Question

1. Chapter 7 explains that nonverbal communication serves many functions, including substituting, accenting, regulating, and contradicting. Identify examples of each function in one or both of the scenarios.

Answer 1

Answer:

Two scenarios where all examples of non-verbal communication functions are shown are:

"Your mother wants to tell you that she will go to yours, but she doesn't want your little brother to hear, in which case, she replaces the words, with a movement with her hands that indicates that she will leave the house. In this conversation you include an information using your hand to indicate to your mother where the car keys are. "

"Your friend is talking to you about her new boyfriend, she talks about how aggressive he is, but that is because he loves her very much. You contradict what she says, making a movement with your head that indicates denial and says that this is not an ideal behavior for someone in love. Your friend shakes her hands trying to change what she said, but you regulate the situation by raising a hand and saying that you don't want to hear any more. "
