pleasures (eyes raising, smile...)

sadness (lips, cheeks , bird, eyes...)

anger (bird, forehead, eyebrows...)

un-interest or depressions (stone face, absence of face muscles and movements)

Appearing of jokes (grimases, smile...)


Postures

Attitude of body & body movements

By means what people feel to others, if there is pressure, depression, insecure

Attitude of body influences also everybody's custom


Proximal zones

public**5M<


Gesticulation

Adapters --- movements with needn't feelings

Illustrators---- “ so big fish”…

Regulators---- “ you can see chart here and points”

Symbols------ thumb raising, head shaking


Haptics

direct contact makes sense for people

In our culture: less often,

contact is allowed only for partners or families

Demonstrations:

contact, caress, hug, kiss, hand shaking, beating

We communicate by contact

trust, acceptation, sympathy, encouragement, affection, love and aggressiveness, anger, rejection


External system of communication

Biophysical and psychological factors: image, gender, age, race, psychosomatic and physical state (Image= appearance, cloth, position in group, stereotypes)

Socio- educative signs: education, social status, employment

Cultural models: religion, ethics, morality, esthetics

Environmental factors


communication rules VC

Communicate about concrete statements (no general ones)

Explain meaning of key words exactly

Speak in first person (I, me…)

Think whether is listener prepared on content of communication what you want to tell him (he has to be focused well)


communication rules NVC

Strategic Compromise You: "We should go out to eat tonight."

Opponent: "But we ate out last night, and we need to save our money."

You: "I don't care. We should go out to eat tonight, and then we'll treat ourselves and all of our neighbors to a Broadway play."

Opponent: "But that would cost a fortune!"

You: "Yeah, I suppose you're right. Gosh, that would run hundreds of dollars, wouldn't it?"

Opponent: "Yes, it would."

You: "Ok, just dinner it is, then."


Forgetfulness You: "Virginia has never produced any good presidents."

Opponent: "Yes it has. Actually, most of our better presidents came from Virginia."

You: "But that's exactly what I'm saying...I think...I dunno...I forgot."

Opponent: "So we agree?"

You: "Yup. I'm right."


Lies You: "Dogs are better than cats."

Opponent: "I prefer cats."

You: "But cats eat babies! They dig their rabid muzzles into infants' chests and rip their kidneys out!"

Opponent: "No they don't!"

You: "They do! And they killed my great grandmother! Twice!"


Rhymes You: "There are no people on this planet that do not believe in democracy."

Opponent: "Yes there are. They're called communists."

You: "Communists schmommunists!"

Opponent: "..."


Random comments You: "School lunches suck."

Opponent: "Despite the taste, school lunches are, in actuality, very nutritional."

You: "On the contrary! Mahogany is one of Honduras' primary lumber exports."

Opponent: "Mahogany? Honduras? This has nothing to do with school lunches!"

You: "Yeah, well, I could beat you at arm wrestling!"

Opponent: "What does-- But-- You--"


Clearly Opponent: "I don't see how you can say clothing is immoral."

You: "Clothing was invented as a means of concealing immorality. Anyone wearing clothing is clearly doing so for the same reason."

Opponent: "No, people wear clothing for a number of reasons. To stay warm, for example."

You: "Clearly, these reasons are rationalizations made up after the fact."


Name calling You: "I believe all short people should be beaten with rocks until they bleed."

Opponent: "I think that's a very horrible and malicious idea."

You: "Well, you're fat! Fatty fat doo doo head!"

Opponent: (sobs)
