Items related to Nonverbal Communication: Survey, Theory, and Research...
A book about how people convey information about themselves and receive information from other people through their behaviour, posture, gestures, facial expressions and tone of voice. Druckman reviews what has been learned about four nonverbal communication channels -- para-language, facial expressions, kinesics, and visual communications. In Part Two he uses a case study to illustrate findings on personal distance, and reports on new research. A final chapter presents a framework that distinguishes situations by their structures: a first step toward linking nonverbal behaviours with their contexts.
'...the theoretical framework that they do provide for the experiments reported in the second half of the book is one of the most cohesive to be found in reports of nonverbal communications research...An excellent introduction to nonverbal literature and experimentation for beginning graduate students.' -- Choice, November 1982
'...has much to offer scholars from the diverse disciplines represented in mass communications. The book is particularly useful to those interested in the visual media and in the interpersonal and cross-cultural communication phenomena...the communications scholar will be stimulated by a set of ideas ranging from the neurophysiological to the political. He will find very useful the authors' discussions of the methodologies of typical experiments.' -- Journalism Quarterly, Spring 1983
