Note Outline

Nonverbal

Freud wrote that all behavior is meaningful.

Whether he was right or not it is certain that all behavior is assigned meaning by others.

Bernard Gunther portrays nonverbal communication in the following way:

Shaking hands your posture, facial expressions, your appearance, hair color, how close you stand to others, the expression in your eyes, how you listen, your confidence, your breathing, the way you move, the way you stand, how you touch other people,

These aspects of you affect your relationship with other people often without you or them realizing it.

TERMS:

1. Kinesics – Commonly called body language. It is the scientific study of the body movement involved in communication and how they accompany speech
