The BIG BANG Theory
Non-Verbal Communication
I was
asked to choose an episode from a television show and looked over the way in
which they were communicating without listening to the sound. The conversation
was taking place over diner and Amy and Sheldon were sitting eating while
having a conversation. I noticed that
Sheldon was doing all the talking while Amy was not doing much of an eye
contact and just continued eating. She did not seem engaged in the
conversation. After Sheldon got up and
went to the refrigerator I then noticed that all of a sudden, Amy became very
engaged in the conversation and she started to move her hands as she spoke, and
her facial expression seemed to portray as a concerned person. He seemed to be very expressive by moving his
hands a lot as well and his entire body and his facial expressions were very
noticeable. At the end of the video I
noticed that Amy hit the table and said something in a very frustrated manner
her facial expression showed that she was upset. I then noticed that Sheldon was in shock and
became quiet and his facial expression was of someone that felt nervous.
Verbal Communication
As I
listened to the conversation between both I could interpret that the Amy was
not engage in the conversation, so my assumption was correct. I believe that we could tell so much about
non-verbal communication without having to know the person or a show so I do
not think that my assumptions would have changed since non-verbal communication
can really be perceived.
Hello Miguel,
ReplyDeleteI learned that nonverbal is communication without using words. Also, you can communicate while using non verbal behavior with gestures and facial expressions to convey a message. That's what was happening in the t.v. show that you observed (O'Hair,2015).
Hello Miguel, what can you tell about your experience doing this exercise? Any insights?
ReplyDeleteMiguel,
ReplyDeleteI do not watch this show as well, but I do hear a lot about it. It is so hard to judge a show with nonverbal communication. You did a great job. Thank you for sharing!
Hi Miguel. Great post. I couldn't of said it better myself. I don't watch this show at all. But, I think that you did an amazing job describing the non verbal and verbal of it. You can get so much information out of nonverbal communication.
