Nonverbal Observation

Pay extra close attention to nonverbal communication for the rest of the day and tomorrow (before you do this assignment). It can be during interactions you are a part of or from observing other people interact. This can be in person or observing interactions in a TV show or movie.

  1. Choose 3 examples of nonverbal communication (they must be different types/categories) you observe from this interaction.
  2. Label the type/category of nonverbal communication (kinesics, haptics, eye contact, paralanguage, proxemics, chronemics, appearance, etc.). Refer to your notes or textbook.
  3. Explain what you think the nonverbal cues were communicating. You might also want to briefly explain any context in which the interactions were taking place.
