Intercultural Communication 2: Non-Verbal Communication

Differences in nonverbal behaviors, also called “cultural displays”, among different groups of people are facilitated by rules about

On our last blog, we discussed verbal communication. Now, we are moving to Non-Verbal Communication. Did you know that Non-Verbal Communication (NVC) comprises a majority of the way that we convey our thoughts?

The popular series Lie To Me is about NVC, in that a detective named Dr. Cal Lightman (based on Dr. Paul Ekman, a real scientist who studied emotions and facial expressions) solves crimes by observing the non-verbal cues of a suspect who could be lying. This show helps us look into the emotions and gestures that we sometimes consciously and unconsciously show to the world, as our form of communication.

What is Non-Verbal Communication?

Nonverbal behaviors include all actions that take place during communication which do not use words, such as facial expressions, eye gaze, posture, use of space, and even tone of voice.

5 Basic Expressions of Non-Verbal Communication

1) To express internal states — i.e. to signal emotions, attitudes, and physiological and other mental states

Ex. Tearing up to show sadness, furrowing one’s eyebrows to show frustration, or smiling widely to show joy

2) To construct identities as physical appearance, comportment, and even clothing oftentimes serve as basis for judging people

Ex. A woman with a designer Prada bag might be rich, or a man with a white coat on may be a doctor

3) To regulate interaction — for example, nodding to indicate agreement

Ex. To give a thumbs up to your friend to show your support

4) To repeat the message — i.e. using gestures to emphasize a point

Ex. To point upwards while giving a religious speech to speak about heaven

5) To substitute for words as when we refer to an object by pointing

Ex. To use one’s hands to indicate a direction

What does this man’s clothing say about him? Your answers and opinions are indicative that you have made a judgment based on non-verbal cues.

Does culture play a role in Non-Verbal Communication?

Yes! Definitely!

If you look at the above table, different countries have different impressions of certain gestures and signals. This shows us the nuances of non-verbal communication. Differences in nonverbal behaviors, also called “cultural displays”, among different groups of people are facilitated by rules about how to manage and modify emotional expressions according to the situation that people learn from childhood.

Intentionality

Nonverbal communication can be intentional as well as unintentional. It serves as a vehicle of expression or impression.

1. The expressive use refers to when we use substitutes of verbal symbols to deliver information.

2. As a vehicle of impression, nonverbal behaviors become perceptual, with meanings that they are outside of what is being conveyed directly but they are nonetheless indicative of the communicative actor’s motivations.

The Hidden Dimension of Communication

Non-Verbal Communication is referred to as the hidden dimension of communication because if we do not understand non-verbal cues, we can sometimes miss out on the message that someone is trying to tell us.

Ex. A husband and wife are arguing about their marriage.

Wife (crying, sobbing): I am sick and tired of our marriage!

Husband (laughing): Calm down. We can fix this.

It is clear in this situation that there is a mismatch between the husband and the wife. The wife may perceive that her husband is not taking their argument seriously, because he is laughing and telling her to relax, while she is sobbing. The husband, on the other hand, is not taking the wife’s non-verbal cues of crying as a sign of distress.

Why is it so hard to decode Non-Verbal Communication?

One challenge of non-verbal cues is that there may be a mismatch between 2 people. Like our example from the husband and wife, both parties are probably not understanding each other’s reaction. At the same time, non-verbal cues can change meanings.

Ex. A high school student crying because of passing the UPCAT vs. failing the UPCAT.

It is clear that while the non-verbal cue is the same (crying), the student has different reasons for crying. She is crying tears of joy in one situation, and tears of sadness in another.

How can we better understand Non-Verbal Communication?

There are many factors that can cause misunderstanding with non-verbal cues, such as culture, gender, age, and many other individual attributes. However, by assessing our audience carefully, we can convey ourselves better, and at the same time understand our audience better, too!

