Just this week I evaluated myself after being presented with a huge task at work with an extremly small time frame. My first nonverbal reaction was, like most people do, widen their eyes with amazement. But as I tried not to show this expression to a superior I felt more motivated that I could get this job done. Not allowing myself to get intimidated in front of them, did allow me to be successful later.
