For this project, use the concepts in Units 5 and 6 and your own observations to identify the roles of verbal and nonverbal communication in interpersonal interactions. Tune in to your favorite television program, or section of a movie (you should watch at least 20-30 minutes for enough interaction to analyze). Watch the show at first with the sound turned off so you can observe and analyze the nonverbal communication (you can record the show or watch it on a network website so that you can view it more than once). As you view the program, examine the nonverbal communication that you see taking place and take notes. For instance: Who is sitting close to other people? Who is motioning wildly as he/she speaks? Who is hitting or touching another person? What emotions do you see being displayed? Do you see anyone breaking a social norm? What about personal appearance? Atmosphere? Then watch the show a second time with the sound. Take notes on your thoughts as you watch the verbal and nonverbal interaction. Now, that you have all these observations and your notes, you are ready to answer the project questions: 1. What is the name of the show? Who are the main characters and what are their relationships to each other? 2. What are five nonverbal types that you observed in the program? Explain with details from the program. 3. Was it easy or difficult to understand what was happening in the action while only observing the nonverbal cues? Explain with examples. 4. What affect did the nonverbal communication have on the characters involved? 5. When you viewed the verbal and the nonverbal together, explain a situation where they contradicted each other. When this happened, which did you believe? Explain why with specific examples. 6. What parts do verbal and nonverbal communication play in effective interpersonal communication? 7. What did you learn from this project? Preparing your Project • For this project, you are answering the questions, not writing a traditional paper. You can copy the questions listed above into a Word document and then add your answers. • Your answers should be composed in complete sentences and paragraphs, and the entire project should be a total of 500 to 600 words, or about two pages. • Use one-inch margins on all sides of the document. • Use a 12-point font such as Times New Roman or Arial. • If you cite references (such as the text), you need to provide the source information. • Your project should demonstrate careful proofreading. Non verbal codes • Body Language • Hand Gestures • Touch • Physical Appearance • Objects • Environment • Personal Space • Time • Mutterings • Silence homework at http://www.homeworkforyou.com/project/2963 Your winning bid of $15 was accepted! Time to get to work! hulk1970 Yesterday hulk1970 has awarded you the Case study George, husband Teresa, wife L.B., 7, son J.J., 3, daughter Mom is babysitter for L.B. after school. Teresa’s sister is babysitter for J.J. at home with her own children during the day You are a therapist in private practice and George is in your office. George says his wife is crazy. Their 3 year old will not talk yet and has trouble with most activities of daily living. “The wife takes 3-year-old J.J. to the doctor, who says that she is autistic and needs some kind of special services. I don’t know what Teresa is doing with the kid, really. I take the 7-year-old boy, L.B., to school every day and pick him up to go to my mom’s after school. My mom is real good with kids and watches him until I pick him up at night. My wife is just nuts. She’ll be crying and all when I get home. I work hard and bring the entire check home for food and taking care of the house and all, but that woman is not okay about anything. What should I do? I can’t quit working. I work 40-50 hours a week and stop to get L.B. and we all go to be home together at night and she is a mess. The house is a mess and J.J. is just sitting there. Nothing seems normal any more. What should I do? I am a good man. Really. I’m older than her and I know how to be a good man. I come home, I work, and I don’t run around. I take care of my boy and my mom. What should I do about this? Really. I have never seen anything like it. I thought she’d be working again by now and the baby would be more grown up by now. Something just isn’t right here. Teresa’s sister keeps J.J. during the day, but she is kind of dumb, you know. She just takes the kids and lets them play or sit or whatever. My Teresa used to be fun. Now she is just not herself. I say “What’s wrong with J.J., Teresa?” And Teresa just cries. She wanted a girl baby and she was so happy. Now nothing seems good anymore. The rest of the family doesn’t know what to do either. What do you think? Huh? What do you think is wrong here? What can I do? Can you help us to get normal again?” Directions: 1.What types of informal assessments might you use to help George and his family? 2.Who else besides George would you want to see and what informal assessment would you use with these folks? 3.What makes the assessments you chose for each person the best choice compared to the other assessments you learned about? 4.What ethical considerations should you take into account working with George and his family
