List the five different ways in which people manage their emotions, according to nonverbal communication researcher Paul Ekman. Provide an original example that illustrates the five methods

What will be an ideal response?

1. Simulating, or displaying an emotion when you're not feeling any. Example: When watching a football game with hard-core fans, I act like I'm upset when our team fumbles and ecstatic when they score, but in reality I could not care less.
2. Inhibiting, or displaying no emotion when in fact you're feeling one. Example: I tripped on the sidewalk on the way to class and was embarrassed. But outwardly I acted nonchalant.
3. Intensifying, or creating the appearance that you're feeling emotions more strongly than you are. Example: A friend tells an anecdote which I find mildly amusing. However, I laugh loudly and heartily with her.
4. Deintensifying, or giving the impression that you're feeling emotions less strongly than you actually are. Example: When my parents died, I appeared to be stronger, than I was feeling, in front of my daughter.
5. Masking, or showing one emotion while feeling something different. Example: On the Oscars, Tonys, or other award shows, I watch those who don't win. They never look disappointed, but almost always appear ecstatic that another person won.
