Full textAbstract:
This study examined the perception of giving consent and nonconsent for intercourse among heterosexual college men and women. Participants read vignettes describing a heterosexual couple who are on a date and are engaged in intimate sexual behavior. The male makes it clear to the female that he wants to have sexual intercourse. The female either consents or does not consent to have intercourse. Participants were then asked to rate the likelihood of the female giving each of six verbal and six nonverbal behaviors to clearly communicate her intention. Participants reported higher ratings for verbal behavior to communicate nonconsent than to communicate consent. Participants also reported higher ratings for nonverbal behavior to communicate consent than to communicate nonconsent. In addition, gender differences were found for communicating both consent and nonconsent. Men reported higher ratings for verbal behavior to communicate consent. Women reported higher ratings for nonverbal behavior to communicate both consent and nonconsent.

Trepanier, Edna. "Impact of Communication Training on Nurses' Verbal and Nonverbal Skills and Patient Satisfaction." Thesis, University of Phoenix, 2017. http://pqdtopen.proquest.com/#viewpdf?dispub=10606592.
Full textAbstract:
Effective nurse communication correlates with favorable patient experiences and outcomes. Communication training programs are insufficient, although they do improve nurses’ communication skills. The purpose of this quantitative, pretest-posttest quasi-experimental study was to examine the impact of a communication training intervention on nurses’ perceptions of verbal and nonverbal skills, patient satisfaction with nurses’ communication, and the overall rating of the hospital. The Nurse Self-report Verbal and Nonverbal Communication Skills Survey (NSVNCSS) was the tool employed to collect data from 103 nurses to investigate the changes in nurses’ perception of their own verbal and nonverbal scores from pretest to posttest. The analysis of historical satisfaction surveys from 81 inpatients before and 71 after the communication training was necessary to investigate the changes in relevant scores theorized to accompany the increases in communication ratings. Statistical findings suggested that a communication-training program for nurses demonstrated increased level of nurses’ self-reported verbal and non-verbal skills, as well as for inpatients’ level of satisfaction with nurse courtesy and respect. Other findings revealed that the implementation of a nurse communication-training program showed increased inpatients’ perceived levels of satisfaction on nurses’ listening skills, explaining things clearly, and the overall rating scores for the hospital but were not statistically significant. There was not much room for growth since the average pre-intervention communication score was 3.74 or more out of 4 and an average of 9.2 out of 10 for the overall hospital rating. The results provide valuable evidence that the developed communication skills program is effective in improving nurses’ perception of their communication skills.

Chennault, June Justa. "Developing Positive Working Relationships in a Large Urban School District." Diss., NSUWorks, 2015. https://nsuworks.nova.edu/fse_etd/40.
Full textAbstract:
This applied dissertation provides an overview of the working relationships among key leaders within a large urban school district in the Southeastern part of the United States. This study examined the communication methods and responsibilities of each key player within the decision-making process for the district at various levels of leadership. Results called for the exploration of (a) effective communication, (b) verbal and nonverbal techniques, (c) electronic means of communication, (d) informal styles of communication, (e) interpersonal communication, (f) communication styles, (g) leadership styles, and (h) conflict management, which delineated the theoretical framework and research questions for this study. This study presents verbatim quotes that supported the data findings. Twenty-three stakeholders (school board members, school leaders, parents, business leaders, and community leaders) from the district were interviewed. The results revealed 10 themes related to the need for a transparent, honest, and collaborative working relationship. The findings revealed the need for an addendum to the Critical Communication theory, which analyzed the interworkings among individuals within organizations. The addendum supports the premise that positive working relationships are due to effective forms or modes of communication. Stakeholders preferred in-person communication to combat conflict within the organization among members within the district. Stakeholders also noted a need for leaders of the organization who are democratic, transformational, and nonbiased. Stakeholders continuously addressed the need for immediate and accessible forms of communication within the district to build positive working relationships.

