Upward of 60% of meaning in any social situation is communicated nonverbally (Burgoon & Bacue, 2003)

A Closer look at these percentages: The importance of the verbal to the nonverbal was
determined by the use of only 37 subjects, who were female University of California undergraduates participating in the study as partial fulfillment of introductory psychology course requirements.
“The specific percentages are not important; rather, what is important is that you recognize how essential nonverbal cues are to us as we interpret what we think people mean" (Brilhart and Galanes (1989) p. 138).

Cultural Variations In Japan, people gaze at Adam’s apple and avoid direct eye contact
(Samovar, Porter, McDaniel (2009) - page 70) Native American, Latin American, Caribbean, and African cultures
see direct gazes as disrespectful (page 68) Arabs look intently into the person’s eyes OK sign is a vulgar gesture in Germany and Brazil, means “your
worth zero” in France and Belgium, sexual invitation is Greece and Turkey, “I’ll kill you” in Tunisia (page 69)
South and Central America and Southern Europe encourage contact in touching (Neuliep, 2006 – page 71)
Asian cultures are low-contact (page 71) People from the Middle East stand much closer
(Hall, 1969), (Warnecke, Masters, Kempter, 1992)

Cultural Variations cont. Arabs speak with great deal of volume to convey strength and sincerity
(Samovar, Porter, McDaniel, 2009 – page 72) Britain and Asian cultures prefer soft voices (Samovar, Porter, McDaniel,
2009 – page 72) Western Cultures / Individualistic (US) require more space than
collectivist cultures (Asia) (Samovar, Porter, McDaniel, 2009 – page 75) Western Cultures are more time conscious (Hall, 1959 – page 75) Mexican culture doesn’t specify an exact time (page 75)

testosterone (Cashdan, 1995)

Kinesics (page 69)
Career Counselors use “posture echoes” (Maurer & Tindall, 1983)
Rapists use postural clues to select victims Detecting status based on posture Manipulators

Face and Eyes (page 70)
Talkers hold eye contact about 40% of the
time
Listeners hold eye contact about 70% of the
time
(Knapp & Hall, 2006 and page 69)

Face and Eyes (page 70)
Smiling cocktail waitresses earn larger tips
Pupils grow larger in proportion to degree of interest
- Arab merchant noticed pupil of customer (Hess & Plott,

Emotional Contagion (Hinsz & Tomhave, 1991)
Facial expressions are hard to read because of speed
which they change and the many different emotions
displayed

Paralanguage (page 71)
Pitch, Volume, Rate, Quality, Intonation, Vocalized pauses
Listeners pay more attention to vocal messages than words being spoken
Communicators are most likely to comply with requests delivered by speakers whose rate is similar to their own (Buller & Kane, 1992)
Those who speak loudly & without hesitation are viewed as more confident

Physical Appearance (page 76)
Posture, gestures, facial expressions and other behaviors increase attractiveness
Women who are perceived as attractive have more dates, higher grades in college, persuade males with greater ease, receive lighter court sentences (Knapp & Hall, 1992)
