Abstract
Emotions are conveyed largely by nonverbal means: they are notoriously difficult to talk about. Ask even the most articulate people to describe their emotional state and you are likely to see them become increasingly less articulate. It is not simply that the lexicon for emotions is inadequate, but that words alone don’t seem to have immediacy and impact. An effective communication about emotion should be contagious, easily and quickly transmissable, and not totally under the control of the transmitter.
Preparation of this paper was supported by National Research Service Award 1 F32 NS07327, by NIH Grant IROIHDI8381, NSF Grants 82-16546 and 82-09540, and by the MIT Center for Cognitive Science under a grant from the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation. I thank Steve Pinker and Joan Borod for helpful comments. This paper is dedicated to my father, Benjamin Etcoff (1914–1983).
