Study Notes
Nonverbal Communication
- Nonverbal cues, like smiling or eye-rolling, communicate feelings without words, conveying appreciation, warmth, or disagreement.
- Understanding these cues enhances effective self-expression and comprehension of others.
Types of Nonverbal Gestures
- Emblems: Universal gestures with specific cultural meanings, such as the Filipino habit of using lips to point. These can differ greatly across cultures, potentially leading to misunderstandings.
- Complementing: Visual aids that support verbal communication, e.g., rubbing the stomach to indicate being full while declining food.
- Emphasizing: Strong gestures and vocal techniques that underscore a message’s importance, like politicians using loud, deliberate tones and body language during speeches.
- Contradicting: Situations where nonverbal signals conflict with spoken words, revealing true feelings, such as a person saying "fine" while showing signs of distress.
Nonverbal Leakage
- Nonverbal leakage occurs when true emotions unintentionally surface through body language or facial expressions, despite attempts to conceal them.
- Examples include fidgeting when calm or showing frustration through eye movements while expressing positivity.
Microexpressions
- Microexpressions are rapid facial cues that indicate genuine emotions, lasting only a fraction of a second.
- The seven types of microexpressions include:
- Happiness: Brief smirk illustrating joy.
- Surprise: Quick jaw drop revealing astonishment.
- Fear: Wide-open eyes indicating alarm.
- Anger: Eye rolls or a tight jaw showcasing irritation.
- Sadness: Sudden pout reflecting sorrow.
- Disgust: Wrinkled nose showing aversion.
- Contempt: A half-smile suggesting disdain.
Communication Models
-
Transmission Model: Developed by Claude Shannon and Warren Weaver in 1948, focusing on a one-way communication process.
- Involves a sender encoding a message, transmitting it, and a receiver decoding it, akin to a telephone system.
- Success in communication is dependent on the receiver comprehending the message.
