Social perception studies have revealed that smiling individuals are perceived more favourably on many communion dimensions in comparison to nonsmiling individuals. Research on gender differences in smiling habits showed that women smile more than men. In our study, we investigated this phenomena further and hypothesised that women perceive smiling individuals as more honest than men. An experiment conducted in seven countries (China, Germany, Mexico, Norway, Poland, Republic of South Africa and USA) revealed that gender may influence the perception of honesty in smiling individuals. We compared ratings of honesty made by male and female participants who viewed photos of smiling and nonsmiling people. While men and women did not differ on ratings of honesty in nonsmiling individuals, women assessed smiling individuals as more honest than men did. We discuss these results from a social norms perspective.
Badania nad postrzeganiem społecznym wskazują, że osoby uśmiechające się są na licznych wymiarach postrzegane korzystniej aniżeli osoby nieuśmiechające się. Jednakże w niniejszych badaniach twierdzimy, że ta zależność nie zawsze jest pozytywna ponieważ postrzeganie uśmiechu może być zależne od kultury i takich jej wymiarów jak indywidualizm-kolektywizm czy asertywność. Eksperyment przeprowadzony w sześciu krajach (w Polsce, Niemczech, Norwegii, Iranie, USA oraz RPA) pokazał, że osoby uśmiechające się mogą być w kulturach kolektywistycznych i mało asertywnych postrzegane mniej korzystnie od osób nieuśmiechających się. W Niemczech osoby uśmiechnięte zostały ocenione jako bardziej inteligentne, a w Iranie jako mniej inteligentne niż osoby nieuśmiechnięte. Ponadto we wszystkich krajach poza Iranem osoby uśmiechnięte były postrzegane jako bardziej szczere niż osoby nieuśmiechnięte. Dyskutujemy stwierdzone efekty w kontekście zróżnicowania kultur opisanego przez Housea i zespół (2004) oraz przez Hofstedego (2001).
Smiling individuals are usually perceived more favorably than non-smiling ones—they are judged as happier, more attractive, competent, and friendly. These seemingly clear and obvious consequences of smiling are assumed to be culturally universal, however most of the psychological research is carried out in WEIRD societies (Western, Educated, Industrialized, Rich, and Democratic) and the influence of culture on social perception of nonverbal behavior is still understudied. Here we show that a smiling individual may be judged as less intelligent than the same non-smiling individual in cultures low on the GLOBE’s uncertainty avoidance dimension. Furthermore, we show that corruption at the societal level may undermine the prosocial perception of smiling—in societies with high corruption indicators, trust toward smiling individuals is reduced. This research fosters understanding of the cultural framework surrounding nonverbal communication processes and reveals that in some cultures smiling may lead to negative attributions.
Ikonizität und Indexikalität im gebärdensprachlichen Lexikon – Zur Typologie sprachlicher Zeichen
(2010)
The paper deals with the iconic and indexical relations of lexical signs in German Sign Language (DGS). It is argued that the theory of signs as established by Charles S. Peirce is particular fruitful with respect to the description and classification of signs in the visual-gestural modality, but also needs some additional discussion on the nature of the relation between sign and reference object. As will be demonstrated, motivated signs in German Sign Language are more complex with respect to indexicality and iconicity as is recognized in contemporary research. Accordingly, the paper discusses the necessity to modify the typology of linguistic signs with respect to sign languages. It will be demonstrated that there has to be established a class of schematic signs within the group of hypoicons. Secondly, it is argued that DGS has a class of motivated but non-iconic signs, which show a designative-indexical relation which relates to the spoken or written form of a word of the oral contact language German. In sum, a modified typology of lexical signs is established which not only includes the sign types symbol, index and (image)icon but also the new types schematic icon and indicator (‘Hinweis’).
Am 25. und 26. Oktober 2003 fand im Institut für Deutsche Sprache das 1.
