COMM150 Chapter Notes - Chapter 4: Nonverbal Communication, Linguistics, Fallacy
Document Summary
Purpose: emotions are a key piece of our communication and we can learn how to manage our emotions in difficult situations. Central message 1: what are emotions? (changes that occur in the body based on multiple factors that change how we communicate and see the world) For example, if i recognized my body"s reaction to getting angry then i could stop my anger before it gets too sever and. I hurt someone or say something i didn"t mean to. Application 2: nonverbal reactions i like thinking about how not only do emotions cause nonverbal reactions but nonverbal reactions effect our emotions as well. I think i knew this concept deep down but hadn"t really thought of it before. This reminds me of when people say that when they dress nicely and take care of themselves that they feel better, can concentrate and are more focused on their work, rather than what they look like.
