Chapter Nineteen describes the importance of facial expressions. Facial expressions portray your attitude towards something in your affective state, or your emotions, such as fear, anger, enjoyment, sadness, disgust or any other mood you may be in. For example, a smile is an expression of happiness or enjoyment. Your cognitive activity can also be exemplified through facial expressions. If someone is yawning and is staring blankly across the room, you would assume this person is bored. Hostility, sociability, and shyness are three traits that can be shown through facial expressions that portray a person's temperament and personality. Someone who stars at the ground while surrounded by a few people may come off as shy. Facial expressions show a person's truthfulness, because your expression on your face during a situation reveals your true emotions and how you feel about what is going on. Psychopathy is another trait that includes information relevant to depression and many other less severe disorders, and the response to the treatment.
Facial expressions are also very important due to medical research that uses imaging technologies to show when specific mental processes are occurring (such as learning about coronary artery disease). Expressions are also important in education, because the teacher's expressions affect whether the students are learning or not, and the students' expressions show the teacher whether they are learning or not. For criminal justice, expressions portray a person's credibility. Everyone in the world uses facial expressions, and it is very important to understand what certain expressions mean.