Full textAbstract:
Icke verbal kommunikation förekommer i vårdmöten dagligen. Den kan vara omedveten och otydlig vilket kan göra patienten förvirrad och stressad. Informationen som patienten får av sjukvårdspersonal uttrycks både med verbal och icke verbal kommunikation. i mötet kan icke verbal kommunikation ge stöd och trygghet i omvårdnaden för patienten. Syftet med studien var all belysa sjukvårdspersonalens icke verbala kommunikation i relationen till patienten. Studien utfördes som en systematisk litteraturstudie där resultatet baserades på fjorton vetenskapliga artiklar. De var inhämtade från databaser relevanta för omvårdnadsforskning. Resultatet indikerade att icke verbal kommunikation är ett redskap i vårdmötet. Då kommunikationsprocessen även fortlöper utan ord kan icke verbal kommunikation uttryckas på många olika sätt, däribland tonläge, beröring, gestikulering och kroppsspråk. Det påvisar betydelsen av icke verbal kommunikation för relationen. Det verbala får en djupare förståelse med hjälp av det icke verbala och det kan stärka relationen mellan sjukvårdspersonal och patient. Forskning visar på att sjukvårdsyrkena behöver bredda sin utbildning av icke verbal kommunikation för att optimera vårdmötet. Även mer forskning behövs inom icke verbal kommunikation.Nonverbal communication occurs in healthcare daily. It may be unconscius and unclear, and it may make the patient confused and stressed. The information that the patient receive from the medical staff, can be expressed in both nonverbal and verbal communication. Under the meeting the patient can feel support and security through nonverbal communication. The purpose of this study was to elucidate professional's nonverbal communication in relation to the patient. It was conducted as a literature study where the results were based on fourteen scientific articles. They were retrieved from databases, relevant to nursing research. The results indicate that nonverbal communication is a tool in health care encounter. When the communication process continues even without words, nonverbal communication is expressed in many different ways. There, in among other, the tone, touch, gestures and body language. It demonstrates the importance of nonverbla communication in the relationship. The verbal get at deeper understanding through the nonverbal and it can streghten the relationship between the health professional and patient. Research shows that the medical profession needs to broaden its training of nonverbal communication to optimize the health care encounter. Although more research is needed on the subject.

Full textAbstract:
This study explores the meanings that participants in a British ELT setting give to teachers' non-verbal behaviours. It is a qualitative, descriptive study of the perceived functions that gestures and other non-verbal behaviours perform in the foreign language classroom, viewed mainly from the language learners' perspective. The thesis presents the stages of the research process, from the initial development of the research questions to the discussion of the research findings that summarise and discuss the participants' views. There are two distinct research phases presented in the thesis. The pilot study explores the perceptions of 18 experienced language learners of teachers' non-verbal behaviours. The data is collected in interviews based on videotaped extracts of classroom interaction, presented to the participants in two experimental conditions, with and without sound. The findings of this initial study justify the later change of method from the experimental design to a more exploratory framework. In the main study, 22 learners explain, in interviews based on stimulated recall, their perceptions on their teachers' verbal and non-verbal behaviours as occurring within the immediate classroom context. Finally, learners' views are complemented by 20 trainee teachers' written reports of classroom observation and their opinions expressed in focus group interviews. The data for the main study were thus collected through a combination of methods, ranging from classroom direct observations and videotaped recordings, to semi-structured interviews with language learners. The research findings indicate that participants generally believe that gestures and other non-verbal behaviours playa key role in the language learning and teaching process. Learners identify three types of functions that non-verbal behaviours play in the classroom interaction: (i) cognitive, i.e. non-verbal behaviours which work as enhancers of the learning processes, (ii) emotional, i.e. non-verbal behaviours that function as reliable communicative devices of teachers' emotions and attitudes and (iii) organisational, i.e. non-verbal behaviours which serve as tools of classroom management and control. The findings suggest that learners interpret teachers' non-verbal behaviours in a functional manner and use these messages and cues in their learning and social interaction with the teacher. The trainee teachers value in a similar manner the roles that non-verbal behaviours play in the language teaching and learning. However, they seem to prioritise the cognitive and managerial functions of teachers' non-verbal behaviours over the emotional ones and do not consider the latter as important as the learners did. This study is original in relation to previous studies of language classroom interaction in that it: • describes the kinds of teachers' behaviours which all teachers and learners are familiar with, but which have seldom been foregrounded in classroom-based research; • unlike previous studies of non-verbal behaviour, investigates the perceiver's view of the others' non-verbal behaviour rather than its production; • documents these processes of perception through an innovative methodology of data collection and analysis; • explores the teachers' non-verbal behaviours as perceived by the learners themselves, suggesting that their viewpoint can be one window on the reality of language classrooms; • provides explanations and functional interpretations for the many spontaneous and apparently unimportant actions that teachers use on a routine basis; • identifies a new area which needs consideration in any future research and pedagogy of language teaching and learning.

