Observing Non-Verbal Communication

Non-verbal confabulation is the process of communicating that is characterized by the absence of words unless earlier communicating, sending and receiving mess eons via bodily language, styles, and symbols.I tried to observe this type of conference in the parkland with a particular male and female as a target subjects. A young man, possibly 20 yrs of age and a woman, more or less of the same age group, were conversing in the park at 5 PM in the afternoon. I subroutine the term conversation loosely here. Using the concept of proxemics, parks would be classified under the group, public territory, notwithstanding I note that, broadly speaking speaking, such places would have no control on the behavior of the concourse people there would exceed territorial rights with regards to their behavior.Without thoughtful analysis, the first idea that had entered my head was that the man and the woman were in a relation but apparently I cannot make a concluding line near this. Physical appearances suggest informal relations as suggested by their routine appearances. Both were wearing pants with the female wearing a sound tank top and the male wearing a faded statement shirt. There is a high possibility that their meeting was not channel or work associated. I disregarded Monochromatic time register in favor of Poly-chronic time schedule since the subjects conversation and appearances were evidently in-person.Kinesic converse of the subjects facial expressions, body movements, gestures, and posturereveal one important topic the subjects conversation was neither intimate but sort of harried, constrained and angry. There was an obvious lack of touch between the ii which would denote friendship or love. The woman was gesticulating her give wildly, and at some point in time, she was waving her right slew at the right empty space indicating that she was emphasizing something to the man. Her shoulders were not slumped but rather posed upwards indicating a su per constrained emotion.Her feet was braced apart and she walking around wildly. Her organisation was clearly angry her brows were haggard together in a frown and most probably her nostrils were ripening bigger or flaring up, with her irises dilating indicating, a high emotional state. The sides of her mouthpiece were slanted downwards as she was talking clearly indicating a prejudicial emotion. Her curly hair was moving with the movement of her mouth. Blood was rushing to her face which makes her face really look red indeed. When the male was talking, she was rolling her eyeball, indicating mockery and disbelief to what the person was verbalise. She was intentionally severe or trying to appear like she was not listening to the other person was saying when she was looking away at the other direction.The male subject was evenly angry. His stance, shoulders upwards were poised for a fight but he was antisubmarine as indicated by the arms that were crossed high on his chest. When he was not talking, his lips were drawn in tight line and he was highly attentive what the female was saying because he did not remove his eye from her. His eyes were in slits, indicating anger and at some point, he was overly gesticulating his hands indicating that he was forcefully explaining something to the female.I observed that proxemics for the park as a space was clearly loosely defined as to the public territorial usage the subjects were clearly using the space for personal purposes. Movement and body position of my subjects hinges towards negative emotional responses, ost specially that of aerated anger. The subjects exhibited negative attitudes, and mostly involuntary non-verbal communication. All messages transmitted between the two were conscous and deliberate and not subliminal their conversation was intended to say something and both(prenominal) were equally aware of it.BibliographyArgyle, M.
