- 1Evaluation of Argyle, Alkema and Gimour and Davitz and DavitzThese studies help us to understand how some people might have problems getting verbal information across to other people if their words seem to contradict the tone of voice that they are using. It may also suggest that they are not being entirely truthful.
- 2Evaluation of functions of eye contact (Kendon, Argyle, Hess)Asking people to get acquainted and then observing them is a very artificial situation and participants may have behaved in a different way to normal. However, studies of eye contact help us to understand what we can do to make conversations run more smoothly.
- 3Evaluation of Argyle, Alkema and Gimour and Davitz and DavitzIt is also true that these studies were carried out in rather artificial conditions where participants were asked to concentrate to different aspects of the communication. In real life, people may not focus so much on these details and be more taken in by the actual words used.
- 4Evaluation of pupil dilation (Hess)Studies of pupil dilation help us to understand why the use of eye makeup is so popular. It has the effect of making the eyes look darker and larger, which seems to be an important unconscious signal for attraction.
- 5Evaluation Of SakeimStudies that involve still pictures are artificial. We don't usually stare at still pictures to judge peoples emotions. Facial expressions in the real world change constantly when people are together. Also, we don't look at facial expression in isolation when we are with other people. other aspects of their non-verbal behaviour can give more accurate cues to what they may be thinking, such as their posture or even style of dress.
- 6Evaluation of posture (McGinley and McGinley, Lefevre and McGinley)The individuals who were approached did not realise that they were being used as participants in research. This is deception and could be regarded as unethical. Apart from open and closed posture there could be there could be other factors causing the difference in results. For example, because of the experimental design used, personality differences between the people approached may have made the confederate more appealing to some than others.
- 7Evaluation of Lynn And MynierThere might have been other reasons for difference in tips given. For example, the size of the bill usually affects the size of the tip. Also, whether the customer was served by someone of the same or the opposite sex might have been another factor. However, the study does show how knowledge of the effect of gestures can be used to peoples advantage.
- 8Evaluation Of Fisher, Rytting and HeslinIn the library study, the participants were all female. Therefore, we do not know if males would have been affected in the same way. The study could be seen as unethical as the females did not know that they were being used as participants in the experiment.
- 9Evaluation Of personal space (Willis, Williams, Summer, Zahn)Although these factors are useful in giving a general view of how personal space is used they can be seen as misleading. This is because these factors do not operate in isolation from other aspects of non verbal communication. For example the other persons facial expression could affect the use of personal space. Apart from that, when we are with people, we probably use a number of different distances depending on what is available. other factors, such as how much we like the other person or whether we have an outgoing or reserved personality, also comes into play.
- 10Practical Implications Of Facial Expression (Sackeim)If facial expression is inherited, this means that it happens instinctively and it is more likely to be truthful. Therefore, if someone is saying happy things with a sad facial expression, the chances are that person is feeling sad. It is easy to lie with words, but less easy with facial expression. Sackeim's study also helps us to understand why we prefer certain picture profiles of ourselves rather than others. We prefer to show our warm side.
- 11Practical Implications of posture (McGinley and McGinley, Lefevre and McGinley)These studies highlight how people in the real world may be using this information to their advantage. For example, counsellors might deliberately use postural echo to develop closer relationships with their clients. The implication for their clients is that they might divulge more about themselves to a counsellor who uses postural echo.
Also, salespeople might use open postures when talking to customers because it might help them to make a sale. An implication for the customer who does not know about these studies is that they might not realise how they are being manipulated. - 12Practical Implications Of Lynn And MynierOne famous restaurant chain trains its waiters and waitresses to squat down when taking orders at tables. Unsuspecting customers probably see this as a friendly gesture, but studies such as the one conducted by Lynn and Mynier suggest that there could be other motives.
- 13Practical Implications of Fisher, Rytting and HeslinStudies of touch show how attitudes in the real world might be manipulated by people who want to win favour.
- 14Practical implication of Argyle and DeanIt could be that when a male is in conversation with a female, he might not be aware that he is standing too close for her comfort.
- 15Practical Implications of Willis and WilliamsPeople might think that, if a person older or younger than themselves stands further away, they are being unfriendly. However, the research shows that this is normal human behaviour. Also if we attempt to stand closer to a person older or younger than ourselves, it might cause them to feel uncomfortable.
- 16Practical Implication Of SummerThis study helps us to understand why people in Arab countries regard Europeans and Americans as unfriendly and untrustworthy. It is because they tend to stand back during conversations. It also helps to explain why Mediterranean men are seen as romantic by British girls: they tend to stand closer than most British males.
- 17Practical implication Of ZahnThis study might imply that it feels more threatening to approach someone of higher status and we show our anxiety by keeping our distance. It also implies that we feel more comfortable approaching people of equal status.