Den icke verbala kommunikationen är den största formen av all kommunikation och är lika trovärdig som den verbala kommunikationen. Icke verbal kommunikation definieras genom vårt kroppsspråk, blickar och/eller ögonkontakt, beröring, tonlägen gester, ansiktsuttryck och skratt och detta sker ständigt. Syftet med litteraturstudien var att belysa icke verbal kommunikation ur ett sjuksköterskeperspektiv. Databearbetningen medförde fyra kategorier: sjuksköterskans icke verbala kommunikation skapar välbefinnande, kunskap genom icke verbal kommunikation, icke verbal kommunikation hjälper sjuksköterskan att skapa relationer samt icke verbal kommunikation mellan sjuksköterskor. Resultatet visade på att det är nödvändigt för sjuksköterskan att ha kunskap om den icke verbala kommunikationen och dess olika sätt att framträdas hos enskilda patienters specifika behov. Tidsbrist är dock något som har visat sig vara ett hinder för sjuksköterskan för hens utveckling av sin icke verbala kommunikation och sin professionella relation till patienten. Vidare forskning om sjuksköterskans icke verbala kommunikation och hens relation till tid kan gynna sjuksköterskans framtida professionsutveckling.The nonverbal communication is the most common form of all communication and is as reliable as the verbal communication. Non-verbal communication is defined by our body language, glance and / or eye contact, touch, tone gestures, facial expression and laughter, and occur constantly. The purpose of the study was to examine non-verbal communication from a nurse perspective. The Data processing included four categories: Nursing's non-verbal communication creates well-being, knowledge through non-verbal communication, non-verbal communication helps the nurse to establish relationships as well as non-verbal communication between nurses. The result showed that it is necessary for the nurse to have knowledge of non-verbal communication and it is different ways of appearing individually with each patient and differ with their specific needs. However, lack of time is something that has come back as an obstacle to the nurse for the development of non-verbal communication and the professional relationship with the patient. Further research on the nurse's non-verbal communication and relationship with time can benefit the future of nurse`s professionals skills.

The paper serves as an introduction to the study of nonverbal communication in African languages. The concept of nonverbal communication is as equally important in a communication system as verbal communication . Therefore, this paper focuses onsome of the various forms of nonverbal communication such as facial expressions, proxemics, haptics, personal appearance, and most importantly, the concept of time. This study is done mainly in comparison with the Western way of doing things and how the social changes affect the use of these cues

Full textAbstract:
Writers from a number of theoretical backgrounds have asserted that agreement in the emotional messages conveyed by various verbal and nonverbal communication channels is related to the communicator's psychological health. If this conjecture is accurate, then congruence among communication channels could be used as a behaviorally based assessment tool. However, empirical research to test this theoretical and clinical assumption is relatively lacking. The present study was designed to test the hypothesis that individuals who display congruence (agreement) between verbal (language), verbal/vocal (language plus paralinguistic cues, or speech) and nonverbal (facial) channels of communication will show a greater degree of mental health than will individuals who display incongruence. "Degree of mental health" was operationally defined as an individual's scores on the Personal Orientation Inventory (POI). Fifty-six subjects were administrated the POI and were interviewed on videotape. Three pairs of judges rated the videotapes for the affects communicated in the video channel (picture only), the audio channel (sound only), and the transcript channel (the subject's words transcribed onto paper). Comparisons of affect ratings across channels yielded difference scores, resulting in measures of various types of congruence. Analyses of variance were carried out with difference scores as independent variables and and overall POI score as the dependent variable. No significant results were obtained. Multivariate analyses of the POI subscales were also performed, again with nonsignificant findings. Alternative explanations of the congruence phenomenon and methodological limitations are presented. Implications for the clinical utility of congruence and for future research are discussed.

