Nonverbal Communication What did you learn? What is your muddiest point? Sign your name to your comment.

I learned that nonverbal communication is contast. I kind of struggled with static an dynamic nvc. -janay Crane

I learned nonverbal communication involves more than just facial expressions. I didn't realize how close or far you are from someone plays into communication. - Zac Johansen

I learned that proxemics is the study of space and distance in communication. A stranger may stand behind you very closely and often we feel very uncomfortable, but if a loved one, or close friend were to stand closely to us, we would be more comfortable and not weirded out. -Kaylee Murphy

Yea, it's all context!

I found it interesting the way the book described "the body buffer zone" being a natural aura that people have that is literally their personal space. Although, the size of this buffer zone can vary within different cultures, it was easy to see through our video assignment that if a stranger enters someone else's personal space, that person will become uncomfortable or feel awkward. I'm confused as to whether proxemics applies to the space between words or sentenses or if that is just timing and chronemics? -Logan Pulver

The flow, or space yes would be chronemics, proxemics deals with physical space. Steve

I learned that nonverbal communication is important and we use it everyday without noticing it. my muddy point about it is the difference between static and dynamic modes. Keith Back

I learned that we as a society expect to have our own personal space, no matter where we are (proxemics). Even in public we feel we own a certain area (body buffer). I never realized how territorial we are. My muddiest point are regulators. Todd K.

Regulators are gestures that regulate flow of a conversation, like make a stopping motion with your hand. Steve

I learned that nonverbal communication is a lot more than what we thought it was. My muddiest point was the elements of communication: proxemics, kinesics, vocalics, chronemics, and haptics. I am starting to remember what they mean.-Emily Wendel

Think of the root of the words, proxemics for proximity, chromemics is like a chronograph for time and so on. Steve

I learned that nonverbal communication involves more than just things such as waving, smiling, or pointing. I understand some of the things discussed in the book and when i think about it I can see how they relate to nonverbal communication but I am still having troubles with the things like proxemics, kinesics, haptics, etc. because I get them confused and can't remember what things are considered in those categories. -Kait Bailer

Haptics = touch, kinesics is akin to kinesiology which is the study of body movement. Vocalics is voice, proxemics is like proximity.

I learned that nonverbal communication included a lot of different elements that I would have never even thought about. After doing the nonverbal activity around campus, I realized how judgemental we are everyday of our lives, even when we don't realize it. What gets me the most is all the different elements of communication. I get them all mixed up! Proxemics, vocalics, kinesics, haptics, and chronemics. -Kimberly Galligan

Judgmental is ABOSLUTELY right! We judge each other so much in our society. I think you hit the nail on the head. Steve.

I learned that in nonverbal communicaation involves a lot of different elements, a lot more than i thought. Such as hands movements facial expresions, the way that you are standing, the distane between you and the other person, how the other person reacts, and even if you dont even purposely have communication with them, just simply walking by a person and both looking down as you pass each other is nonverbal communication. My muddiest point is probably the 3 different elements and the static and dynamic confuse me a bit. -Amanda Spaw

I'm glad it's opening you up to things you haven't thought of. Naming things helps bring it into your reality. Steve

I learned that nonverbal communication is alot more than just not talking. Its also distance, movement, vocal tone, gestures, eye movements and posture. Encoding and decoding help you improve your use of NVC by either projecting your emotions better or paying more attention to the other person you are interacting with. My muddiest point are the elements of NVC. For some reason I seem to get Proxemics and Kinesics mixed up. -Brooke Menchhofer

We'll go over them and how to remember them easier.

My muddiest point was the difference between dynamic and static NVC (examples of it) but you cleared that up during the review and I learned the different types of topics of NVC (Proxemics, Haptics etc.) and how that is involved daily with NVC, and how we use that within our relationships - Dana Glover

I enjoyed learning about teh diiferent aspects of nonverbal communication like proxemics. My muddiest point is what polysemic means. ~Abbi Kiefer

I learned a nonverbal process is when people encode what is said to them and then decode it for the meaning of what was said to them. I understand the static and dynamic consept but don't see how it relates to nonverbal. -Brittany Akins

I learned that nonverbals is more than just expressions it goes throughout all reactions. And my muddiest point would be all the different parts of nonverbal and also the difference between static and dynamic. Itseems like they can be different in different situations. -Shalyn Renfrow

I agree with shalyn in regards to the different parts of nonverbal and the difference between static and dynamic those are the ones I'm having trouble with -Aaron Vallejo

I learned that there are many ways that nonverbal communication is communicated. Not only do people say say so much through body language and expressions, but the people interpreting this nonverbal communication can do so in many ways. We give so much information about ourselves every day without even realizing it! My middest point was the elements of communication. I think i need to make flashcard.. -Veronica Hayes

Yep, seems like many do! We'll cover it in class.

I learned that nonverbal communication happens without us realizing we are doing it or reading it. I also learned that nonverbal communication is just as imortant as verbal communicaiton. I am still confused with the elements of cummunication. -Brittany Beard

Ok we'll cover it in class more.

I learned that there are static and dynamic parts of nonverbal communication. I suppose I had always assumed that it was just dynamic and never really considered (although I'm certain I've noticed) the role some things as static and subtle as makeup can have. My muddiest point: is encoding the same thing as "presentation" from earlier chapters? -Cody Fuelling

No. Encoding is simply figuring out what you are going to say or do nonverbally. You put what you're thinking into words or gestures. Presentation is one side of what you encoded, the side where you put your spin on the message. Steve

I learned that in non verbal communication one person is encoding a message and the other perosn has to decode the message. I would say my muddist point would be the difference bietween static and dynamaic modes of nonverbal communcation.

Static does not move or change, like color. Dyanimic is most often gestures or movements that we assign meaning. Steve

I learned that we all have a body buffer zone which is an imaginary aura around us that we regard to ourselves. We don't realize this until someone steps into our space and it makes us uncomfortable. Everyones is a little different. I saw first hand how people react when their personal bubble has been popped. My muddiest point would be encoding and decoding. How does someone encode and what is the difference of that from decoding? Carly Huth

Think of decoding like a decoder ring in A Christmas Story, you have to translate (decode) the message that was sent. Now, someone has to have encoded it first, or thought about what was going to be said. So a sender encodes, and receiver decodes.

I learned that nonverbal communication involves everything from gestures, body language and even simple communication that is used everyday. It is almost as it is embeded into how we communicate. We don't think about all the ways we act when we communicate with someone. Some of those parts involve nonverbal communication. Something as simple as aknowledging someone could be a form of nonverbal communication. -Kara Bennett

Yep, we take alot of it for granted.

i learned that nonverbal communication is all around us. we even do it without even knowing we are. the three different elements confuse me still a bit. and I apologize I didn't do it earlier I had a hard time finding it on my mindomo appmayson Whitman

I learned that in nonverbal cummunication it is always continous even if we don't relaize it. We always send out messages by our body language. My muddist point would be the difference between statica nd dynmatic. -Ryan Burns
