Nonverbal Verbal And Verbal Communication

● medium –the way we can communicate by using for example the phone, computer, erc.

Although there were times that I considered myself helping to deescalate the situation between Brenda and I, I was very much a part of the problem by being pass aggressive. Wood (2016) states that passive aggression is acting aggressively while denying feelings or acting aggressive. Verbally I could have tried having dialogue with Brenda to understand her perspective of what she was thinking to understand how she was feeling. I should have voiced how I felt, instead of trying to avoid the conflict, due to fear of what I might have inappropriately said. Wood states (2016), competent interpersonal communicators are sensitive to others and their preferences and choose their words accordingly.

Dinica’s article in Procedia, Social and Behavioral Sciences from 2014 researched how nonverbal behavior aids communication by observing how animals communicate, since humans are the only species to use language as their main form of communication. While there were some similarities between animal’s and human’s nonverbal behaviors, they discovered that thanks to language, humans have adapted to using their words to communicate information more and pick up on less nonverbal cues. Animal communication was limited based on their body features and the range of ways they could use their bodies to communicate different things.

Actions speak louder than words. When having a conversation with someone, your body language speaks louder than your words. Men’s brains and women’s brains work differently, which causes them to have slightly different forms of interaction. Men have different proxemics, kinesics, and paralanguage than women do. Understanding these differences allow us to communicate effectively.

1. Confidence implies one's estimation of one's self. On the off chance that you have a low estimation of your esteem, to yourself, to others, to society, to whatever it is that you relate yourself to, that is low confidence. That is truly all it is. Your own estimation of your own esteem. Confidence is simply the route in which one perspectives. In their own life and their expert life, it is simply the route in which they present as certain, their managers and future companions will consider them to be such. In the event that they see themselves to be useless and monstrous, they will in all probability have that sort of mentality in their discourse, non-verbal communication, and work efficiency.

Is it possible to truly stop ourselves from physically reacting to someone else’s invitation of verbal or non-verbal communication? Is it possible to “not react” at all? Do we have this kind of control over our emotional and physical body language? What happens to the inner part of ourselves when the outer part of ourselves reacts physically, emotionally or mentally without our permission?

Communication is the art of transmitting ideas, thoughts ad knowledge from one person to another. Communication need not essentially mean verbal communication. Communication can be verbal and non-verbal. Non-Verbal Communication is the practiced means of interaction amongst the audibly challenged community. This audibly challenged community uses a region or country specific sign language to communicate their ideas and wants. Sign Language Translators are essential to bridge the communication gap between the audibly challenged community and the rest of the world. Today a lot of systems are being funded and built to computerize the work of Sign Language Translator. These Sign Language Recognition Systems are Learning Systems. When the system fails to recognize the word, the system attempts to learn the sign or gesture and recognizes when the same sign is performed later on. There are many different types of Sign Languages and as mentioned these languages are very region specific i.e., Indian Sign Language (ISL), American Sign Language (ASL), etc.

To me interpersonal communication describes the exchange of verbal and nonverbal messages between two different people. Joseph DeVito states that “interpersonal communication is inevitable, irreversible, and unrepeatable” due to these things effective communication is a necessary skill for us to function in our day to day lives (p. 20). Therefore, I have created a theory for interpersonal communication that goes as follows; To experience effective communication you must understand: your culture, the other person’s culture, and how to listen effectively. By knowing these three things you can consistently avoid misunderstandings and promote understanding in your interpersonal and intercultural relationships.

Communication is a vital part of everyday living. Two main forms of communication are verbal and nonverbal communication. Have you ever spoke with someone and noticed the words that they are speaking don’t match what their body is saying or have you ever been in a situation where the outcome was not expected due to misleading nonverbal communication? Nonverbal communication is just as important as verbal communication. The ability to read a person’s body language is just as important as the ability to understand the language that is being spoken.

The quote by Drucker is a great example of how important it is for people to pay attention to nonverbal behavior, rather than only what is verbally communicated. Nonverbal communication has the ability to deliver information more effectively than verbal communication. Interpersonal communication is more effective when a conversation is complimented with non-verbal communication (Bello, et al, 2010). Nonverbal communication is not limited to any environment or surroundings because we are always communicating through nonverbal cues consciously and subconsciously. Whether a person is at a business meeting, bar, park, or his/her house, the transmission of verbal and nonverbal communication is continually being sent and received.

“Systematic research on the role of nonverbal behavior in social interaction has been common only in the past 20 to 25 years.”(Edinger and Patterson, 1983, p. 30).because that statement was published in 1983, it is apparent that the study of nonverbal behavior has been around for roughly 50 to 55 years. However, that is still a relatively recent amount of time compared to research in other science fields such as chemistry or biology. Despite the fact that this field is relatively recent there are many theories about our interaction with others. This paper will discuss the nonverbal expectancy theory along with two other theories, and describe how these theories can work together.

When we think of communication some people automatically think of verbal ways which includes speaking about ideas, stating opinions, and expressing thoughts. This simple communication process is a two-way method in which one sends the message through conversation and other person receives the message by listening. To have an effective conversation the message must be interpreted successfully and used in a fitting manner. Another aspect of communication people use is known as nonverbal communication. A person can communicate by their facial expressions, signals, pointing, writing, drawing, touching, eye contact are the major and valuable components of communication. I most commonly use the facial expression nonverbal communication technique but majority of the time I do not realize I am doing it. I am often told my facial expression reveals exactly what I am thinking. I have made a point to make myself aware of showing my feelings on my face. Not all nonverbal expressions are bad some can help the person you are communicating with feel comfortable with a simple smile or nodding of the head showing you are in agreement with what they are

A single gesture can mean any number of things, or maybe even nothing at all. The key to accurately reading nonverbal behavior is to look for groups of signals that reinforce a common point. If you place too much emphasis on just one signal out of many, you might come to an inaccurate conclusion about what a person is trying to communicate.

I am also glad that I understand the importance of verbal communication in everyday interaction. Consider the number of connections that begin with a man and lady looking at each other. Their gaze parts a swarmed room. A suggestive wink has a tendency to be more fruitful than a overused conversation starter (Remland, 2017). There are five fundamental elements of non-verbal correspondence: to express feelings, convey relational connections, bolster verbal collaboration, reflect identity and perform customs, for example, welcome and farewells (Remland, 2017). We can strengthen, negate, substitute, supplement or underline our verbal correspondence with non-verbal signals, for example, motions, articulations and vocal affectation. Failing to establish and maintain eye to eye connection when we tell a partner that we adore them conveys something that contradicts the actual verbalization. Similarly, a brilliant grin when we say congrats strengthens the genuineness of our words.

Being able to communicate effectively as a transferable skill that many do not appreciate today. Instead it is assumed that communication is being able to speak or write efficiently as well as effectively. This is not true. The word communication gets thrown around on a regular basis to deliver the illusion that it is only sent communication. The fact is communication is not only sending the message, but also receiving the message. Personally, I feel that nonverbal communication is my strongest transferable skills that I didn’t really realize about myself. I believe that my being able to read nonverbal actions and decipher nonverbal communication is the reason I am able to empathize so well with others and be able to understand them