Syftet med studien är att undersöka körledares uppfattningar om och arbete med icke-verbal kommunikation med kör. I bakgrundskapitlet belyses tidigare forskning och områdesorienterad litteratur som handlar om icke-verbal kommunikation. Datamaterialet består av tre ostrukturerade kvalitativa intervjuer där tre körledare fått reflektera över begreppet icke-verbal kommunikation, hur de uppfattar begreppet och hur de arbetar med icke-verbal kommunikation i körsammanhang. Det teoretiska perspektiv som ligger till grund för studien är det tolkande hermeneutiska perspektivet. I resultatet framkommer att körledare använder sig av olika icke-verbala kommunikationsformer såsom pianot, olika kroppsliga uttryck och rösten. Dessa icke-verbala kommunikationsformer används för att förmedla affekter och undertexter samt för att tolka notbilder. Det framkommer även i resultatet att de tre körledarna har olika syn på dirigering. Vad som är viktigast skiftar från att dirigering är ett otyg till att dirigeringen och tekniken är det viktigaste verktyg en körledare har. Avslutningsvis diskuteras resultatet i förhållande till tidigare forskning och litteratur.The purpose of this study is to investigate the conductors' perceptions of and work with non-verbal communication with choir performance. The background chapter describes previous research and literature on nonverbal communication. The results of the study came through three unstructured interviews, where three choir conductors reflected over the term non-verbal communication and how they apprehend the concept. The theoretical perspective underlying this study is the interpretative hermeneutic perspective. The results show that conductors use different non-verbal communication methods in their work with choir. The non-verbal communications that the choir leaders, among other things use are the piano, the voice, but they also how reflect over hos sheet music can be interpreted. It is also apparent that the three conductors have different views on conducting. The conductor’s thoughts rang from that conducting is a bad thing and should be used sparingly. Whilst other say that conducting is the most important tool and should not be neglected. In the conclusion, the results are discussed in relation to previous research and literature.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract of the research: What does Dancing Have to Do with Blogging? A Study of Verbal and Non-verbal Communication among Dance Bloggers Dance, in its essence can be seen as a form of social interaction. Unique role of dancing is the recurrent motif in dance-related theories which underline that dance should not be approached only from the perspective of physical exercise but also interpreted within its social context. In other words, dance is a symbol of a changing society Dance is can be also seen as a non-verbal expression of emotions. These are projected from the inner subjective world of an individual onto the audience. Non-verbal communication through movement and gestures, as well as spatial arrangement of bodies predominates but the recent trends show the development of a ‘verbal’ dancing occurring online via specialized blogs and social networks. The growing popularity of dance blogs implies a great diversity within the communicative methods used by dancers. The traditional view of dance as a representative of non-verbal interaction will be challenged in this paper and hypothesis stating that the verbal and non-verbal communication are strictly interrelated will be suggested. Moreover, the paper will concentrate on the impact that online blogging communities have on socialization and identity formation among dancers. The research question revolves around the idea that dance blogging demonstrates the need to use verbal signs to complete the predominantly non-verbal communication. Furthermore, the reasons motivating bloggers to write about dance will be analyzed. This will be done in order to demonstrate how attitudes to dancing and communicating as well as dancers’ distinctive ways of socialization are reflected by their belongingness to the blogging community. The investigation attempts at identifying the mechanism behind online interactions among dancers and the ways in which the Internet influences socialization and formation of dancer’s identity. The theories used in study are rooted in both macro- and micro-sociology and their aim is to clarify concepts such as communication, meaning and identification within a group. The data will be collected through interviews conducted with dance bloggers and through the observations of thirty dance blogs. Content analysis of such data will, hopefully, demonstrate how significant blogging is for the online and offline communication processes.

Bakgrund: Kommunikationen är en stor och viktig del i omvårdnaden av individer med demenssjukdom. Demenssjukdomen påverkar individens kommunikativa förmåga samt hjärnans förmåga att processa information. Syfte: Syftet var att belysa faktorer som främjar kommunikationen i omvårdnaden med individer som är diagnostiserade med demenssjukdom. Metod: Studien genomfördes som en allmän litteraturstudie. Studiens ansats var induktiv. Resultatet baserades på nio vetenskapliga artiklar. Resultat: I resultatet framkom fyra huvudkategorier: Kunskap och förståelse för individen, Personcentrerad vård, Prioriteringar och tid samt Kommunikativa hjälpmedel. En underkategori till Kommunikativa hjälpmedel skapades också: Musik som hjälpmedel. I resultatet framkom flertalet kommunikationsstrategier som ansågs främja kommunikationen i omvårdnaden vid demenssjukdom, däribland musik, kunskap och språklig anpassning. Konklusion: Faktorer såsom anpassat språk, musik och god kunskap om individen lyftes främja kommunikationen i omvårdnaden vid demenssjukdom samt att flertalet av faktorerna går hand i hand. Det uppmärksammades att vårdpersonal måste bli bättre på att implementera faktorerna i demensvården samtidigt som mer utbildning för vårdpersonal behövs kring ämnet.Background: Communication is an important part in caring for people with dementia. Dementia affects the individual’s communications skills and the brain’s ability to process information. Aim: The aim of this study was to illustrate factors that facilitates communication in the daily care for people diagnosed with dementia. Method: This study was conducted as a literature review with inductive approach. The result was based on nine scientific articles. Result: The result emerged in four main categories; Knowledge and understanding of the person, Person-centered care, Priorities and time and Communicative aids. Another category, associated to Communicative aids was formed, Music as an aid. The result reveled several communications strategies that were considered to promote communication in the daily care for people living with dementia such as music, knowledge and language adaption. Conclusion: Adapted language, music and good knowledge of the person are factors that facilitates communication in the daily care in people living with dementia and most of the factors goes hand in hand. The study drew attention to the fact that nursing staff needs to improve their skills regarding implanting the factors in dementia care. At the same time, more training is needed for the nursing staff on this subject.

