nonverbal behaviors is to consider
the actions in groups.
 Sign language and written words are
not considered nonverbal
communication


Vocalics
 or Paralanguage
Environment

1. PROXEMICS

Proxemics
 refers to the study
of how space and distance
influence communication.
For example, when we are

content with and attracted to
someone, we say we are
“close” to him or her.
Mentend to take up more space than
women.
a) Intimate Distance-actual touching to 6-18
inches
b) Personal Distance-18 inches to 4 feet
This includes the “hidden dimension” or your
“personal bubble”
c) Social Distance- 4 to 12 feet
d) Public Distance-12-25 feet
2.HAPTICS
The study of touch as a means of
nonverbal communication.
 Think of how touch has the power to
comfort someone in moment of sorrow
when words alone cannot.
 Touch is necessary for human social
development, and it can be welcoming,
threatening, or persuasive.
3. CHRONEMICS
 The study of how time affects
communication and includes how different
time cycles affect our communication,
including the differences between people
who are past or future oriented and
cultural perspectives on time as fixed and
measured (monochronic) or fluid and
adaptable (polychronic).
4. KINESICS
 The word kinesics comes from the root word
kinesis, which means “movement,” and refers
to the study of hand, arm, body, and face
movements.
a) Facial expressions
b) Eye contact
c) Body language
d) Gestures
e) Physical appearance
5. ARTIFACTS
 Objects and images are also tools that can be
used to communicate nonverbally.
 People often spend a great deal of time
developing a particular image and surrounding
themselves with objects designed to convey
information about the things that are important to
them.
For example, you might select an avatar to
represent your identity online and to communicate
information about who you are and the things you
like.
6. VOCALICS (PARALANGUAGE)

The study of paralanguage.

Use of voice to communicate includes elements such as
pitch, rate, pauses, volume, tone of voice, silences, laughs,
screams, sighs.
7. ENVIRONMENT

Refers to how the objects we adorn

ourselves and our surroundings with,
referred to as artifacts, provide nonverbal
cues that others make meaning from and
how our physical environment—for
example, the layout of a room and seating
positions and arrangements—influences
communication.
