WHAT IS SOCIAL PSYCHOLOGY?
• SOCIAL PSYCHOLOGY IS THE SCIENTIFIC STUDY OF HOW PEOPLE'S
THOUGHTS, FEELINGS, AND BEHAVIORS ARE INFLUENCED BY THE
ACTUAL, IMAGINED, OR IMPLIED PRESENCE OF OTHERS.
• THE STUDY OF ATTITUDES IS A CORE TOPIC IN SOCIAL PSYCHOLOGY.
• IN GENERAL, SOCIAL PSYCHOLOGISTS HAVE A PREFERENCE FOR
LABORATORY BASED, EMPIRICAL FINDINGS.
• THEIR THEORIES TEND TO BE SPECIFIC AND FOCUSED, RATHER THAN
GLOBAL AND GENERAL.
NONVERBAL
COMMUNICATION
• SOCIAL PSYCHOLOGY INCLUDES MANY THINGS
AND ONE OF THEM IS NONVERBAL
COMMUNICATION
• EXPERTS HAVE FOUND THAT EVERY DAY WE
RESPOND TO THOUSANDS OF NONVERBAL CUES
AND BEHAVIORS.
• WHY IS IMPORTANT? YOUR NONVERBAL
COMMUNICATION SKILLS CAN CREATE A
POSITIVE (OR A NEGATIVE) IMPRESSION.
• FOR EXAMPLE: CROSSED ARMS CAN SEEM
DEFENSIVE. POOR POSTURE MAY APPEAR
UNPROFESSIONAL. 
•  A DOWNWARD GAZE OR AVOIDING EYE CONTACT
CAN DETRACT FROM YOU BEING SEEN AS
CONFIDENT.
TYPES OF NONVERBAL COMMUNICATION:

• FACIAL EXPRESSIONS
• GESTURES
• BODY LANGUAGE AND POSTURE
• EYE GAZE
• HAPTICS (COMMUNICATION
THROUGH TOUCH)
• APPEARANCE
• ARTIFACTS (OBJECTS AND IMAGES)
IN A NUTSHELL..,
• IT IS A SCIENCE OF MIND AND THE
WAY A PERSON REACTS TO A GIVEN
SITUATION.
• AND SINCE EVERY PERSON IS
UNIQUE, IT IS DIFFICULT TO COME
TO A CERTAIN CONCLUSION.
• IT IS A BROAD CATEGORY OF
STUDIES AND JUST LIKE ANY OTHER
SUBJECT IT NEED DEDICATION AND
HARDWORK.
• IN ADDITION, PSYCHOLOGY
REQUIRES A LOT OF PHYSICAL
EXPERIMENTS AND INTERACTIONS.
THANK YOU FOLKS!
