Nonverbal Communication
Take Away Points
• From the reading:
• Visual, auditory, and invisible communication system – know the
definitions of these terms and their subpoints (Proxemics, Kinesics,
Artifacts, Vocalics, Chronemics, Olfactics, and Haptics)
• By the definition we gave in class, what three things are required for
something to be considered nonverbal communication?
• Hint: see slide 4
• What is spontaneous vs. symbolic nonverbal communication? If I give
you an example, can you tell me which one it is?
• Know the “three things of import about nonverbals” and be able to
recognize an example
• What are the various functions of nonverbal codes?
• Be able to define and recognize examples of the vocabulary words from

What is Nonverbal Communication?
• Nonverbal communication must be…
• Perceived consciously by either the sender or the receiver
• Intended as a message by the sender, OR
• Interpreted by the receiver as intended
• Do you agree that nonverbal communication must always be these
things? Why limit it?
There are two broad types of nonverbal codes:
spontaneous and symbolic communication.
Spontaneous
Symbolic
Nonverbal codes are often more trusted than verbal
codes.
Wow Lisa, this is so
interesting.
Discussion Question

Nonverbal codes, while influenced by culture, do
express more universal meaning.
Nonverbal codes occur in clusters.

Class Activity: Demonstrating Nonverbal Functions
• Get in groups of three
• Must have one phone that can take pictures or video and has
internet connection
• Take pictures or very short videos following instructions
• Email to Lisa
•[email protected]
Debriefing Questions
• How did the pictures/videos demonstrate:
• Proxemics, Kinesics, Artifacts, Vocalics, Chronemics, Olfactics, and
Haptics
• Clusters of nonverbal behaviors
• How can this activity help you in thinking about your own
nonverbal behavior?
Fun Fact
• Mirroring, or repeating someone’s body language, often impresses
a date because it subtly conveys interest to the other person.
However, one should avoid copying every move.
