Conduct a qualitative assessment of your nonverbal communication

Conduct a qualitative assessment of your nonverbal communication in the areas selected. Look for strengths and weaknesses. Focus on the seven nonverbal behavioural areas listed below. What did you learn? What, if any, alterations would you like to make? Include at least four appropriate citations from the textbook in your essay.

Secondly, What you learned from the assessment will be used to analyze your results.

Thirdly, Based on the recording and what the other participants told you, were you surprised?

Fourthly, In the final page, briefly summarize three nonverbal behavioral areas that you wish to improve on.

Why are these three areas particularly important to you? What is your plan to help you achieve these changes?

Also, briefly discuss your nonverbal areas of strength.

Nonverbal communication

1.  Eye contact/Eye behaviour. Is this source of connection missing, too intense, or just right in yourself or in the person you are looking at? What are you communicating to the other person through the way you are looking at them? (Interest, affection, hostility, attraction, boredom)

2.  Facial expression.  What is your face showing? Is it masklike and inexpressive, or emotionally present and filled with interest? What do you see as you look into the faces of the other person? Describe emotions you see in you and the other person (sadness, happiness, confusion, fear, anger, surprise….)

3.  Tone of voice .Does your voice project warmth, confidence, and delight, or is it strained and blocked? What do you hear as you listen to other people?

4.  Posture and gesture. Does your body look still and immobile, or relaxed? What do you observe about the degree of tension or relaxation in the body of the person you are speaking to? What gestures are over or under used?

5.  Intensity (amount of energy you project)   Do you or the person you are communicating with seem flat, cool, and disinterested, or over-the-top and melodramatic? Again, this has as much to do with what feels good to the other person as it does with what you personally prefer.

6.  Timing and pacing.  What happens when you or someone you care about makes an important statement? Does a response—may not be verbal—come too quickly or too slowly? Is there an easy flow of information back and forth? Is one of you “talking over” the other? Interrupting?

7.  Sounds. Do you use sounds to indicate that you are attending to the other person? Do you pick up on sounds from others that indicate their caring or concern for you? (Uh-huh,
ahhh, ummm)
