Emblems are gestures with precise meaning known to a culture (A-OK)//
Illustrations create a visual image + support spoken message. tend to be subconscious Example: Holding your hands apart to indicate size.
body movements that control, adjust, and sustain the flow of a conversation – are frequently relied on to feedback how much of the message the listener has understood.
Example: Head nodding and eye movements.. cultural differences.
adaptors= include changes in posture and other movements made with little awareness..body-focussed movements, such as rubbing, touching, scratching, and so on.
Example: Shifting body and/or feet position when seated
regulator= Regulators – body movements that control, adjust, and sustain the flow of a conversation – are frequently relied on to feedback how much of the message the listener has understood.
Example: Head nodding and eye movements
Affective displays==tend to be movements, usually facial gestures, displaying specific emotions. less conscious than illustrators and occur less frequently. Affected by culture.

Six Nonverbal Points
Definition
1. People who study nonverbal behavior use the term immediacy to describe actions that communicate warmth, closeness, friendliness, and involvement with other people.
2. Females are better at encoding and decoding nonverbal messages. Therefore, in both interpersonal and public persuasion, the sources needs to be sensitive to the competence of female receivers.
Remember, research found that females in all cultures are better at encoding and decoding nonverbal messages.
3. Nonverbal leakage is an issue in all interpersonal communication.
Remember the concept of the Blind Window.
4. Artifacts can communicate a great deal about the credibility and the status of the individual.
Research has found that first impressions are not only powerful and enduring, they ae often based on seemingly trivial appearance cues such as clothing and grooming.
These cues are not trivial and in some contexts may be more important than verbal cues.
Perceived attraction has significant benefits that may include: Grades, pay, marital competence, lighter court sentences. Favors, judged to be happier
6. Nonverbal cues serve several important functions.
(1) We use nonverbal cues to create impressions of ourselves.
(2) We use nonverbal cues to create rapport and empathy with others.
(3) We use nonverbal cues to heighten and reinforce messages.
