Study Notes
Chapter 6: Face-Saving
-
Face is a universal human characteristic, defined as a person's desired public image.
-
Face wants can be divided into positive face (desire for approval) and negative face (desire for autonomy).
-
Face-threatening acts (FTAs) can lead to conflict, based on the social distance between parties, their relative power, and the intrusiveness of the request.
-
Politeness strategies range from avoiding the FTA to directly performing it. Politeness is inversely related to the FTA's threat level.
-
Face loss occurs when a person's identity is challenged; it leads to feelings of shame, confusion, and inferiority.
-
Face-saving behaviors are efforts to re-establish face after a perceived threat or loss.
-
Continued change in conflict interaction is a positive sign, demonstrating flexible strategies.
-
Face saving issues can lead to rigid interaction patterns and make conflict resolution more difficult.
-
Cultural values influence conflict responses; collectivistic cultures show more concern for the face of others.
-
Different face-saving frames exist, including resisting unjust intimidation, refusing to concede a position, and suppressing conflict issues.
-
Face-giving strategies are implemented to help parties to save and maintain their face. This can be done through corrective (after threat) or preventative (avoiding threat and maintaining status) methods.
-
Examples of face-saving strategies include accounts, apologies, quasi-theories, and disclaimers.
-
Face-saving can dominate conflict interaction, diverting attention from the main issue.
-
Individualistic and collectivistic cultures exhibit different face-saving approaches.
-
Person-centered speech can facilitate face giving, showing empathy and perspective-taking.
-
Face-saving is a common concern, whether in negotiations, personal relationships, or group dynamics.
-
Effective conflict interaction strategies address concerns about each other's faces, which can prevent the escalation of conflict.
