COM2006- Interpersonal Communication
WHAT IS NONVERBAL COMMUNICATION?
•
Nonverbal communication is all about saying what is not said by expressing our emotion through facial expressions, the way we dress, our demeanor, the space between a person, gestures, and eye contact or lack thereof (South University Online, 2023). •
Nonverbal communication is seemed through face-to-face conversations and there are ten different ways that people can express and interpret what people are trying to say without words (Floyd, 2020).
Most people don’t realize you can learn a lot about how a person is feeling during a conversation by looking at their pupils (Ciancarini, 2021).
Size shows if a person is surprised, alert, bored, in love and so much more.
Pupil dilation
Eye contact shows that you have respect for what the person is saying and you want to be attentive to the conversation (Floyd, 2020).
Majority of the time eye contact is used people better retain what is being said.
Eye contact
Did you know when your eyes close for too long during conversation you are saying something to the recipient?
Closing eyes too long is a sign of thinking, concentrating, and reflecting.
It keeps those in conversation from wanting to interrupt.
Closed eyes
When someone rolls their eyes in conversation it is always negative (Ciancarini, 2021).
It shows immaturity, aggression and neglect of what the person is saying.
It is passive aggressive and most times not done face to face but when the person can’t see them (Floyd, 2020). Eye rolls

Waving hands
This is mostly fidgeting
People when the feel nervous, upset or scared they squeeze their hand or hands mostly showing their knuckles (Floyd, 2020).
Another form is cracking knuckles or fingers during conversation to show anger and aggression Hand-
wringing
There are so many ways covering your mouth through conversation can be interpreted but they aren’t all bad.
Covering mouth could be polite if someone needed to cough, yawn or belch (Ciancarini, 2021).
A sign of excitement especially using two hands showing you are speechless.
Or covering a frown, laugh or disapproval Covering Mouth
MOVEMENT AND GESTURES
Waving hands is a greeting to say hello, goodbye and acknowledge someone's presence.
Sometimes people wave their hands as a sign that they are uncomfortable or frantic this happens most times when someone is disable.
When I think of this form of nonverbal communication the first thing that comes to my mind is stranger danger. When a kid feels threatened or scared they put distance between them and the person (Ciancarini, 2021).
Second, when someone is close or real comfortable with the other person they tend to be closer together almost as if they can reach out and touch them when sharing a laugh or comfort when sharing a cry.
Third, a show of power we see this in movies and in real life especially in a business setting or something that shows rank like the military majority of the time it is distance or further space between each person (Ciancarini, 2021). Used space is a unexpected sign of nonverbal communication!
THE USED SPACE
SEX AND GENDER
Just as we found that a persons sex and gender and impact how they relate to people and their listening styles (South University Online, 2023). We see that certain things when it comes to non-verbal cues in communication can be found mostly with females (Archer, 2001).
Eye rolling and other behaviors and facial expression as well as gestures can be seen majority in woman because we are all about showing attitude and we are emotional creatures who for a lot of us starts with birth (Floyd, 2020).
However on the other side men are known more to show dominance by standing tall or establishing space or lack thereof to prove their rank or status. It honestly goes back to animalistic conflict when males try to impress a female through feathers and

NON-VERBAL COMMUNICATION CUES VS CULTURE
When it comes to culture you would be surprised how showing different forms of non-verbal communication can actually be frowned upon or even encouraged.
Like for example if a male stomps off, rolls his eyes, crosses his arms or puts his hands on his face when he is upset or sad it is frowned on in many black cultures. It is a sign of weakness or being too feminine and they can get into trouble at an early age.
However on the other hand in black, Asian, and Mexican cultures if a man shows his dominance by shaking someone's hand with force, puffing their chest out, or trying stand close or atop of someone inferior it is encouraged. To a lot of cultures, it establishes your man hood (Archer, 2001).
There are other non-verbal communication cues that establishes wealth and beauty in other cultures such as the attire woman wear.
