Study Notes
Nonverbal Impressions
- Nonverbal communication involves listening (soundwords/emoticons), seeing (actionwords/emoticons), smelling, tasting (actionwords/emoticons), and feeling.
- These senses help us gather information beyond verbal communication.
Watzlawick's 5 Axioms
- 1st Axiom: One cannot NOT communicate, meaning that even silence is a form of communication.
- 2nd Axiom: Every interaction has a content and relationship aspect, with content referring to the message and relationship referring to the underlying connection between individuals.
- 3rd Axiom: Every interaction is defined as a reaction to an event, which can be verbal or nonverbal.
- 4th Axiom: Not mentioned in the provided text.
- 5th Axiom: Inter-human communication procedures are either symmetrical (at "eye level") or complementary (hierarchical).
The Communication Square
- The Communication Square model involves a sender, a message, a receiver, and an effect.
- The message can be explicit or implicit (non-verbal) and reveals information about the sender's feelings, values, idiosyncrasies, and needs.
- The square also involves a request, where the receiver responds to the message.
Paul Watzlawick
- Paul Watzlawick was a philosopher, psychotherapist, and communication scientist (1921-2007).
- He wrote several famous books, including "The Language of Change" (1977), "The Situation Is Hopeless, But Not Serious: The Pursuit of Unhappiness" (1983), and "The Invented Reality: How Do We Know What We Believe We Know?" (1984).
