It involves being aware of our own emotions, understanding their impact on ourselves and others, and utilizing this knowledge to navigate emotional situations with intelligence and empathy.

    This face is expressing....... - ProProfs

    This face is expressing.......

    • Pride

    • Contempt

    • Excitement

    • Anger

    Correct Answer
    A. Pride
    Explanation
    Pride involves signs of dominance. The corners of the lips rise slightly, signaling that the person is happy. But what distinguishes this from happiness is that the head tilts back, with a slight jaw-thrust. Those are classic signs of power and dominance—they suggest that we’re feeling strong. The expression of pride is also close to the expression of contempt. They both involve a backward head tilt, but contempt doesn’t involve a slight smile as pride does; instead, with contempt the lip movement is asymmetrical—only one side tightens.

    • Anger

    • Disgust

    Correct Answer
    A. Anger
    Explanation
    You see these muscle movements—in the lips, around the eyes, and in the brow—when people are feeling aggressive, threatened, or frustrated. Researchers think we make this expression when we’re angry because it could protect the face in a physical conflict—for example, the furrowed eyebrows could protect the eyes.

    Correct Answer
    A. Understand and share other people's feelings and emotions
    Explanation
    Being empathetic means that you understand and share other people's feelings and emotions. This involves putting yourself in someone else's shoes and being able to relate to their experiences. Empathy allows for a deeper connection with others and can lead to more meaningful and compassionate relationships. It involves being able to recognize and validate other people's emotions, offering support and understanding when needed.

    This face is expressing.......

    • Flirtatiousness

    • Interest

    • Happiness

    • Politeness

    Correct Answer
    A. Happiness
    Explanation
    This is a classic display of a genuine smile, called a Duchenne smile, which signals happiness. It’s defined by two muscle movements. The movement common to all smiles is the zygomatic major muscle pulling the lip corners up. But, critically, what reveals this as a genuine smile is what happens around the eyes: The muscles tighten, making those wrinkles, or crow’s feet, around the sides of the eyes and creating that pouching of the lower eyelid. When you see these signs, the person isn’t just smiling politely; he’s feeling genuine happiness.

    Being able to imagine what emotions a person is likely to be feeling (even when you don't actually know) is called..................

    • Sympathy

    • Empathy

    • Pity

    Correct Answer
    A. Empathy
    Explanation
    Empathy refers to the ability to understand and share the feelings of another person. It involves putting oneself in someone else's shoes and imagining what emotions they might be experiencing, even if we don't have direct knowledge of their situation. Sympathy, on the other hand, refers to feeling sorry or pity for someone else's situation without necessarily understanding their emotions. Pity is a feeling of sadness or compassion towards someone's suffering, but it doesn't necessarily involve imagining or understanding their emotions. Therefore, empathy is the most appropriate term to describe the ability to imagine what emotions a person is likely to be feeling.

    You are a college student who had hoped to get an A in a course that was important for your future career aspirations. You have just found out you got a Con the midterm. What do you do?

    •  Sketch out a specific plan for ways to improve your grade and resolve to follow through.

    • Decide you do not have what it takes to make it in that career.

    • Tell yourself it really doesn’t matter how much you do in the course, concentrate instead on other classes where your grades are higher.

    •  Go see the professor and try to talk her into giving you a better grade.

    Correct Answer
    A.  Sketch out a specific plan for ways to improve your grade and resolve to follow through.
    Explanation
    The correct answer suggests that the best course of action is to create a detailed plan to improve the grade and commit to following through with it. This approach demonstrates a proactive and determined attitude towards overcoming the setback. It shows a willingness to take responsibility for one's performance and work towards achieving the desired outcome. By outlining specific steps to improve, the student can focus on areas of weakness and develop strategies to address them effectively. This approach is more productive and constructive compared to the other options provided.

    this face is expressing......

    • Sadness

    • Shame

    • Disgust

    • Contempt

    Correct Answer
    A. Contempt
    Explanation
    Contempt is when you look down on somebody derisively or suspiciously. What’s important about the expression of contempt is that the lips tighten on one side of the face but not the other. If the tightening were on both sides of the face, the person could be swallowing or salivating. People often confuse contempt with disgust. But disgust involves the raising of the upper lip, and the bridge of the nose wrinkles. We express disgust about noxious things, not those about which we’re derisive or suspicious.

    • Embarrassment

    • Fear

    • Sadness

    • Surprise

    Correct Answer
    A. Fear
    Explanation
    We express fear when we feel physically or psychologically threatened. The facial expression of fear is often confused with surprise. But when we’re surprised, our eyes open wider than when we’re afraid, and our mouth isn’t pulled sideways, like it is here; instead, our jaw drops and the mouth hangs open. Plus, our eyebrows are relatively flat when we’re afraid; they arch more when we’re surprised.

    Emotional intelligence is something that develops as we get.......................

    • Older

    • Smarter

    • More college degrees 

    • Rich

    Correct Answer
    A. Older
    Explanation
    Emotional intelligence is something that develops as we get older. As we age, we gain more life experiences and encounter various situations that require us to understand and manage our emotions effectively. With time, we learn from our mistakes, become more self-aware, and develop empathy towards others. These factors contribute to the growth of emotional intelligence, making us better equipped to handle relationships, conflicts, and navigate through life's challenges.

    You are in a meeting when a colleague takes credit for work that you have done. What do you do?

    • Immediately and publicly confront the colleague over the ownership of your work.

    • After the meeting, take the colleague aside and tell her that you would appreciate in the future that she credits you when speaking about your work.

    • Nothing, it’s not a good idea to embarrass colleagues in public

    • After the colleague speaks, publicly thank her for referencing your work and give the group more specific detail about what you were trying to accomplish

    Correct Answer
    A. After the colleague speaks, publicly thank her for referencing your work and give the group more specific detail about what you were trying to accomplish
    Explanation
    In this situation, it is important to handle the situation professionally and maintain a positive relationship with your colleague. Confronting the colleague immediately and publicly may create tension and embarrassment for both parties. Instead, it is better to address the issue privately after the meeting and express your desire for proper credit in the future. However, publicly thanking the colleague for referencing your work and providing more specific details about your accomplishments not only acknowledges your contribution but also demonstrates your professionalism and ability to handle such situations gracefully.

    This face is expressing........

    • Desire

    • Embarrassment

    • Flirtatiousness

    • Love

    Correct Answer
    A. Flirtatiousness
    Explanation
    This is a coy, flirtatious smile. What conveys flirtatiousness is when someone turns his or her head away to signal ‘I’m not interested in you,’ but simultaneously makes eye contact. That’s a universal display that reflects the ambivalence of flirtation—the flirter avoids and approaches someone at the same time. Someone flirting gives off signals of pleasure, as indicated by the zygomatic major muscle pulling the lip corners up, which also raises the cheeks slightly. Plus, the eyes are narrower than in a neutral state because the orbicularis oculi muscles around the eyes contract, suggesting feelings of happiness.

    • Important when solving problems

    • Rude and shouldn't be done

    • Only okay if you know you're right

    • A terrible thing to do

    Correct Answer
    A. Important when solving problems
    Explanation
    Challenging and disagreeing with other people's opinions is important when solving problems because it allows for different perspectives and ideas to be considered. By engaging in healthy debate and discussion, new solutions and approaches can be discovered. It encourages critical thinking and helps to uncover any flaws or weaknesses in the current thinking. It also promotes learning and growth, as individuals are exposed to different viewpoints and are encouraged to defend and refine their own ideas. Overall, challenging and disagreeing with others' opinions fosters a collaborative and innovative problem-solving process.

    Correct Answer
    A. Negative emotions, experiences
