1. Non-verbal
Communication
SYBBA-GENERAL _ SEMESTER-ODD

3.  Nonverbal communication (NVC) is the transmission of
messages or signals through a nonverbal platform such
as eye contact, facial expressions, gestures, posture, and the
distance between two individuals. It includes the use of
visual cues such as body language (kinesics), distance
(proxemics) and physical environments/appearance, of
(paralanguage) and of touch (haptics).[1] It can also include
the use of time (chronemics) and eye contact and the
of looking while talking and listening, frequency of glances,
patterns of fixation, pupil dilation, and blink rate (oculesics).

4. Nonverbal communication involves
the conscious and unconscious processes
of encoding and decoding. Encoding is the act of
generating information such as facial expressions,
gestures, and postures. Encoding information
utilizes signals which we may think to be
universal. Decoding is the interpretation of
information from received sensations given by the
encoder. Decoding information utilizes knowledge
one may have of certain received sensations.

5. Non-verbal Communication
 Body Language (Kinesics)
 Facial Expression
 Gestures
 Postures
 Proxemics (distance Language)
 Chronemics (Time Language)
 Haptic (Touch Language)
 Paralanguage
 Nodes

6. There are five major forms of non-verbal
media:
1. Proxemics (spatial),
2. Kinesics,
3. Chronemics (use of time),
4. Paralingual (vocal cues), and
5. Artifacts (objective language)

7. Proxemics
refers to the study of how we use space to
communicate message. Halt Edward describes
human relationship in terms of four kinds of
distances viz.
 intimate,
 personal,
 social, and
 public.
Developed by Edward Hall

11.  Based on these insights, and after conducting his own
research, Edward Hall developed the idea of a set of
expanding circles, called reaction bubbles, that described
how humans manage the space around them. The
innermost circle he identified as Intimate space, reserved
for those we are closest to, and usually measuring 6 to 18
inches (15 to 45cm) in radius. The next level up he dubbed
Personal space, the distance we are comfortable
maintaining with close friends, about 1.5 to 4 feet (0.5 to
1.2m). He used the term Social space to indicate our
preferred proximity to acquaintances, about 5–12 feet (1.5–
3.6m), and Public space for the distance we need for public
speaking, 12–25 feet or more (3.6–7.6m).

12. Kinesics

13. Kinesics (Body Language)
Facial expression
posture
body movements
Gestures
eye-contact
Haptics (touch).

14. Facial expression
face is the best non-verbal
conveyor of the message among all
other non-verbal aspects of kinesic
importance. We can look into the
face of the person and know his
real sentiments and reactions.

17. The universal expressions are:
Surprise
Fear
Disgust
Contempt
Anger
Sadness
Happiness

18. Eyes
The only thing more telling than the
eyebrows are the eyes3themselves.
They might be:
 Wide open (surprise)
 Intensely staring (anger)
 Have crow's feet crinkles (happy)

19. Mouth
The final piece of the facial expression
has to do with the mouth.1Look for:
 A dropped jaw (surprise)
 Open mouth (fear)
 One side of the mouth raised (hate)
 Corners raised (happiness)
 Corners drawn down (sadness)

20. Other signals to look for are:
Lip biting (anxiety)
Pursed lips (distaste)
Covering the mouth (hiding
something)

21. Practices
 ANGRY
 CONTEMPT
 DISGUST
 FEAR
 HAPPY
 SAD
 SURPRISE
 NEUTRAL