Full textAbstract:
This research focuses on multimodal pedagogical communication in synthetic (virtual) worlds. The study investigates the interplay between verbal and nonverbal interaction which supports verbal participation and production in a foreign language. This is analysed from a socio-semiotic perspective of multimodality within the context of a course held in the synthetic world Second Life, which adopted a Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) approach. The course, entitled 'Building Fragile Spaces', formed part of the European project ARCHI21. It was designed for higher education students of Architecture whose foreign language was either French or English. The interplay between verbal and nonverbal interaction is examined from three different angles. Firstly, considering the opportunities synthetic worlds offer for the co-creation of the environment through building activities and for collaboration, the role played by the nonverbal mode during a collaborative building activity is investigated. The study questions whether the use of the nonverbal mode impacts on the participation of students in the verbal mode, and whether any interplay exists between these two modes that influences verbal production. Secondly, use of the nonverbal mode by students in inworld identity construction is addressed and considered with reference to their verbal interaction, and participation, in the foreign language. Thirdly, the research concentrates upon interplay between the audio and textchat modalities in the verbal mode. More specifically, the focus is on whether the textchat plays a role during interaction, considering it is in competition not only with the audio modality but also with several nonverbal modalities; and on whether the textchat modality can serve for feedback provision on language form. This thesis seeks to contribute to the methodological considerations to allow research to move beyond speculative and anecdotal examples of multimodal pedagogical communication in synthetic worlds. A typology of nonverbal and verbal modalities is proposed, and then drawn upon, to extend a previous methodology suggested for multimodal transcription to interactions in synthetic worlds. Considering, within the fields of Social Sciences and Language Sciences, the more general research problem to render research data used for analyses visible and publically accessible, the study adopts a LEarning and TEaching Corpus (LETEC) methodological approach. Constituting a structured corpus allows for contextual analyses of the data collected during the 'Building Fragile Spaces' course. This research offers insights into how verbal participation increases with reference to the proxemic organisation of students, the customization of students' avatar appearance and an increased use of nonverbal acts. Concerning verbal production, the study shows how avatar movement in the nonverbal mode was used as a strategy to overcome verbal miscommunication when expressing direction and orientation and also the benefits of using the textchat modality for feedback on language form in order to support learners' productions in the audio modality. In light of these results, the study suggests some considerations concerning the design of pedagogical activities for language learning within synthetic worlds.

Full textAbstract:
In today's worlds of industry and academia, teamwork is becoming more and more prevalent and is becoming more and more desirable when addressing certain tasks. Intensified and growing competition in the global marketplace is forcing businesses to produce better products, thereby, requiring the input and expertise of various people with diverse backgrounds. Organizations have adopted a team approach in response to the technological advances that contribute to the complexity of many tasks in the workplace making it difficult for employees to work independently (Mathieu, Heffner, Goodwin, Salas, Cannon-Bowers, 2000).
The purpose of this research is to investigate the communication patterns of disciplinarily heterogeneous student design teams at the university level. A quasi-experimental design, specifically a non-equivalent control group design was used for this study. This study has two research questions: 1) what is the process that leads to convergence of a team-based mental model among disciplinarily heterogeneous team members? and 2) what are the factors associated with convergence that lead to effective disciplinarily heterogeneous teams? The results will allow the formation of guidelines that will assist such students in improving their effectiveness by allowing the convergence of the team members onto the same mental model(s). It must be noted that data collection for the experimental teams continued after the tragic events that occurred at Virginia Tech on April 16, 2007.
The results for this study were variable. Through examination of the fluctuation of the reliability scores across the three times it was administered, as well as the Pearson-Product Moment comparison, the Group Behavior Inventory is not the best instrument to use in an academic setting for student teams. The disciplinarily homogeneous teams disagreed more and the disciplinarily heterogeneous teams agreed more in terms of body language, while disciplinarily heterogeneous disagreed more through verbal utterances of sighs and pauses; however none of these differences were statistically significant. Certain agreement and disagreement indicators were significantly negatively correlated. Therefore, the corroboration of the Group Behavior Inventory constructs can only be applied to a specific disagreement indicator.Master of Science

