Communication journal entry 2 nonverbal When we are attempting to transfer our meaning to another person, we use three different modes, methods, or channels to carry our intentions. We use these modes to tell people who we are, how we experience the world, and the meaning we attach to our experience. We communicate verbally and nonverbally, and often with mixed signals or noise. When two persons, A and B, are attempting to communicate with each other, their communication is distorted by their personalities, attitudes, values, belief systems, biases, the assumptions they are making about …show more content…
Found information states "that Aesthetics refer to environmental factors and how they are manipulated to influence our feelings and emotions". When referring to environmental factors it was including colors, lighting, spatial arrangement, and sounds. Found information also states that we "manipulate environmental factors to affect mood by controlling the setting". For example, you may change the lighting in the room to a dim to give a romantic mood for someone. an understanding of a technical concept, this study sought to determine whether a verbal instructional medium complementing a nonverbal instructional medium would result in the development of a higher level of abstract understanding of a reselected technical concept than the use of either medium alone or the verbal instructional medium supplementing the nonverbal medium. The procedure of the study involved (1) selecting a technical concept, (2) developing a subordinate hierarchy, (3) writing test materials to measure abstract learning, (4) determining the test's reliability, (5) identifying the sample, (6) collecting the data, and (7) analyzing the data. Results of the study indicated that the guidelines used to plan the verbal medium complementing the nonverbal lesson resulted in students acquiring the largest amount of abstract understanding of a technical principle. The results also indicated that intellectual maturation affected students' abilities to …show more content…

She didn't want to express a point of view about abortion, simply discuss medical techniques. However, she used the words, "Another method used to kill the baby is.” Notice the emotional impact of that phrase. Changing the words to ones that have little connotational meaning changes the effect of the same meaning. For example, "terminate the fetus" has the same meaning; however, it has far less emotional impact than "kill the baby." By choosing words according to their denotative or connotative meanings, you can increase or decrease their impact on your
