Non-verbal communication (NVC) is often mistakenly referred to as simply the observation of physical ‘body language’. But this ancient, invisible form of subconscious communication in perpetual motion, encompasses much more than that. In non-verbal communication we examine everything that is communicated; from physical gestures, spatial distance, bodily orientation, and movement, to all the subtle micro transmissions conveyed in vocal paralinguistics.
Why Study Non-Verbal Communication?
This module begins with an overview of the real nature of non-verbal communication, including traditional methods of physical facial expressions, gestures, spatial distance, and other subtle cues hidden not only in visual but auditory observation and written communication. You will discover when we first learn this ancient art of transmission; how much of our communication is non-verbal, the role that paralinguistics plays in NVC, the impact of social media on communication, and how, outside of pop psychology micro-cues, we can really spot a liar! An ability that becomes increasingly easier when you realise that people can lie, but the mind does not.
