Q:1> EXPLAIN THE ROLE OF EYE CONTACT IN COMMUNICATION?
Eye contact: An introduction to its role in communication Some are blue and some
are green. Some are brown and others hazel. That’s right: the subject is eyes, but more importantly than the color of
someone’s eyes is what their eyes are saying. Not only do our see for us, but they are also a mode of
communication. A person can communicate with their eyes and never say a word. Our eyes show emotion or interest
and if thought about too much, making eye contact can become awkward and uncomfortable.

Have you thought about eye contact as a skill? As adults, using appropriate eye contact can be difficult. What about
youth? Eye contact can be tied to so many life skills that it’s important for our youth to practice and learn about eye
contact as a communication skill. Consider for a moment using eye contact to show empathy, concern for others, to
manage feelings or to help with communication. Those are all life skills that youth will grow and develop as they
mature into successful adults.

Now, let’s dig a little deeper. Eye contact during a conversation is vital. It shows attentiveness and interest in what is
being said. Eye contact is similar to a conversation; it goes back and forth between those individuals who are
engaged in a discussion, dialogue, or chat. But remember, just as maintaining eye contact is important, be sure not to
stare! It can be easy to get caught up in a story that is being told, waiting for the next joke to be said, or listening so
intently for the next word that may be spoken that you forget what you’re eye contact might be saying. Staring can
create a feeling of uneasiness for both the person talking and the person listening. It’s hard to find that balance of
having enough eye contact, but not too much.

Don’t worry if eye contact is something you struggle with. It’s likely that everyone will have a conversation
sometime where they can identify some characteristics of odd eye contact, as well as characteristics of really great
eye contact. Remember to learn from that. Whichever extreme you experience take a mental note of what you liked
and didn’t like.

According to Conversation Aid, there are a few points that can summarize the importance of eye contact:

1:Eye contact opens and closes communication

2:Increased eye contact is associated with credibility and dominance

3:Lack of contact and blinking are interpreted as submissive

4:High status people are looked at, and look more while talking than listening

Stares communicate hostility.

Q:2> WHAT ARE FOUR DIFFERENT SPACE ZONE?DISCUSS

1:Space in communication. When we discuss space in a

nonverbal context, we mean the space between objects and people. Space is often associated with social rank and is
an important part of business communication. People from diverse cultures may have different normative space
expectations.

Zones: Broadly, the four distinct

zones are >:Intimate Zone
>:Personal Zone >:Social Zone
>:Public Zone 1:INTIMATE ZONE
The space within intimate distance and personal distance is called personal space.An intimate zone is reserved for
close friends, lovers, children and close family members. Another zone is used for conversations with friends, to
chat with associates, and in group discussions.

2:PERSONAL ZONE

The distance that you like to keep between you and people in order to feel comfortable, For example when you are
talking to someone or travelling on a bus or train.

Personal space is a region surrounding a person which they regard as psychologically theirs. Most people value their
personal space and feel discomfort,anger or anxiety when their personal space is encroached.

2:SOCIAL ZONE

The social zone is four to twelve feet apart. This is the space used for public and casual social conversations. It
allows others to enter into the group. It can be fascinating to watch people conversing in a group; they resemble fish
in a school as they move in and out to make a comfortable space for new entries.

4:PUBLIC ZONE

This is the space used for public and casual social conversations. It allows others to enter into the group. It can be
fascinating to watch people conversing in a group; they resemble fish in a school as they move in and out to make a
comfortable space for new entries. The public zone is more than twelve feet.

Q:3>PROXEMICS PLAY A PROMINENT ROLE IN COMMUNICATION.JUSTIFY.

Proxemics refers to the study of use of space (or lack of space) in human interactions. It studies a subset of
nonverbal communication. Normally nonverbal communication also includes things like facial expressions and
gesturing, but proxemics doesn’t look at these things as much, instead focusing mostly on how close people get to
each other.

Proxemics can study communication of things like comfort/discomfort (moving closer often signals greater comfort
and intimacy, moving farther often signals discomfort), and assertion of power (a person might move into
someone’s personal space as an assertion of power, but a person could also be very physically distant for the same
reason; similarly, a person might stand their ground in a situation where another person might normally back off due
to proximity.)

One reason that Proxemics is interesting is that the use of space is highly variable culturally, often due to the
physical constraints in the environments that different cultures arise in.

For example, I have noticed that Chinese people, especially people who are coming over from China nowadays,
often seem to “get up in your face” more than is normal or common for people in the U.S., i.e. they get physically
closer to you when talking, and they allow you to get physically closer to them before becoming comfortable (or
even noticing). This may be explained in large part by the fact that much of China is very densely populated, so
Chinese people are used to living in closer quarters with other people, having less space available as they go through
their days. The U.S. is a pretty spacious country, and so we tend to leave more space. I’ve also noticed more subtle
differences between the U.S. and Europe, in that Americans tend to leave a little more space than Europeans, and
this may also correspond to differences in population density.

Even within the U.S. there can be considerable difference, and it often corresponds to population density. For
example, I’ve noticed that people in Boston tend to get “up in my face” more than what I’m used to (I grew up in
south central PA and spent significant portions of my life in Ohio and Delaware), but I also have met people from
areas like the desert areas of the American West, who seem to leave even more space that me. One of my friends
from Eastern Washington state once expressed to me that she felt like everyone on the east coast left too little space
and she often felt uncomfortable with it. For example, she said she preferred to talk to people while standing next to
them, so you could both look the same direction together while having a conversation, whereas here, most people
face you directly.

It’s a very rich and fascinating subject, and I find being aware of it has helped me to have better and more
comfortable interactions with people from different cultures.