Full textAbstract:
Salzinger (1998) define o comportamento verbal como um operante sujeito às conseqüências e discute que o comportamento verbal é parte de uma cadeia de respostas verbais e não verbais, públicas e encobertas, estando intimamente envolvido no manejo de outros comportamentos às vezes como causa, agindo como estímulo discriminativo e outras vezes apresentando o papel de efeito. Nesta encadeamento verbal, é fundamental estudar o papel das regras como estímulos verbais que descrevem contingências de reforçamento de forma completa ou parcial e conseqüências, e controlam a probabilidade de uma resposta. O presente estudo teve como objetivo investigar o efeito de variáveis verbais antecedentes com e sem autoclíticos, conseqüentes com autoclíticos e conseqüentes não verbais, para a instalação e manutenção do comportamento de escolha de alimentos variados para o café da manhã, considerando os diferentes grupos alimentares. Para isto, vinte crianças com faixa etária entre 10 e 12 anos foram organizadas igualmente em cinco Experimentos com arranjos diferentes quanto ao uso de variáveis verbais e não verbais. Na mesa de escolha de alimentos, havia quatro alimentos representantes dos carboidratos, dois das gorduras e quatro das proteínas e era considerada como escolha variada a resposta de escolher ao menos dois representantes dos carboidratos e proteínas e um das gorduras. Foram testadas ao todo dez diferentes variáveis nesse estudo, sendo nove delas verbais e uma não verbal, entre antecedentes e conseqüentes, distribuídas entre os Experimentos de forma a se manter um equilíbrio do número de fases em cada um deles. Houve variáveis antecedentes com variados graus de descrição da resposta que a criança deveria desempenhar, cada uma com autoclíticos diferentes, variáveis aplicadas individualmente e em grupo e uma variável de controle aversivo. Em alguns Experimentos procurou-se inverter as fases com emprego de variável antecedente com as fases que empregaram variável conseqüente, para se estabelecer uma comparação quanto à eficácia das mesmas na instalação e manutenção do comportamento de escolha variada. Os resultados principais indicam maior controle verbal das variáveis verbais conseqüentes com autoclíticos e das variáveis antecedentes com autoclíticos específicos e com descrição da resposta bem detalhada que aumenta a discriminabilidade dos estímulos relacionados à resposta e a probabilidade do fazer. Além da avaliação de que componentes da variável verbal podem melhor funcionar no controle do comportamento não verbal, no estudo fica evidente o importante papel das variáveis sociais na efetividade do controle verbal. Identificou-se especialmente no Experimento 5 que o controle verbal é maior em grupo, tanto no que se refere à mudança de comportamento de todos os participantes, como à manutenção da mesma após a retirada do controle verbal. As discussões gerais sobre os resultados mostram que o comportamento de escolha de alimentos parece ser fortemente instalado ao longo da história, de modo que sua alteração requer variáveis verbais tanto antecedentes como conseqüentes bastante específicasSalzinger (1998) defines verbal behavior as an operant subject to consequences and argues that verbal behavior is part of a chain of verbal and nonverbal, overt or covert responses, being closely involved in managing other behaviors sometimes as \"cause\", acting as a discriminative stimulus, and other times playing an effect role. In this verbal enchainment, it is of fundamental importance to study the role of rules as verbal stimuli which describe reinforcing contingencies in a complete or partial manner and consequences, and control the likelihood of a response. The objective of this paper was to investigate the effect of antecedent verbal variables with and without autoclytics, consequents with autoclytics and nonverbal consequents, on the onset and maintenance of the behavior to choose varied foods for breakfast, considering the different food groups. To this end, twenty children aged between 10 and 12 were equally divided into five experiments with different arrangements as to the use of verbal and nonverbal variants. On the food choice table, there were four types of foods representing carbohydrates, two for fats and four for proteins, with a varied choice being considered as the response to choose at least two types of carbohydrates and proteins and one of fats. In all, ten different variables were tested in this study, with nine of them being verbal and one nonverbal, between antecedents and consequents, distributed among the experiments so as to maintain a balance of the number of phases in each one of them. There were antecedent variables with various degrees of description of the response the child was supposed to perform, each with different autoclytics, individually- and groupapplied variables and an aversive control variable. In some experiments we tried to reverse the phases using an antecedent variable with the phases which used a consequent variable, in order to establish a comparison as to their effectiveness in the onset and maintenance of the varied choice behavior. The main results indicate greater verbal control of consequent verbal variables with autoclytics and of antecedent variables with specific autoclytics and with detailed description of the response, which increases discriminability of the response-related stimuli and the likelihood of performing it. In addition to the assessment that components of the verbal variable may work better in controlling nonverbal behavior, the study evidences the important role played by social variables in the effectiveness of verbal control. It was identified, especially in experiment 5, that verbal control is higher in group, both regarding the change of behavior by all participants and its maintenance after verbal control was removed. General discussions on the results show that the food choice behavior seems to have been strongly settled along history, so that its alteration requires very specific verbal variables both antecedent and consequent

