The
two principles I pick are number two and five. They are: (2) Our nonverbal communication is likely to be believed
more than our verbal communication. (5) Cultural
norms and expectations guide our interpretation. For number two the
expression, "Actions speak louder than words" fit perfectly with this
principle. A new example of how this operates in a group or team would be this:
Laura and her group have to plan an event. Laura says she will be in charge of
decorations but doesn't get any of the supplies. Now her team doesn't believe
she will thoroughly do her job because she didn't do what she said she would.
For principle number five here is a new example: in gymnastics class if the
teacher walks to another place, the students are expected to follow. If the
teacher says let's go and doesn't move, then the students won't go. But if the
teacher moves then the students tend to move as well.
Hi Jinxx21,
ReplyDeleteThe 8 principles of nonverbal communication are all important. I liked reading your examples on the principles two and five. You mentioned for two, that actions speak louder than words. I agree with you and that is actually what I thought of when reading that principle. It is true that our nonverbal communication is more likely to be believed then our verbal communication. Your examples for five are also easy to understand and show that we follow people when they talk and like you said that if the teacher moves, then the students will follow. But if the teacher says lets go and doesn’t move, then the students won’t go. Great job giving examples.
