Explain why nonverbal behavior seems to carry more “value” in a message than verbal communication.
What will be an ideal response?
We send nonverbal messages that are clarifying both the meaning of our words and the nature of our relationship. Nonverbal cues carry approximately two-thirds of a message’s communicative value. When used independently of words, as long as an observer derives meaning from them, nonverbal messages still speak volumes. Based on interpretations of our nonverbal cues, others may decide if they like us, trust us, will or won’t listen to our ideas, or want to sustain a relationship. The ability to understand and respond to nonverbal messages helps unlock meaning’s door.