NON-VERBAL CODES

Nonverbal codes serve as markers of important nonverbal displays that may serve to highlight similarities and differences, thereby allowing us to adjust our actions in order to nurture a positive relationship and foster understanding during intercultural encounters.

Here are 9 Non-Verbal Codes that can help us decode the various nuances of non-verbal communication.

1. Appearance - Physical appearance is the most externally obvious code of nonverbal behavior. It may indicate age, gender, nationality, ethnicity, education, economic status, lifestyle, and attitude. Across cultures, appearance is the basis for judging beauty, and different cultural groups decorate their body with various adornments (e.g. tattoos). How we perceive the other’s physical appearance influences our actions towards them.

2. Proxemics - This refers to the use of interpersonal space and distance in communication. Cultures differ in their use of personal space, concept of territory, and the meanings assigned to proxemic behavior. The amount of personal space we maintain between ourselves and the people we interact with shows the depth of our relationship with them.

3. Chronemics - This refers to the study of meanings, usage, and communication of time. Different cultures have different concepts of time manifested in terms of punctuality and pace. There are two ways of looking at time: monochronic (M-time) and polychronic (P-time). The monochronic concept of time is linear, sequential, and segmented, such that time is understood to be scarce and must therefore be spent wisely on achieving tasks. The polychronic concept of time results in a leisurely pace.

4. Kinesics - Kinesic behavior, which includes posture, gestures, and facial expressions, differs from culture to culture. Gestures are hand movements used to signal speech and to convey verbal meanings. Gestures differ dramatically in meaning, extensiveness, and intensity.

5. Haptics - Also called tactile communication, haptics varies in amount, location, type, and public or private manifestation. Haptics or touch communicates specific emotions like anger, fear, disgust, love, gratitude, and sympathy (Matsumoto & Hwang, 2012). A touch can be accidental, professional, socially polite, friendly, loving, or sexual depending on context and relationship. In a workplace setting, the exchange of touches between colleagues is characterized by professionalism.

6. Oculesics - Oculesics is the study of messages sent by the eyes, including eye contact, blinks, eye movements, and pupil dilation (Samovar et al., 2012). Eye contact and gaze serve a number of functions like expression of thought, monitoring of feedback, indication of attention, and regulation of conversation. There are cultures that value direct eye contact while others practice nominal eye contact.

7. Vocalics or Paralanguage - Vocalics or paralanguage refers to the nonverbal elements of the voice, or the tone of the human voice (Samovar et al., 2013). Paralanguage has three categories: vocal qualities, vocal characterizers, and vocal segregates. Vocal qualities include volume, rate, pitch, tempo, resonance, pronunciation, and tone. Vocal characterizers include laughing, crying, moaning, whining, and yawning.

8. Olfactics- Olfactics is the study of interpersonal communication via smell. Olfactics are cultural in two ways: first, certain smells are connected to diet, bodily rituals, and geography; and second, the ability to smell and give valence to certain types of smell are also culturally conditioned. An interesting example is the use of perfumes, which varies among cultures.

9. Silence - Although silence acquires significance and meaning only within the communicative encounter its varying degrees of intensity in the interaction are as meaningful as language. For example, in developing relationships, silence communicates awkwardness and can make people feel uncomfortable. Across cultures, silence plays cognitive, discursive, social, and affective functions. As a social phenomenon, it regulates social distance, impression-formation, social control, and role and power negotiation.

archaeocoyote replied to your post: archaeocoyote replied to your post: ...

That’s the crux of the difference though, for me “around 3” is already implicit in “at 3.” Where I grew up to only way to get someone somewhere at exactly 3 would be to tell them to be there at 2:30 lmao. For lack of much word space I meant offense in the larger sense of disquiet or unhappiness - the point being that the monochronic attachment for politeness or peace of mind or whatever to clock-time vs polychronic people-time can cause this exact kind of mix-up.

