Return to the eight principles of nonverbal
communication. Pick two
principles, and provide new examples of how they operate in a group or team.
The first principle that I
pick is the quality of relationships among group members is established and
perpetuate through nonverbal behavior. This principle is extremely relevant
when we first meet someone. It is because we barely know that person, our
nonverbal communication will help them determine how we feel about that certain
person. This principle can also be applied to people who already know each
other. An example of this would be someone grabbing extra handouts for a friend
during a meeting or class. This shows me that they are close enough friends
that this person would do this for the other, also stating that this person
kept the other person in mind.
I thought the third
principle was pretty interesting as well; nonverbal communication becomes
meaningful when one of more parties assigns meaning to it. For example when I am
leaning on my friend, it means that I am tired and I want to take a nap. We
both get that message because it is kind of a habit of mine in which my friends
took notice and came to a realization that is what happens when I get tired.
