Description
Emotion is a topic typically covered in graduate curricula for psychologists, but when this topic is covered, the information provides general theoretical knowledge about emotion, its nature and functions.
However, graduate curricula generally do not provide instruction on the specific nonverbal behavior that empirical research has documented to validly and reliably express emotions beyond general descriptions of faces, nor about the effects of cultural display rules on emotional expressions or microexpressions.
Graduate curricula also do not typically provide specific guidelines as to what to do after having read emotions in others.
Because post-doctoral level psychologists interact with others on a face-to-face basis, acquiring the skill of how to read facial expressions of emotion and other nonverbal behavior, and then having a conceptual framework concerning what to do with that information when obtained, can be utilized by psychologists in the development of rapport, trust, and collegiality, and to gain further insights into the mindsets of their clients.
To our knowledge, there is currently no specific training that teaches doctoral-level psychologists on how to read facial expressions of emotion on individuals from different ethnic, racial and cultural backgrounds.
This APA approved continuing education course addresses this important and specific need.
Learning Objectives
(1) Describe and identify major differences between micro and macro facial expressions of emotion.
(2) Define and list major differences between referential, deliberate, and spontaneous facial expressions of emotion.
(3) Recite the specific anatomical characteristics of each of the seven universal facial expressions of emotion that occur on the face.
(4) Demonstrate the ability to recognize facial expressions of emotion that last less than half a second on the face (microexpressions) proficiently on individuals that represent a wide demographic of ages, genders and ethnicities.
