MGT 357 Lecture Notes - Lecture 7: Nonverbal Communication, Paralanguage, Kinesics
Document Summary
Meaning of trust and how it is communicated vary across societies. When there is trust between parties, implicit understanding arises within communications. Create a clear and calculated basis for natural benefit. Subtle messages account for between 65-93% of interpreted communication. Minor variations in body language, speech rhythms, and punctuality often cause mistrust and misperception of the situation among cross- cultural parties. Proxemics - influence of proximity and space on communication, both personal space and office space or layout. High-contract cultures - prefer to stand close and to experience a close sensory involvement. Low-contact cultures - have a distance style of body language. Paralanguage - how something is said rather than the content. Object language/material culture - the way we communicate through material artifacts. Mono-chronic cultures - time experienced in a linear way. P l h i lt t l t thi h i i lt l d f l thi t.
