Body Language And Non Verbal Communication

Non-verbal communication consists mainly of the things people do with their body language. There are times where words are expressed and non-verbal communication could help emphasize the message. A few examples of nonverbal communication are hand gestures eye contact, facial expressions as well as tone and volume. I was given this assignment to observe a situation and take note of the nonverbal communication that occurred. I also had to observe whether the non-verbals were able to execute the message and if the behavior was acceptable.

Body language (the process of communicating nonverbally through conscious or unconscious gestures and movements). People all of the world use body language or gestures to communicate nonverbally. I personally think that nonverbal communication and body language are one of the biggest barriers in communication especially between one culture to other. Body gestures can be misinterpreted as rude or disrespectful depending on the country, region, or even the city you’re from.

BODY LANGUAGE is often used in health and social care environment to make communication effective because the way we sit or stand, which is called posture can send messages and even the way we fold our arms when communicating with someone suggest that we are feeling negative or defensive about the person or situation and this make communication ineffective because the service user may feel and think you are not ready to listen to them or helping them meet their needs. So when working within the health care setting, you should bring out a good body language such as waving arms around to indicate you excited and interested, do not shake head while someone is talking or service user trying to bring their own point of view because it might indicate you turning them off which is bad and not accepted from

Nonverbal communication is behaviors and characteristics that convey meaning with out the use of words. Sometimes accompanying verbal messages, to clarify or reinforce them. (Floyd, Communicating Nonverbally, 2013) It is said to be true that nonverbal communication sometimes gives more information that verbal communication. People’s facial expressions, gestures, and personal appearance are all forms of nonverbal communication and it relies on our sense of vision. For instance, when my sorority and I get together for a meeting and the president of our chapter stands up in front of everyone to share information, it is important that we let her know that we are interested by nodding our head in agreement, smiling at her, clapping our hands, and keeping eye contact with her so she knows our focus is on her. For our chapter it is important to reassure our president that we are listening and focused on what she has to say by using nonverbal behaviors. Without nonverbal communication, it would be hard to tell when someone is interested or not in a conversation. Nonverbal communication helps us maintain

Non-verbal communication is essential to human communication and makes up 93% of all communication. Body language clues can either ease the delivery of the communication message or it can interfere with the communication message being sent. For example, when attempting to portray confidence and power as a leader, simple things such as the placement of one 's hand in a handshake or a pat on the back with a colleague can make a huge impact. When attempting to portray honesty while under intense scrutiny, clues such as emotional facial expressions, fidgeting, and body alignment can all denote whether a speaker is being deceptive or not. For these reasons it is important that communicators examine their own body language and other non-verbal communication.

Body language, while easily overlooked as a means of communication, is used every day when people interact with one another. We interact beyond words by using what we call nonverbal signals. According to many experts in this field, such as James C. McCroskey and Virginia P. Richmond, the authors of Nonverbal Behavior in Interpersonal Relations, body language makes a huge difference in our daily communication. For example, the way we pose, the expressions on our face, and even the tone of our speech, which are all nonverbal communication methods, change the volume of speech and thus have various impacts on the overall communication. Almost half of our communications involves people’s use of body language to convey their thoughts, whether or not those happen unconsciously or consciously; understanding body language is very important for daily communication with one another. Since Eastern University is a small Christian college, students and professors have the opportunity to have better and intimate relationships with each other. Therefore, professors should not only use more efficient body languages to interact with students individually but also use various types of body language to improve class atmosphere. Furthermore, the use of body language can help international students have a better understanding of the American education system.

One fine afternoon there was a girl at a panda express creepily watching people and taking notes. You guessed it, that girl was me, and during my subtle note taking on the nonverbal communications between the people at panda I witnessed just how much people rely on nonverbal communications to get their point across. Although I witnessed several encounters of unique body language there were also a few general body language actions that reoccurred several times in several different people. For example, when a customer would approach the counter where employees served the food, the employee would raise their eyebrows and smile at the customer. The employee’s smile, however, did not reach their eyes meaning while it is th9er job to smile and be welcoming to the customer no one likes to serve food all day and she probably wanted to go home. Additionally, I noticed that when customers approached the counter about 90 percent of them had their arms folded. The act of crossing your arms means that people are trying to put a barrier between themselves and a situation that they either don’t like or are uncomfortable with. This may mean that that they were displeased with having to wait in line to get their food or are uncomfortable with making the decision of which kind of meat to get, on the other hand it may mean nothing at all and they are simply comfortable folding their arms. Once they reached the front of the line, every customer pointed to the food they wanted along with

As it is characterized in "The Interpersonal Communication Book (thirteenth ed.)" by J.A. DeVito (2013), Interpersonal Communication is the verbal and nonverbal connection between two (or now and then more than two) interdependent individuals.

There are a some aspects of nonverbal communication that should be upheld and followed by all nurses and healthcare professionals. When treating people, the results or new is not always good and there is no telling how someone will react once they are given new regarding their health. If the news is bad, the healthcare professional tasked with giving the news should be aware of the nonverbal messages they are sending to the message receiver. Is the sender slouched and sluggish? Are they standing up straight and smiling? Small little things like a person's posture can completely change the tone that is delivered with a verbal message. A real situation of this is if a patient is tested to be positive for cancer, the person tasked on giving the news would want to give off a light and even somewhat happy mood. The goal is not to get up the hopes of the patient or to trick them but, to give them hope and let them know everything will be okay, even if there is a chance it won’t be. Hope is a very powerful tool for people and it’s important to project hope through nonverbal means like body language. If a patient sees the doctor or nurse appear calm when delivering new as serious as cancer, the tone of calmness will be sent along with the verbal message which may help the patient feel more hope and comfort.
