The laughter and tears in this scenario are examples of affect displays, which are nonverbal behaviours that communicate our emotions and feelings. Regulators are nonverbal behaviours that help us maintain and manage conversations, illustrators are nonverbal behaviours that accompany and emphasize verbal communication, and emblems are nonverbal behaviours that can be directly translated into verbal messages (such as a thumbs up).
