Grounded in the social-scientific approach, Nonverbal Behavior in Interpersonal Relations offers students a clear and accessible insight into the principles of nonverbal communication and their applications in real world scenarios.
Engaging features throughout the book prompt self-assessment and application, providing students with a grasp of nonverbal immediacy and a deep understanding of how influential nonverbal communication is to basic human communication. Students attain the fundamental knowledge of nonverbal communication and behaviors and the resulting outcomes, while simultaneously exploring the application of nonverbal communication in a variety of settings, including dating, school, work, internationally, and in the courtroom.
