Chronemics
Kinesics

Vocalics or Paralanguage
Environment

8. 1. PROXEMICS
Proxemics refers to the study
of how space and distance
influence communication.
For example, when we are
content with and attracted to
someone, we say we are
“close” to him or her.

women.

This includes the “hidden dimension” or your
“personal bubble”
a) Social Distance- 4 to 12 feet
b) Public Distance-12-25 feet

10. 2.HAPTICS
 The study of touch as a means of
nonverbal communication.

comfort someone in moment of sorrow
when words alone cannot.
 Touch is necessary for human social
development, and it can be welcoming,
threatening, or persuasive.

11. 3. CHRONEMICS
 The study of how time affects communication and
includes how different time cycles affect our
communication, including the differences between
people who are past or future oriented and cultural
perspectives on time as fixed and measured
(monochronic) or fluid and adaptable (polychronic).

12. 4. KINESICS
The word kinesics comes from the root word
kinesis, which means “movement,” and refers
to the study of hand, arm, body, and face
movements.

 Objects and images are also tools that can be
used to communicate nonverbally.
 People often spend a great deal of time
developing a particular image and surrounding
themselves with objects designed to convey
information about the things that are important to
them.
For example, you might select an avatar to
represent your identity online and to communicate
information about who you are and the things you
like.

14. 6. VOCALICS (PARALANGUAGE)
 The study of paralanguage.
 Use of voice to communicate
includes elements such as
pitch, rate, pauses, volume,
tone of voice, silences,
laughs, screams, sighs.

15. 7. ENVIRONMENT
Refers to how the objects we adorn
ourselves and our surroundings with,
referred to as artifacts, provide nonverbal
cues that others make meaning from and
how our physical environment—for
example, the layout of a room and seating
positions and arrangements—influences
communication.