Introduction: The delivery of health care in the 21st century will look like no other in the past. The fast paced technological advances that are being made will need to transition from the information age into clinical practice. The phenomenon of e-Health is the over-arching form of information technology and telehealth is one arm of that phenomenon. The uptake of telehealth both in Australia and overseas, has changed the face of health service delivery to many rural and remote communities for the better, removing what is known as the tyranny of distance. Many studies have evaluated the satisfaction and cost-benefit analysis of telehealth across the organisational aspects as well as the various adaptations of clinical pathways and this is the predominant focus of most studies published to date. However, whilst comments have been made by many researchers about the need to improve and attend to the communication and relationship building aspects of telehealth no studies have examined this further. The aim of this study was to identify the patient and clinician experiences, concerns, behaviours and perceptions of the telehealth interaction and develop a training tool to assist these clinicians to improve their interaction skills.
Methods: A mixed methods design combining quantitative (survey analysis and data coding) and qualitative (interview analysis) approaches was adopted. This study utilised four phases to firstly qualitatively explore the needs of clients (patients) and clinicians within a telehealth consultation then designed, developed, piloted and quantitatively and qualitatively evaluated the telehealth communication training program. Qualitative data was collected and analysed during Phase 1 of this study to describe and define the missing 'communication and rapport building' aspects within telehealth. This data was then utilised to develop a self-paced communication training program that enhanced clinicians existing skills, which comprised of Phase 2 of this study to develop the interactive program. Phase 3 included evaluating the training program with 26 clinicians and results were recorded pre and post training, whilst phase 4 was the pilot for future recommendations of this training program using a patient group within a Queensland Health setting at two rural hospitals.
Results: Comparisons of pre and post training data on 1) Effective communication styles, 2) Involvement in communication training package, 3) satisfaction pre and post training, and 4) health outcomes pre and post training indicated that there were differences between pre and post training in relation to effective communication style, increased satisfaction and no difference in health outcomes between pre and post training for this patient group.
The post training results revealed over half of the participants (N= 17, 65%) were more responsive to non-verbal cues and were better able to reflect and respond to looks of anxiousness and confusion from a 'patient' within a telehealth consultation. It was also found that during post training evaluations, clinicians had enhanced their therapeutic communication with greater detail to their own body postures, eye contact and presentation. There was greater time spent looking at the 'patient' with an increase of 35 second intervals of direct eye contact and less time spent looking down at paperwork which decreased by 20 seconds.
Overall 73% of the clinicians were satisfied with the training program and 61% strongly agreed that they recognised areas of their communication that needed improving during a telehealth consultation. For the patient group there was significant difference post training in rapport with a mean score from 42 (SD = 28, n = 27) to 48 (SD = 5.9, n = 24). For communication comfort of the patient group there was a significant difference between the pre and post training scores t(10) = 27.9, p = .002, which meant that overall the patients felt less inhibited whilst talking to the clinicians and more understood.
Conclusion: The aim of this study was to explore the characteristics of good patient-clinician communication and unmet training needs for telehealth consultations. The study developed a training program that was specific for telehealth consultations and not dependent on a 'trainer' to deliver the content. In light of the existing literature this is a first of its kind and a valuable contribution to the research on this topic. It was found that the training program was effective in improving the clinician's communication style and increased the satisfaction of patient's within an e-health environment. This study has identified some historical myths that telehealth cannot be part of empathic patient centred care due to its technology tag.

