Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Often defined as communication without words, non-verbal communication (NVC) refers to all aspects of a message which are not conveyed by the literal meaning of words. Both written and spoken communication can be nonverbal. The main types of NVC are chronemics, kinesics, paralinguistics, proxemics and semiotics. Culture, gender and social status influence non-verbal communication. NVC also includes object communication and haptics or touch. Paralinguistic mechanisms include intonation, stress, rate of speech, and pauses or hesitations; non-linguistic behaviours include gestures, facial expressions, and body language, among others. This book brings forth new and important research in this field.

The book is organized into three sections. The first addresses the basics of nonverbal communication, and provides an overview of the basic elements of nonverbal communication, including nonverbal communication in intercultural contexts. The second is devoted to specific nonverbal codes, such as physical appearance, bodily movement, facial expressions, and interpersonal distance. The third section discusses applications of nonverbal communication research, including the long-term effects of nonverbal attractiveness, and how speakers and listeners can make the best use of nonverbal communication in interview settings. Additional topics include the role of touch in social and personal relationships, and the literal "look of love." With readings drawn from diverse fields of study, Nonverbal Communication Research can be used in undergraduate or graduate-level courses focusing exclusively on nonverbal communication, as well as courses featuring nonverbal behavior in specific contexts, such as those in psychology, sociology, counseling, and business.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nonverbal Communication in Close Relationships provides a synthesis of research on nonverbal communication as it applies to interpersonal interaction, focusing on the close relationships of friends, family, and romantic partners. Authors Laura K. Guerrero and Kory Floyd support the premise that nonverbal communication is a product of biology, social learning, and relational context. They overview six prominent nonverbal theories and show how each is related to bio-evolutionary or sociocultural perspectives. Their work focuses on various functions of nonverbal communication, emphasizing those that are most relevant to the initiation, maintenance, and dissolution of close relationships. Throughout the book, Guerrero and Floyd highlight areas where research is either contradictory or inconclusive, hoping that in the years to come scholars will have a clearer understanding of these issues. The volume concludes with a discussion of practical implications that emerge from the scholarly literature on nonverbal communication in relationships – an essential component for understanding relationships in the real world. Nonverbal Communication in Close Relationships makes an important contribution to the development of our understanding not only of relationship processes but also of the specific workings of nonverbal communication. It will serve as a springboard for asking new questions and advancing new theories about nonverbal communication. It is intended for scholars and advanced students in personal relationship study, social psychology, interpersonal communication, nonverbal communication, family studies, and family communication. It will also be a helpful resource for researchers, clinicians, and couples searching for a better understanding of the complicated roles that nonverbal cues play in relationships.
