1. Persona
  • In life we play many parts
  • Persona means mask
  • We adopt roles and create a public self
  • A doctor or teacher establishes persona
  • Clothes can be a mask, e.g Muslim women mask
    gender to show modesty
  • Fashion makes us actors

  • We can present a performance we believe to be
    sincere and which we want observers to believe.
  • Cynical performance- con man, doctor giving
    placebo
  • Congruence between verbal and non-verbal avoiding
    leakage
