Non Verbal Communication in Business Life

Everybody communicates on two levels, namely verbally and non-verbally. Verbal communication, or the spoken words we use, represent a very small portion (less than 10%) of our overall message. People can lie, misrepresent or mislead you with their words. Non-verbal language represents over 50% of our total message. Mastering the language of non verbal communication becomes more and more an art and has an impact on our outcomes. The non-verbal message will always be more a more accurate representation of the person's feelings, attitudes or beliefs.

The role of non-verbal communication in second language learner and native speaker discourse

It is undeniable that non-verbal signals exert a profound impact on communication. Many researchers proved that people, when they are hesitating, analyze non-verbal signals to comprehend the meaning of a message (Allen, 1999), because they prioritize non-verbal aspects of communication over the verbal ones. The role of non-verbal communication is much more profound when native/non-native discourse is taken into consideration (Allen, 1999; Gregersen, 2007). The aim of the present paper is to analyze non-verbal communication of a native speaker and a second language learner. The main emphasis is put especially on the differences between the non-verbal signals of second language learners and native speakers. Some of these differences may disturb or prevent the interlocutors from conveying a message in learner/native speaker discourse (Marsh et al., 2003) so it is necessary to raise awareness of cultural differences and underline the tremendous role of non-verbal communication in second language learning. Furthermore, the present paper also covers some suggestions for foreign language teachers in order to improve their knowledge of the body language of their learners in the target language and help them to raise awareness of the significance of non-verbal communication in second language discourse

NON-VERBAL COMMUNICATION IN HOTELS AS A STRATEGIC-MANAGEMENT ELEMENT

Understanding non-verbal communication is essential in every business or in every community, as every relationship between people is influenced by verbal and non-verbal communication. In a hotel, therefore, understanding the impact of non-verbal communication is essential because it affects both the relationships between the various employees of the hotel company and the interrelationships created between each employee and all the hotel's customers. Non-verbal communication, therefore, becomes a strategic management element that must be understood and known by every employee, whether manager or porter. In this article, in a very concise manner, we will analyse non-verbal communication and its relevance within a hotel structure.

Non-verbal communication in meetings of psychiatrists and patients with schizophrenia

Objective Recent evidence found that patients with schizophrenia display non‐verbal behaviour designed to avoid social engagement during the opening moments of their meetings with psychiatrists. This study aimed to replicate, and build on, this finding, assessing the non‐verbal behaviour of patients and psychiatrists during meetings, exploring changes over time and its association with patients' symptoms and the quality of the therapeutic relationship. Method 40‐videotaped routine out‐patient consultations, involving patients with schizophrenia, were analysed. Non‐verbal behaviour of patients and psychiatrists was assessed during three fixed, 2‐min intervals using a modified Ethological Coding System for Interviews. Symptoms, satisfaction with communication and the quality of the therapeutic relationship were also measured. Results Over time, patients' non‐verbal behaviour remained stable, whilst psychiatrists' flight behaviour decreased. Patients formed two groups based on their non‐verbal profiles, one group (n = 25) displaying pro‐social behaviour, inviting interaction and a second (n = 15) displaying flight behaviour, avoiding interaction. Psychiatrists interacting with pro‐social patients displayed more pro‐social behaviours (P < 0.001). Patients' pro‐social profile was associated reduced symptom severity (P < 0.05), greater satisfaction with communication (P < 0.001) and positive therapeutic relationships (P < 0.05). Conclusion Patients' non‐verbal behaviour during routine psychiatric consultations remains unchanged, and is linked to both their psychiatrist's non‐verbal behaviour and the quality of the therapeutic relationship

Gaining Compliance through Non-Verbal Communication

This article will examine the often de-emphasized and overlooked nonverbal aspects of communication. Understanding the impact of non-verbal messages sharpens one\u27s ability to view seemingly superficial mannerisms and movements as potential cues. Further, this article is designed to prompt individual assessment and increase awareness of one\u27s personal non-verbal mannerisms. This article is intended to encourage members of the ADR and legal communities to thoughtfully observe those around them and implement purposeful movements into their interactions, ultimately becoming more powerful and effective communicators and professionals. This article will consider two methods of gaining compliance through non-verbal signals. The first category examines persuading through liking, by establishing attraction and similarity. Its basic premise is that highlighting shared features, establishing favorable interpersonal relationships, building trust, and fostering credibility through non-verbal behaviors increases a messenger\u27s ability to persuade. The second category considers the use of non-verbal signals to convey power, dominance, and status to increase compliance rates. Reward, threat, punishment, and social and organizational hierarchies are also discussed as means of establishing power, dominance, and status. The goal of this article is to persuade readers that behaviors which communicate attraction and power are the same behaviors that improve one\u27s ability to influence others
