Gender Perception in Nonverbal Communication<\/p>\n

Gender Perception in Nonverbal Communication
In this assignment, you will explore the role of nonverbal communication in interactions between genders.
Using the Argosy University online library resources and the Internet, research the differences in nonverbal communication between genders.
Once you have an understanding, observe a small group of people, which can be comprised of friends, family, or a group of strangers. The small group should have three
to six people and be composed of both male and female members. Observe the group for 15\u201330 minutes, looking for the types of interactions taking place and how each
person uses nonverbal communication to make oneself understood. Pay special attention to nonverbal signals and gestures (body language, facial expressions, eye
contact, hand gestures, space, tone, appearance, etc.).
** Understand when doing your observations that you must protect the privacy of the people you observe. Anything you discover as part of your observation that does not
relate directly to the objective of the assignment needs to be kept confidential. There are three different roles that you, as the observer, may have as defined below
(Patton, 1986). In your paper, please discuss the type of observation you did and what you learned from that aspect.
\u2022 Full participant observation: You took part in the conversation and were part of the \u201cobservation.\u201d
\u2022 Partial observation: You were sometimes part of the conversation, but mostly stayed on the outer edge of it.
\u2022 Onlooker: You were an outsider and simply observed another group\u2019s interactions. (this is recommended for the assignment)
Note the number of people in the group and briefly describe the interactions that you observed (who is doing most of the talking, number of people involved, the way
members are seated, clothes, and the topic of conversation, if you know it, etc.). Create a matrix to present your observations (an example of a completed matrix is
shown below\u2014you will create your own to fit your specific observations).
Gender Body language Facial Expressions Eye Contact Hand Gestures Space Tone Appearance
1 F Leaning towards the male Smiling \u2013 seemed flirtatious Trying to catch the eye of the male NA Leaning into the table toward the man
High pitched Lots of make-up, hair fixed, a dress with heels
2 F Playing with hair Biting lip Rolling eyes at other female Playing with hair Slouched and pushed away NA \u2013 not talking
Some make-up, hair in high pony, jeans and t-shirt
3 M Legs turned toward F2 Gaze at F2 Trying to catch the eyes of F2 NA Sitting at opposite side of table, so more space Inquisitive
Jeans, polo shirt, flip flops, relaxed
Based on your observations on how nonverbal cues are regulating the flow of conversation, write an analysis including answers to the following questions. Be sure to
use terms and concepts from the textbook, research, and module readings.
\u2022 What do you think is the topic of conversation? Describe the topic of conversation.
\u2022 Assess how each member\u2019s body posture and movements convey his or her status and attitude.
\u2022 Deduce which nonverbal signals are responsible for showing emotion and feeling. Examine how these nonverbal signals help to explain what is going on.
\u2022 Differentiate between the gestures used by males vs. females\u2014conclude if there is a noticeable difference.
\u2022 Compare what the research says in relation to what you observed.
\u2022 Identify any inconsistencies in the person\u2019s nonverbal communication with what he or she was talking about (ex: shaking head \u201cyes\u201d and saying \u201cno\u201d).
\u2022 Examine what type of observation you did in reference to this assignment (types are listed above).
\u2022 What did you find most challenging about interpreting nonverbal behaviors in this setting?
\u2022 How does this assignment help you to better understand nonverbal communication and gender?
By Week 3, Day 7, submit your matrix and your analysis in Word format in a single file to the M3: Assignment 2 Dropbox. Include your matrix as the final page following
your reference list. Write a 4\u20135-page paper (not counting title and references pages or the matrix) in Word format. Apply APA standards for writing, formatting, and
citation to you work.
