Page "Pride" Paragraph 15

The term " fiero " was coined by Italian psychologist Isabella Poggi to describe the pride experienced and expressed in the moments following a personal triumph over adversity.

Facial expressions and gestures that demonstrate pride can involve a lifting of the chin, smiles, or arms on hips to demonstrate victory.

Individuals may implicitly grant status to others based solely on their expressions of pride, even in cases in which they wish to avoid doing so.

Indeed, some studies shows that the nonverbal expression of pride conveys a message that is automatically perceived by others about a person's high social status in a group.
