This paper focuses on observing and researching nonverbal communication in daily life. It discusses how nonverbal behaviors can influence first impressions and social dynamics. The paper analyzes themes from literature on this topic, including how nonverbal cues are peripherally received and can affect how messages are interpreted and people are perceived. The methodology discusses using personal experiences to analyze how nonverbal behaviors from families, groups and societies influence social perspectives. Specific examples are provided to illustrate misunderstandings caused by aggressive behaviors and facial expressions, and how interests and appreciation can develop from observing architecture and animals. Cultural differences in nonverbal expression are also explored through an analysis of Japanese culture.

Abstract
This paper focus on the observation and research on a daily communication. The review of
literature in this paper leads to the research questions: What is the general expressions and
personal impressions of nonverbal behaviours in our daily lives? The methods chosen to
answer the research question would be based on the concepts learnt in the class and the
personal observations and experiences. Numerous theories have been projected to elucidate
the silent language of nonverbal behaviours and negative or positive impulses in acceptances.
Although the literature covers a wide diversity of such theories, this review will emphasizes
on five major themes which arise frequently throughout the literature reviewed. These themes
are: first impressions of nonverbal behaviours, the peripheral reception of silent languages,
the significance of silent languages’ acknowledgement, the reliability of silent languages’
interpretations, and the keenness of silent languages’ deduction. Although the literature
addresses these themes in a variety of frameworks, this paper will primarily concentrates on
their application to nonverbal behaviours.

3. 3Silent Language of Nonverbal Behaviours
Limitless silent languages are being construed in our daily lives and these in turn
generated dynamic respective changes to our primary perspectives and behaviours. Countless
literature contexts has ascertained the silent languages of nonverbal behaviours lead to
significant changes in our daily communication and social values, yet the frameworks of the
student’s daily interpretation on silent languages of nonverbal behaviours must be
scrutinized.
Literature Review
Behavioural Evidence
According to Saul Kassin, Steven Fein and Hazel Rose Markus (2011), complex behavioural
recognitions persisted in every people from variety of cultures (qtd. in Barett et al., 2005),
and these recognitions “enable us to recognize themselves and others specific individuals,
such as friends, strictly on the basis of their movements.” (qtd. in Loula et al., 2005) Saul
Kassin, Steven Fein and Hazel Rose Markus (2011) emphasize that experiments indicated
“people who identify someone’s actions in high-level terms rather than low-level terms are
also more likely to attribute humanizing thoughts, feelings, intentions, consciousness, and
other states of mind to that actor (qtd. in Kozak et al., 2006). People initiates the mentality of
mind in specific objects that “superficially resembles humans in their speed of movement.”
(Kassin, Fein and Markus, 2011)
Nonverbal Behaviour (Silent Language)
Behavioural cues has explicitly characterized one’s physical expression, and implicitly
resolved his or her inner states; correspondingly, they do not professed their behaviours,
thereby we often fixed to the silent language of nonverbal behaviour (Kassin, Fein and
Markus, 2011). According to Saul Kassin, Steven Fein and Hazel Rose Markus (2011),
Charles Darwin’s clarification (1872) in “In the Expression of the Emotions in Mans and

4. 4Silent Language of Nonverbal Behaviours
Animals” significantly anticipated that “the face expresses emotion in ways that are innate
and understood by people all over the world.” Conferring to Russell’s principle as mentioned
by Saul Kassin, Steven Fein and Hazel Rose Markus (2011), basic emotions is acknowledged
from facial and cultural perspectives, which supported by Hillary Elfenbein and Nalini
Ambady (2002). Acknowledgement of bonded-individuals’ feeling conceded us with the
privilege of “in-group advantages” (Kassin, Fein and Markus, 2011). Darwin proposed that
the capacity of emotional recognition encompassed survival values for every individuals
among a species. Communal values of human faces are manifested in online communication
as “emoticons” due to “the lacking of nonverbal cues that normally animate and clarify live
interactions” (Kassin, Fein and Markus, 2011). The prominent three components of nonverbal
behaviours are: (1) disgust comprising adaptive significance, (2) eye contact or gaze which
being called “windows of the soul”, (3) signalling touch which is prevailing and primitive
(Kassin, Fein and Markus, 2011). As concluded by Saul Kassin, Steven Fein and Hazel Rose
Markus (2011), diversity of cultures embraced dissimilar rules for their common nonverbal
communication, such as common greetings.
Utilizing these literature to form theoretical assumptions, the student accrued confusions
and conflicts, enthusiasm and encouragement, and values and appreciations in terms of her
observations and interpretations. These aroused complications and self-assurances are
transformed into written languages in this paper. With that stated, the method that follows
will attempt to answer the following research questions:
(1) What is the general expressions and personal impressions of nonverbal behaviours in
our daily lives?
(2) How is the general expressions and personal impressions of nonverbal behaviours
impacted our daily lives?

Methodology
In attempt to answer the research questions, a combination of experimental
assumptions and personal experiences would be used. The nature of this study would require
the application of nonverbal behaviours and personal attribution to dimensionally analyse the
social perspectives that raised by animals, close-groups and societies. This study would be
attempting to discover which group has the greatest negative and positive influences on the
student. This study would be focused on determining causality and analysis in terms of
student’s personal perception and attribution. Social perception is highly subjective and
expressed differently in each daily activities and observations in student’s consequences.
Bizarre Expression
The misunderstanding of certain family consequences aroused from two nonverbal
behaviours: (1) the intensity of committing behaviours of violence and beyond manners
among family members during commotion or conflict, in turn demonstrated the sense of
family tragedy and violence towards the “victims” of family, and (2) the intention to raise
inconvenience and difficulty for others through facial communication among family members
during argument, in turn exhibited the unhealthiness and antipathy of the family relationships
which induced bitterness among “listeners” in the family.
Interest on Architecture
The ancient scholars, in terms of historical context, love to imaginary about the civilization,
invention, philosophy, grandeur, magnificence and values of the architecture in the “cradle”
of cities. The infinitesimal and transformative processing of art and masterpieces of
architecture originated from the great civilizations has indeed impressed artistic and religious
student to embrace architectural fields.
Leap-And-Bound Cats

The leaping movement of the cat resembled their enigmatic biological evidence of afterlife
myth, as seem in traditions and customs for most old folks. Student apprehended the inner
power and mystery of the living creatures, the cats which emphasizes their evolution’s
majesty through “the window of cat’s eyes”.
Japanese Expression
The Japanese manner pertaining in their houses and among inhabitants are certainly dignified
and revered by means of their austere facial expression and unaffected body language
expression signifying their liberality and tribute of their ethnic fames. Student concludes the
importance of manner characterized in most of the Japanese family because of their
steadfastness and faithfulness which she acknowledged during her communication and
observations. People of Asia enjoyed the respective and friendliness of the Japanese people
although their expression revealed most of their reverence and perseverance. Along with
Japanese ethical and manner principles, we survived and united through trials, conflicts, wars
and discriminations of each ethnicity between Japan and Asian people. Despite the distinction
between Japanese and other Asian cultures signifies each of their national dignity and honour,
especially in eye contact and body language’s communication, we unwaveringly instilled the
uniformity and harmonization through our politics and country defences.
