COMM 220 - Nonverbal Communication

(3,0) 3 Credits
Nonverbal Communication explores theories and types of nonverbal behavior in interpersonal, organizational, intercultural, and computer-mediated communication contexts. This course will cover several nonverbal channels such as voice (e.g., paralanguage, pace, tone, volume), touch, space and territory (proxemics), environment, gaze (eye behavior), gestures (movement), physical appearance, facial expressions, and emotions. This course will also explore how nonverbal communication is implicated in person perception, impression management, immediacy behaviors, power and dominance, and the role of context and culture. Nonverbal Communication will help students develop competency in understanding the nuances of nonverbal social cues in relation to individual and group differences and similarities.
