General Idea

To look at dimensions that underlie communication styles and to look at differences among men and women with more complexity than "they're supposed to be different". Compare particularly with the information in the communication and emotion reading (pp. 545-546 in Stress chapter may also help). We will focus on expressing and reading other's emotions. Look at information on expressing emotions and who expresses which emotions more easily.

For each emotion listed below, think of the last time you felt it and write a couple of sentences or phrases about the situation that brought it on:

• • angry
• • irritated
• • sad
• • sorrow (as in "I'm sorry to hear about your troubles.")
• After you guess at the emotions in the pictures, jot down something about your process: how you figured out which was which.

Help in writing report:

1. Background and concepts:

Describe procedures in terms of parts of an emotion, how people express emotion, possible gender differences for being able to EXPRESS and READ OTHER's emotions and reasons why, and universal emotions. How well did process of creating pictures capture parts of an emotion?

2. Data:

Include tables. Mark correct & incorrect answers.

3. Summarize Data

Include percentages by gender of person in picture, by gender of person reading other's emotion.

Who was more detectable? Which emotions were more detectable? Was the same emotion easily detectable in men and women? Include percentages by universal and non-universal emotions.

Look at notes: what did people notice as they detected emotions? Did people who got more correct emotions look at different things than those who didn't do well?

4. Evaluate Data

Relate gender differences to evidence in textbook.

Does data support idea of universal emotions?
