Appearance

Appearance is a second important factor involved with nonverbal communication in today’s society; the purpose of clothing has changed from fulfilling a need to expressing one self. Teens use fashion to determine cliques such as prep, jock, punk, or gangster. Clothing communication is continued later in life by identifying someone in a suit as a businessperson, someone wearing a black robe as a judge, doctors wearing lab coats and stethoscopes or various other positions wearing required uniforms of dress. Adornments are another form of appearance. Wearing expensive jewelry communicates one message while wearing ceremonial ornaments communicates a completely different message. Appearance also takes into account personal grooming such as cleanliness, doing one’s hair, nail trimming or wearing make-up. Overall appearance is the nonverbal that people are most aware of and manipulate the most. Appearance communicates how we feel and how we want to be viewed.



Eye Contact

Many sayings hold that the eye is the window to the mind. This is very true to illustrating the power of eye contact in nonverbal communication. Eye contact can maintain, yield, deny and request communication between people. People who use eye contact are viewed as confident, credible and having nothing to hide. Some important do’s and do not’s of eye contact are:
·  If you have trouble staring someone in the eye, simply focus at something on their face
·  When speaking to a group look at everyone
·  Look at people who are key decision makers or hold power
·  Look at reactive listeners
·  Don‘t look at the floor, scripts or anything that causes you to tilt your head away from the receiver
·  Don‘t look at bad listeners that may distract you
