Nonverbal communication in human interaction 5th edition

Knapp, M. Nonverbal communication in human interaction 5th ed. Wadsworth: Thomas Learning. Some regard expressive fa- cial cues to be the critical source of information whereas others argue that situational cues exert the decisive im- pact.

This research explored an alternative view suggesting that both information sources are of consequence and that cognitive demands placed on perceivers play a pivotal role in determining what information they use.

In contrast, situational information had the greatest impact when cognitive demands were minimized. These findings shed light on the debate surrounding the issue of facial versus situational dominance and the process by which emotion judgments are made.
