Microexpression

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

like your facial expression. If you are happy you will smile if you are sad you will frown, but trying to fake your happiness is very difficult because of microexpressions. What are microexpression you may ask, they are little facial expression you make for 1-3 seconds when you are in a certain mood to express how you are feeling. Microexpression are mainly used when you want to fake how you are feeling, say you are sad, but it’s a friend's special

Abstract Lying is a day-to-day fact of life. According to Bella DePaulo, Ph.D., a person will lie one in every five times of their daily interactions (Chiu, Hong, & Chiu, 2016). Deceit, whether for a high-stake reason such as to cover up a crime, or a little white lie such as, “Your hair looks great,” can be difficult to detect. Discerning whether a person is being honest has yet to become a science, but researchers have found techniques that are effective in uncovering the truth. While there are

I watched the movie Working Girl. In the movie a girl by the name of Tess has a job working on a computer. Tess leaves her job finding a new similar job somewhere else with a woman boss that's around her age (30). Tess had an idea to start a radio company, her boss Katherine then turned it down and told Tess to give her the notes to look at. Tesses boss Katherine broke her leg, leaving her house chores up to Tess to look after for the time being. Tess finds her own idea on Katherine's computer and

Human beings long to read minds; to help friends through hard times, to understand why the man on the bus is staring at someone else, the parents who just found out what wrong their child has done, the man being interviewed for a corporate job, the cop interviewing a suspect of a recent crime. These are all examples of everyday situations that exemplify why a person would want to just look at his peers, relative, possible employees, or suspects and just know what they are thinking. What these people

First impressions are probably the most fundamental part of interpersonal communication, as it sets the tone for the rest of the time that you talk to the other person. I have the hardest time meeting new people because of this; I spend way too much time worrying about if I am making a good impression. I even go out of my way, so I don’t have to meet new people, because leaving a good first impression is so important to me. I just want everyone to like me, and I know that it unrealistic, but that’s

I first realised I wanted to study Psychology the day I saw the TV series Lie To Me, about a genius psychologist with a profound knowledge in body language, primarily microexpressions. Dr. Cal Lightman believed that by reading body language, he could prevent criminals from offending by trying to figure out who was lying and who was not. Lightman used any psychological techniques he believed were necessary in order to get to the truth. His passion and love for the world of Psychology only heightened

used Polygraph Test, using the physiological parameters such as heart rate, blood pressure, and the skin conductance. With the newly found fMRI technique which evaluates the cognitive endpoints, using brain generated electric currents, facial microexpression analysis in context to blood oxygenation and the flow. Later on, Costandi starts providing the possible risks associated with the fMRI imaging. For that he provides the readers with two controversial statements on the opinions of different researchers

Maslow's hierarchy of needs is a theory in psychology proposed by Abraham Maslow, organizing humanities most basic needs. (Martin and Joomis, 2007). Maslow's hierarchy of needs is often represented in the shape of a pyramid with the largest, most fundamental levels of needs at the base and the need for self-actualization at the peak. The pyramid itself is irrelevant, however it has become the de facto way to represent the hierarchy. The hierarchy depicts physiological needs as the most basic need
