Non-verbal communication encompasses all communicative behaviors excluding verbal elements, focusing on aspects like space, time, kinesics, symbols, and paralanguage. It examines the significance of gestures, expressions, and personal symbols in conveying attitudes and emotions. Effective non-verbal communication can enhance interpersonal relationships by fostering better understanding and connection.

- 3. • Attitudes • Feelings • Emotions Although the term nonverbal communication includes almost everything from which meaning can be derived except verbal (written and oral) communication, the most important aspects of nonverbal communication behaviour are use of space, time, kinetics, symbols, and paralanguage.
- 4. A. Proxemics • Intimate Zone • Personal Zone • Business and Social Zone • Public Zone B. Territory • The amount of territory we control: • How well protected our territory is: and • The degree of access we have to the territory of others.
- 5. • How much time is allotted. • What kind of time is allotted. • Who waits for whom and for how long.
- 6. A. Open And Closed Expressions 1. Eye Contact 2. Body Rhythms: 3. Posture B. Gestures Gestures which leave a POSITIVE IMPRESSION ● Nodding of head to say “Yes” or “No” to something ● (This makes your answers clear) ● Raising of eyebrows to show surprise. ● Movement of hands while talking to make your ideas more impressive.
- 7. ● Keeping a sober expression if the topic is serious ● Smiling when expressing your thanks or on being appreciated. ● Avoid bad habits & mannerisms – like Scratching. Shifting on your seat, shaking your legs, picking your nose, etc.
- 8. All nonverbal communication is symbolic in the sense that the nonverbal language stands for concepts and ideas in the same way the verbal language does. But certain aspects of nonverbal -communication are deliberately symbolic in that we use those aspects to establish a particular identity or to communicate a specific idea consistently. In this culture the best-Known examples include the obscene gesture of the upraised middle finger, the "V' for victory (or peace, depending" on your generation), and the clenched fist representing power and solidarity. When the symbol mimics the appearance of the things or concept it signifies, it is called a Sign.
- 9. The last aspect of nonverbal communication we will mention is paralanguage. Paralanguage consists of nonverbal vocal elements such as laughing, crying, throat clearing, inflection, volume, tone, rate, pitch, and enunciation. In short, any sound or variation in sound patterns is paralanguage because it communicates a nonverbal message.
- 10. ● Clothes ● Hair ● Jewellery ● Cosmetics, or Makeup
- 11. ● Automobiles ● Choice and location of our houses ● Geography of our living spaces
- 12. Many people feel a little guilty about learning to read and control nonverbal behaviour. They think that consciously reading someone’s nonverbal cues constitutes an invasion of privacy, and that controlling their own nonverbal signals id a misrepresentation of their true selves. But understanding and using nonverbal communication more effectively has a valid goal: to improve interpersonal relationships by understanding the attitudes and feelings that accompany verbal communication.
- 13. ● Make yourself comfortable with the other. Avoid being too close or too far away physically. (Within two feet is a comfortable range.) ● Be relaxed and attentive. To gain acceptance lean slightly toward the other. Avoid slouching or sitting rigidly. ● Maintain frequent eye contact. Avoid staring, glaring, or looking away.
