Week 4
Nonverbal Communication
Let’s take a look at what you are communicating nonverbally. For each of the following, give a specific, personal example of how you have used these forms of nonverbal communication::
· Face and eyes
· Kinesics
· Touch
· Paralanguage
· Proxemics
· Territory
· Chronemics
· Physical attractiveness
· Clothing
· Environment.
Based on these examples, your personal reflection, and comments that have been made to you by others, how do you rate yourself as a nonverbal communicator in terms of frequency, awareness, and accuracy of encoding messages (sending a clear message appropriate for the situation)? Be specific.
Lastly, there are pretty specific rules for nonverbal communication (e.g. everyone in an elevator faces the doors). This week break one (safely ??” don’t risk getting hurt). How did you feel? What reaction did you get from others? How do we learn what the rules are?
Hey, Can you do it on the time I chose, please. or I won’t get a grade.