These advicey articles are aimed at people who exist within cultural contexts in which being late is widely considered to be an error on the tardy person’s part, which is why they’re saying “I’m sorry” In the first place. And it seems clear that the authors of these articles KNOW it is considered an inconvenience/error, or it wouldn’t be in the list.

And they know that the target audience of the article is people who (probably) apologize too much and maybe don’t have a lot of confidence in themselves, but instead of encouraging that person to develop better situational judgment, they’re just handing out another blanket set of rules to follow, because ~surely~ the way to overcome a lack of confidence in yourself is to swap one set of rules for SOMEONE ELSE’S set of rules! One of those rules apparently being “don’t acknowledge mistakes, it makes you look weak.” (Unless it’s a “big enough” mistake, because then and only then will your apology seem sincere!! Naw, bullshit, you can be sincere and be seen as sincere for a minor error, and the article writers KNOW IT, because they often include “accidentally bumping into someone” as an acceptable time to say “I’m sorry” and quickly move on.)

In work settings it is extremely common for meeting space to be a hot commodity, and for people to have busy schedules, so putting “running late” into the same category as “tiny errors you should not acknowledge, because it makes you look weak,” doesn’t look like real good advice to me. (And if you’re fully half an hour late to meet a friend, depending on your relationship and the bigger context, that actually could be a pretty serious problem you should acknowledge, despite what some of the article writers believe.)

Here’s one of the most gross articles I’ve read on it but they all sound like they’re essentially plagiarizing the same original source, because this topic is trendy. Most of them demonstrate a LOT of really bad writing and terrible logic, especially on the “don’t say you’re sorry for being late” topic, though I’m skeptical about some of the other examples, too.

...not all situations call for your apology!

Take being late, for example. Instead of rushing in and saying “Sorry I’m late!” try using appreciation instead: “Thank you for waiting!” This little script flip changes a situation from being fault-based (yours) into gratitude based (i.e. warm fuzzies for your coworkers).

It IS the tardy person’s fault the thing is starting late, and no one is going to be fooled that it isn’t, except the people writing these damn articles! I’ve sat in enough meetings where people were annoyed by having to start late to know how this goes, and “thank you for waiting” isn’t going to help. We’re still running late! Just acknowledge the very real inconvenience quickly and move on, not everything needs to be a chance to “practice gratitude.”

Journal Entry #6:

WUWC 1.4 discusses the importance of recognizing values within a culture, specifically individualism versus collectivism. Your beliefs from your home culture could have legal or moral implications within the culture you’re visiting. For example, in the Accident Exercise, 96% of Americans would NOT testify in court for their friend driving under the speed limit, when in fact they did. This draws attention to the individualistic vs. collectivist within cultures. In America, we pride ourselves on being self-reliant, free thinking, and singular within our decision making process. Compared to Scotland, they are also very individualistic. This concept is evident in the American film industry, such as movies that have the “self-made man” as the character. The stories that revolve around them are often heroic, and they show the value of hard work within the American cultural context. They also emphasize self-reliance, as opposed to Venezuelan culture that was mentioned in WUWC. Their culture subscribes to more collectivist views, where you help your friends and family no matter the consequences or implications.

Another way in which culture differs is the attitude towards time, specifying between Monochronic and Polychronic. Monochronic refers to time as a given, and people are the variable. We must adhere to time, and meet the demands of deadlines and schedules. This concept rings true in American culture, and is apparent in American film as well, especially in young adult films. There is often conflict with teenagers and curfews with their parents, especially in relation to their restriction of when they have to be home. They also emphasize “morning routines” before school as timely events, and the concept of “rushing to the bus before it’s late”. As opposed to Scotland, who pride themselves in being polychronic. They don’t worry about schedules as much, and the see time as a variable that will change, according to people’s desires and needs. This was apparent in the film I watched, Local Hero, because when the main character was preparing to leave to another part of the country, he took his time and didn’t have as much concern with his schedule in relation to his trip.
