Extroverted people engage in more behaviors that are commonly associated with passion, such as animated body language, talkativeness, and dynamic tones of voice. Introverted people, on the other hand, engage in more behaviors that are commonly associated with disinterest, such as listening without speaking, maintaining a serene demeanor, and typically not being the first to raise their hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The introvert\u2019s less-animated behaviors can sometimes lead to misconceptions about their level of passion, leading to real, tangible consequences. In our studies of the workplace, supervisors rewarded extroverts\u2019 more-animated expressions of passion with higher estimations of their status, which has been shown to be associated with\u00a0preferential treatment<\/a>, greater chances of promotions and raises, and\u00a0other benefits<\/a>. This sort of imbalance of status, admiration, and respect might happen in the classroom as well. …<\/p>\n\n\n\n 3 ways to ensure your passionate introverts shine<\/p>\n\n\n\n 1. Learn how your students express passion<\/p>\n\n\n\n 2. Collaboratively identify new ways to express passion<\/p>\n\n\n\n 3. Reward passionate performance\u2014not performative passion<\/p>\n\n\n\n Finally, once you\u2019ve worked with your students to identify the ways in which they express their passion, it\u2019s up to you to reward that true passion\u2014whether through thoughtful feedback, encouraging words, or more one-on-one time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For example, try making a point of calling out a student\u2019s less-animated passion publicly, particularly if it wasn\u2019t expressed in stereotypical ways (e.g., \u201cI love how passionate you are about this\u201d). That sort of public acknowledgement will help the student\u2014and others like them\u2014feel seen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n … Society often assumes that the only way to be passionate is to act extroverted, but that is simply not true. To the contrary, our research demonstrates that introversion and passion are far from mutually exclusive. It\u2019s up to all of us to recognize that passion doesn\u2019t always burn bright enough to see\u2014but that doesn\u2019t mean it\u2019s not hot enough to spark a fire within.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Instead Embrace\u2014and Reward\u2014Their Less-Animated Behavior by Kai Krautter, Anabel B\u00fcchner, and Jon M.
