About-
The Psychology Behind the Mask: How Pandemic Safety Procedures Affect Communication and Ways to Compensate
Join us as we explore the psychology of why people resist wearing masks, why it's important, and how it affects interpersonal relationships, and how it applies to hospitality & management.
How do we read emotions if most of our face is covered and how one could use this information to compensate when communicating with others?
