Importance Of Nonverbal Communication






Right in ’60 years, some specialists in this subject, started to speak more often about the importance of nonverbal communication. Nowadays, almost all of us have knowledge about this type of communication. But the question is other. How much of us use the knowledge about importance of nonverbal communication? In this article, I’d like to give some examples about nonverbal communication and I’ll start with the most simple like the rhythm of our way in talking.




So, the rhythm we talk like affection displays are very important for our discussion partner. For lots of people, a slow rhythm indicates hesitation but a very alert rhythm indicates anxiety and indecision. On the other side, talking about affection displays, they were studied lot of time ago but we cannot speak about it than in a generalization manner because affection displays are too many and also their meaning it’s different.

But, some affection displays are well known in the whole world like the eyebrow display: completely raised, they indicate hesitation, half raised they indicate a surprise, in a normal pose the eyebrows indicate the absence of reactions and criteria, half sunk they indicate perplexity and totally sunk the eyebrows indicate disgust, angry. The visual contact is another characteristic of nonverbal communication. It has functions in moderating a conversation, delivering feed-back, in expressing our feelings and also, it can transmit information about the relation between two interlocutors. The visual contact is the most important characteristic of communication. Many of our appreciations are instinctive, what we are used to call “the first impression” it’s more the result of period and type of our interlocutor’s look. Lots of examinations show that we are choosing our discussion’s partners from those persons who accord to us visual interest and especially we can look into his eyes. Other elements of nonverbal communication are the gestures and our outfit. Very short alert motions indicate angry and distance while ample motions indicate an artistic spirit or, in other cases, can indicate a person who’s not very sure about her ability of talking. What’s correlating to our outfit, I’m sure that every magazine talks about its importance, about our social roles and also about the effect upon the others.

There are some persons that aren’t used in having a business array. How can they cope with an important interview? My piece of advice it’d be to choose a decent look in which they feel comfortable and not clothes “as the book says”. If we don’t feel well in our skin and we don’t recognize the person from those clothes, the chances to make the others feel okay in our presence are extremely doubtful. I hope this article made you to understand better the importance of nonverbal communication and now, in your way to an important interview, try not thinking on some intelligent answers you must give but greatest it’d be to listen a song that you like very much, to relax and to have an hopeful smile on your face.
