Study Notes
Nature and Process of Communication
- Communication involves transmitting ideas and emotions using verbal and nonverbal cues.
- Definition derived from "communis" (common) and "communicare" (to make something common).
- Communication allows individuals to express and share feelings, opinions, information, and ideas.
Forms of Communication
- Verbal Communication: Utilizes spoken or written words to convey messages and emotions.
- Nonverbal Communication: Expresses ideas through actions, body movements, and other cues that do not rely on words.
Types of Nonverbal Communication
-
Proxemics: Examines how spatial distance influences communication.
- Intimate (less than 6 to 18 inches): Very close interactions (friends, family).
- Personal (1.5 to 4 feet): For friends and significant individuals.
- Social (4 to 12 feet): Casual or professional interactions.
- Public (12 feet or more): Typically reserved for formal communication settings.
-
Territoriality: The instinct to occupy and defend personal spaces.
- Primary Territory: Exclusive personal space (sense of ownership).
- Secondary Territory: Temporarily claimed spaces (not strictly owned).
- Public Territory: Spaces available for general public use.
-
Haptics: The role of touch in communication.
- Affectionate Touch: Expresses love or intimacy (e.g., hugging).
- Professional Touch: More formal, used in jobs (e.g., doctor examinations).
- Playful Touch: Light-hearted interactions (e.g., high-fives).
- Supportive Touch: Offers comfort (e.g., patting someone’s back).
Kinesics
-
Involves the use of gestures, movements, and facial expressions.
-
Adaptors: Touch-related behaviors signaling anxiety or nervousness (e.g., nail-biting).
- Self-Adaptors: Actions affecting oneself (e.g., twirling hair).
- Object Adaptors: Interactions with objects (e.g., clicking a pen).
-
Emblems: Gestures with specific meanings understood universally (e.g., peace sign).
-
Illustrators: Gestures that complement verbal communication to clarify meaning (e.g., pointing).
-
Eye Contact: Essential for managing interactions, regulating conversations, and building connections.
Chronemics
