Study Notes
Nonverbal Communication
- Observe the speaker's posture, gestures, tone, facial expression, and eye movements to understand their feelings.
- Nonverbal cues such as a smile or frown, hunched-downposture, and hand wringing express emotions.
- When interpreting nonverbal messages, consider the speaker's cultural background, not the listener's culture.
- Verify whether nonverbal messages align with the spoken message (congruent) or contradict it (incongruent).
- Mixed messages (incongruent verbal and nonverbal messages) require the listener to clarify the speaker's intended communication.
