Read and understand.
Saki is having a conversation with Hayley. They were very
happy talking about their funny senior high school experiences
from their respective countries.
In the middle of the conversation, Hayley said, “You are such a
funny man, I like your sense of humor.” Saki nodded and said, “I
want to rov you like my own sister.” Hayley’s face went pale and
asked what Saki meant. Saki repeated, “I want to rov you.”
Then Hayley said, “Is that what you’re doing to your sister?”
Then Saki agreed. After a few minutes, Saki found himself
explaining to the police officer that what he meant was to “love”
the woman and not to “rub” nor “rob” her.

Nonverbal Messages in Communication
Following are the ways in which we can communicate
nonverbally.
• Posture is the position in which you hold your
body while standing, sitting or lying down.
• Eye Contact (Oculesics) – this is one way to
show interest or sincerity. Glaring is different from
staring and so we have to be careful when using
these two in different situations.
Nonverbal Messages in Communication

• Gestures – these are hand movement used to

emphasize a point.
• Proximity – this is the distance of the message
sender to the receiver.
• Tone – this includes the pitch, volume, and
inflection of your voice
HOW NONVERBAL
COMMUNICATION
CAN GO WRONG?
Nonverbal Messages in Communication
Arlene
• is attractive and has no problem meeting eligible men,
but she has a difficult time maintaining a relationship for
longer than a few months. Arlene is funny and
interesting, but even though she constantly laughs and
smiles, she radiates tension. Her shoulders and eyebrows
are noticeably raised, her voice is shrill, and her body is
stiff. Being around Arlene makes many people feel
anxious and uncomfortable. Arlene has a lot going for her
that is undercut by the discomfort she evokes in others.
Nonverbal Messages in Communication
Ted
• thought he had found the perfect match when he met
Sharon, but Sharon wasn’t so sure. Ted is good looking,
hardworking, and a smooth talker, but seemed to care
more about his thoughts than Sharon’s. When Sharon had
something to say, Ted was always ready with wild eyes
and a rebuttal before she could finish her thought. This
made Sharon feel ignored, and soon she started dating
other men. Ted loses out at work for the same reason. His
inability to listen to others makes him unpopular with
many of the people he most admires.
Nonverbal Messages in Communication
Jack
• believes he gets along great with his colleagues at work,
but if you were to ask any of them, they would say that
Jack is “intimidating” and “very intense.” Rather than just
look at you, he seems to devour you with his eyes. And if
he takes your hand, he lunges to get it and then squeezes
so hard it hurts. Jack is a caring guy who secretly wishes
he had more friends, but his nonverbal awkwardness
keeps people at a distance and limits his ability to
advance at work.
