Zusammenfassung: | The task of nonverbal communication research has been to discover the unwritten rules established by centuries of communication through language without words. Studies in this field include research on: (1) facial affect (classification of facial expressions according to the emotional states they represent); (2) the consistency of nonverbal behavior; (3) body movements, positions, and gestures; (4) proxemics (the study of distance between the communicator and addressee); (5) the systematization of the body language; (6) gestural behavior; and (7) visual contact and interaction. It is concluded that: (1) Nonverbal behavior is consistent; (2) Measurement techniques have been developed; and (3) People may be easily trained to detect nonverbal cues and signals. R. Laskey |
