|
What is low road processing?
|
runs through the amygdala, primarily out of conscious awareness, extracts emotional meaning from nonverbal messages (speechless)
|
|
|
What is high road processing?
|
runs through higher order neural systems, available to speech centers (conscious), tends to be rational
|
|
|
What is primal empathy?
|
– feeling with others, sensing non-verbal emotional signals (low road)
|
|
|
What is attunement
|
Attunement – listening with full receptivity
|
|
|
What is empathic accuracy?
|
– understanding another’s thoughts, feelings, and intentions (low and high road)
|
|
|
What is social cognition?
|
knowing how social world works
|
|
|
What is synchrony?
|
interacting smoothly at non-verbal level (low road)
|
|
|
What is self presentation?
|
– presenting self effectively
|
|
|
What is influence?
|
– shaping the outcome of social interactions (low and high road)
|
|
|
What is concern?
|
– caring about others’ needs and acting accordingly
|
|
|
What are the benefits of full listening?
|
-maximizes physiological synchrony, so emotions align
-orients our neural circuits for connectivity, puts us on the same wavelength -maximizes likelihood of synchrony and positive feelings, leading to rapport |
|
|
What are the benefits of empathic accuracy?
|
-The essential expertise in social intelligence
-Builds on primal empathy, but adds explicit understanding of others feelings & thoughts (prefrontal area of neocortex) -Brings high road circuitry to low road primal empathy. |
|
|
What are social cognitions and their benefits?
|
-What we know about interpersonal world
-Without social facility, can still be awkward -Social awareness – builds on empathic accuracy, which builds on listening and primal empathy, foundation for social facility |
|
|
What does synchrony require us to do?
|
requires us to read nonverbal cues instantaneously and act on them smoothly
|
|
|
What is dyssemia?
|
deficit in reading nonverbal cues (in rare cases, due to autism or Asperger’s syndrome). Usually a failure to learn to read important social cues.
|
|
|
What is self presentation?
|
“control and mask” expression of emotion
|
|
|
What is constructive influence?
|
– expressing self in socially effective way
|
|
|
What do you use social awareness for?
|
Use social awareness to guide actions to achieve desired results, put limitations on expressivity
|
|
|
What is social intelligence and why does it matter?
|
-Concern – empathy alone matters little unless we’re willing to act
-Related to physiological arousal by distress in others -Reflects one’s capacity for compassion |
|
|
We can educate the low road by?
|
-We can get better at primal empathy and decoding nonverbal signals, with accurate feedback
-Respond to microexpressions -Can make us better counselors |
