Paul Ekman
The person than I admire of my field is Paul ekman. He was born in 1934 in Washington D. C. He received the Scientific Research Award from the National institute of mental Health and he still alive.
Paul Ekman was one of the first to study the relationship between emotions and its facial expressions. He found an universal expressions of many emotions like anger, repugnant, fear, happiness, sadness, surprise. He described facial micro expression than it can use to detect lies but his works about lies it is not only about the facial expressions, He work whit the expressions of all human body too. Ekman has contributed to the study of social aspects of lying, why we lie, and why we are often unconcerned with detecting lies and I think that this is a great contribution to the knowledge in general. It is because I admire Paul Ekman and because his work has a great importance in the practice of psychology and because this theory is given in reality. Other important things about Paul Ekman is that the “Lie to me” tv program it is an Ekman theory based.
I had never heard about him before.
ResponderEliminarI first hears about him in the 70's while attending UCLA as a psy student. I agreed with his theory about the human face and what it detects. The face is universal all muscles are the same. I have followed him for many years as a forensic psychologist. I just adore him.
