Intercultural Reality Check: Do-AblesCurrent Lecture-The Impact of Nonverbal Communication oNonverbal Communication-Message exchange process involving the use of nonlinguistic and paralinguistic cues which are expressed through multiple communication channels in a particular sociocultural setting-Nonlinguistic cues - Ex, eye contact, smiles, touch, etc-Paralinguistic cues - Ex. tone, pitch, volume, pace, etc-Multiple channels - Ex. facial expressions, gestures, etc-Sociocultural setting - Ex. cultural norms, etc oOne Code, Countless InterpretationsoVerbal and Nonverbal ComparisonsNonverbal cues relate to verbal messages in different way:-Repeat (ideas of messages)-Contradict -Substitute (nodding yes instead of speaking it)-Complement (smiling, higher pitch of voice when you like something)-Accent (highlight what is being said) -Forms of Nonverbal CommunicationoPhysical Appearance: Artifacts and clothing (artifacts = ornaments/adornments)-Religious clothing, dressing upoParalanguage: Sounds and Tones-Paralinguistic features = nonword sounds and characteristics of speech (Ex, volume loud/soft, articulation - mouth, teeth tongue coordination/ to slur your words)-Facial Expressions: Kinesics, SADFISH, and cultural display rulesKinesics - posture; body movement; gestures; facial expressionSadness, anger, disgust, fear, interest, surprise, happiness = SADFISHoGestures: Four Categories -Emblems - gestures that substitute for words/phrases-Illustrators - gestures used along with spoken words -Regulators - nonverbal behaviors we use to control, maintain or regulate the flow of conversation-Adaptors - habits/gestures that fulfill some kind of psychological need oHaptics - touch behaviors-High-, low- moderate-contact cultures -Boundary Regulations: Four Broad ThemesoRegulating Interpersonal Boundaries (Personal space = territoriality) -Proxemics: study of spaceIntimate Zone: 0-18 inches.
