  • 2. 

    It's possible that the nose-squeeze gesture can indicate the emotion of Nervousness?

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The nose-squeeze gesture can indicate nervousness because it is a common nonverbal cue associated with anxiety or stress. When someone feels nervous, they may unconsciously rub or squeeze their nose as a way to release tension or alleviate discomfort. This gesture is often accompanied by other signs of nervousness such as fidgeting, avoiding eye contact, or increased perspiration. Therefore, it is plausible to say that the nose-squeeze gesture can indicate the emotion of nervousness.

    • Gaze-away

    Correct Answer
    A. Gaze-away

    The emotions of Boredom and Dishonesty share which of the following gestures?

    • Nose-squeeze

    • Hands-in-pockets

    • Gaze-away

    Correct Answer
    A. Nose-squeeze
    Explanation
    The gesture of nose-squeeze is associated with both boredom and dishonesty. When someone is bored, they may unconsciously touch or squeeze their nose as a way to alleviate their boredom. On the other hand, when someone is being dishonest, they may also touch or squeeze their nose as a way to subconsciously cover their mouth and indicate deception. Therefore, the gesture of nose-squeeze is common to both emotions.

    Explanation
    The statement suggests that the hands-in-pockets gesture can indicate dishonesty. However, this is not necessarily true. The hands-in-pockets gesture can have various interpretations depending on the context and individual. It can signify comfort, relaxation, or even shyness. Therefore, it cannot be definitively concluded that this gesture indicates dishonesty.

    Correct Answer
    A. Nervousness
