President Kennedy Facial Feedback

In 1924, Carney Landis set up an experiment to determine whether there is a common facial expression for each emotion that we experience. For example, is there a specific facial expression, used by everyone, for when we feel anger, fear etc? This became the aim of his work. At the time, Carney Landis was a graduate at the university of Minnesota thus the subjects of the experiment were mostly students (madsciencemuseum, 2011). There were 25 subjects in total; of that there were 12 women, 12 men and 1 boy aged 13 (Landis, 1924). Each person was taken into an experimental room and their faces were painted with black lines to allow Landis to clearly see the change in their expressions (madsciencemuseum, 2011). He photographed each change in expression as they reacted to each situation and he could refer to the black lines when analysing the photographs (madsciencemuseum, 2011). Apparatus was set up over 2 rooms; the first

     Through out the course of history, America has seen great Presidents. These men all exhibited characteristics which helped them to be successful in their endeavor to become the nations leader. Among those characteristics are traits such as being a good spokesperson or leader and being fair towards all which makes for a good President.

We would be able to ascertain Miss G’s emotional condition vis-à-vis the people and situations that make her stuck in her present state. Noting her responses and emotions can allow us to proceed to a more positive session of Regression.

Psychology has remained a progressive science due to the many contributions of influential leaders. In this paper I will mention three historical figures who I believe were important in the development of the field of psychology in the past and till this day. Paul Ekman is an American psychologist who became a pioneer in the study of emotions and their relation to facial expressions. He was born in 1934, Washington D.C., he graduated with a Ph. D in clinical psychology from the Adelphi University. Following his work in clinical psychology, he became a consultant in the Langley Porter Psychiatric Institute. Ekman is known as the “human lie detector” due to his expertise in the physiology of emotion, his ability to detect deception and his

The verbal component of the speech is completely correlated with gestures and facial expressions of the President. Therefore, speaking about the tragedy, the condolences to the families of the victims, Reagan made a small pause for greater effect creation. Reagan's face expressed feelings of grief and sorrow. Although when the president started talking about the need to be brave and resilient in such moments, his expression suddenly changed. There were visible sense of endurance and resistance to all adversity in his face.

John F. Kennedy was born in Brookline, Massachusetts on May 29, 1917, the second of nine children. He was a US statesman and our 35th president. He came from a family with a history of good politics. As an infant he lived in a comfortable but modest frame house in that suburb of Boston. As the family got larger and the father's income and fortune increased, the Kennedys moved to larger, more impressive homes. Their first home was in Brookline, followed by the suburbs of New York City. John F. Kennedy had a happy childhood that was full of family games and sports. He attended many different private elementary schools, which were all non parochial. He later spent a year at Canterbury School in New Milford,

The article, “Inside Kennedy’s legacy, 50 Years On” by Eleanor Clift addresses the legacy John Fitzgerald Kennedy left behind. The late president had taken office while the country was in civic unrest due to the Communist Party’s surge of power. The idealistic mark he left behind called for all persons of the world to assist each other and end poverty, tyranny, and violence.

“Ask not what your country can do for you—ask what you can do for your country”, John Fitzgerald Kennedy once said. John F. Kennedy was the 35th president of the United States. As a young democrat, Kennedy won the votes of the people with his promises of social justice. (John F. Kennedy, Web). Tragically- before even hitting 3 years in office- John F. Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas, Texas. Though his term wasn’t to the length he planned, the effects of what he did during his time as a president are lasting now over 50 years later. The major stepping stones taken by Kennedy helped out groups that needed it most. The laws John F. Kennedy passed in his short term in office had a positive influence on the future treatment of groups discriminated against in America by

John Fitzgerald Kennedy was born in Brookline, Massachusetts on May 29th 1917. He was the second oldest out of a total of nine siblings. John was named in honor of his grandfather John Francis Fitzgerald, the Boston Mayor popularly known as Honey Fitz. While growing up he had a strong influence from his family. Not only was his grandfather a politician, his mother was a Boston debutante and his father was a successful banker who made quite the money on stocks. As John grew older, he attended a boarding school for adolescent boys in Connecticut. Although he was known to have a "clever, individualist mind,” He wasn’t considered to be the best student. The only subjects he worked hard in were English and History.

Main Idea: Your physical expression and attitude can affect your mood. MSD: The act of maintaining a frown caused the students to feel angry. Those students induced to make a smiling face reported feeling happier and found cartoons more humourous. Half of the class felt different depending on what they were told to do.

John F. Kennedy, the 35th president of the United States, has become one of the most famous presidents in the nation's history due to his oratory skills and eloquence (Biane,2011). In this paper, we present an analysis the inaugural speech that he delivered in January 1961. Even though his Inaugural speech lasted less than fifteen minutes, the message that he saliently delivered was one that has continued to resonate in the very hearts of American citizens.

SPECIFIC AIM 3: To determine whether observing stress behaviors elicit activation in the emotional centers of the brain, thus producing an emotional stress response in the observer. Previous research suggests that observing an emotion (facial expressions, contagious yawning, etc.) can elicit brain activation concurrent with experiencing the emotion, specifically mirror neurons within the limbic system (i.e. empathy) (Iacoboni, 2009). If observing stress behaviors can elicit emotional responses in the observer, it suggests an explanation for the culture of stress that permeates college campuses and other stressful environments.

As indicated before, the human face is very expressive. This point combined with the fact that “the information relayed to the brain in visual presentations, 83% comes via the eyes, 11% via the ears, and 6% through the other senses.” (Ibid) leads us to the conclusion that facial expression in a performance plays a vital role in creating mutual feelings between the performer and audience. Hilborn used this technique to enhance his already well-established connection with the audience. His facial expression throughout the performance was precisely in line with the speaker’s feeling. Beginning from the initial incident, his face color and expression, relaxed facial muscles, steady gaze and a gentle smile, indicated calmness. This expression displayed the speaker’s true happiness in recalling his beloved and their first encounter. (Figure 7)

Paul Ekman was born in 1934 and at age 14 his mother committed suicide after suffering from severe bi-polar disorder. At that point, he decided he wanted to study facial expressions of emotion in order to assist other people before such tragic outcomes occurred. By the time he was 15, he had enrolled in University of Chicago and became interested in group therapy. He earned his Bachelor’s degree in 1954 and in 1958 he had earned his Ph.D. in clinical psychology at Adelphi University. His Master’s thesis was about the study of facial expressions and body movement. From 1960 to 2004 he worked at the University of California and starting in 1963 he received continual research grants from the National Institute of Mental Health for 40 years to study nonverbal behavior.

In the next paragraphs I will consider some theories, factors and evidence on cognitive controlling of emotion in terms of