Full textAbstract:
Excellent nonverbal communications between doctors and patients are essential for having an effective medical consultation. Current studies usually work on face-to-face doctor-patient communications and manually measure the nonverbal behaviors for doctors or students; however, the main challenge of those methods is to automatize the detection method. In the past decade, new technologies, such as video conferencing, transformed medical communication. Therefore, it is better to do nonverbal behavior analyses via computer vision technologies, which can benefit the video-conferencing medical consultations. This thesis presents a system consisting of detectors to recognize medical student’s nonverbal behaviors automatically. The system implemented the new technologies, including computer vision (CV) and affective computing, to enable automatic detections for video-conferencing communication between medical students (from UNSW) and volunteers who acted as Simulated Patients (SP). The results of the detected medical students’ behaviors have been analyzed and showed that nonverbal behavior mimicry has an impact on their communication performance. In addition, how students’ nonverbal behaviors influence the quality of the teleconsultations has been studied. Communication skills can be vital to many professions, not just medical education. The potential application of nonverbal behavior mimicry detector and the findings of this thesis are not limited. Many professionals, such as employee-employer communication, could be benefited from using detectors for communication skills training.

Syftet med detta examensarbete är att synliggöra hur den icke-verbala kommunikationen ser ut hos lärare i ämnet idrott och hälsa i idrottsundervisningen. I arbetet undersöks också hur idrottslärarna själva upplever att de använder sig av den icke-verbala kommunikationen i undervisningen. För att besvara frågeställningarna används tidigare forskning som har bedrivits inom den icke-verbala kommunikationen i synnerhet. Som ett teoretiskt ramverk för analysen av idrottslärares icke-verbala kommunikation, har vi som utgångspunkt använt oss av Marie Gelangs teoretiska referensramar och begreppsapparat. Vi har framförallt inspirerats av Actiokapitalet: retorikens ickeverbala resurser från 2008. I Gelangs egen analys av den icke-verbala kommunikationen har Pierre Bourdieu och habitusbegreppet stått för den teoretiska plattformen. Vidare har frågeställningarna besvarats med hjälp av en kvalitativ metod i två olika delar. Dels i form av semistrukturerade videoobservationer av fyra idrottslärare i undervisningssituationer, där lärarnas icke-verbala signaler har kategoriserats med hjälp av ett observationsschema. Vidare har även semistrukturerade intervjuer genomförts med idrottslärarna, för att undersöka hur de själva upplever användandet av sin icke-verbala kommunikation. Resultatet och analysen av insamlade data visar på att lärarna arbetar med den icke-verbal kommunikationen på olika sätt. Kroppsspråk, mimik, paralingvistik, energi, dynamik, tempo och personligt avstånd kan uttryckas på olika sätt och ge olika signaler. Det tillvägagångsätt som varje enskild lärare använder sig av är till viss del förankrat i deras upplevelse om hur de vill bli betraktade, vilket i sin tur speglas i hur synkroniseringen mellan de olika icke-verbala resurserna framförs. Vidare tyder resultaten på att lärarna till viss del är medvetna om hur de arbetar icke-verbalt i sammanhang som har en koppling till didaktiken.

Full textAbstract:
When strangers meet, there is a high level of uncertainty due to the infinite number of possible alternatives in behavior between the two people. Previous research indicates that communicators will attempt to reduce the level of uncertainty by using available verbal and nonverbal information of the other, by seeking similarities with the other, and by observing the situation itself. This information is used to predict attitudes and beliefs, as well as to attribute characteristics of the other. Other studies indicate that a person will increase her level of self-monitoring activity when the level of uncertainty is increased.

My study is focused on one organization with is Unicef, the organization that is workning on a UN mission. The mission is about children's rights and Unicef has brought children's actions since 1946.The purpose of this essay was to research whether the images can be used alone or as a complement to the text that the communication organizations use. By examining the way images are used, I hoped to be able to deduce the results of image use. I study if the effect out messages with only pictures will be more effective than the message in which the verbal mixed with the non-verbal.Theoretical part of this essay has a communication perspective. The essay is structure by tree elements, non-verbal communication, mass communication and intercultural communication. With these elements, or keywords, have I interpret UNICEFs communications through two media channels, internet and TV.The methodology I have chosen is qualitative method with a hermeneutic approach. I have carried out three qualitative interviews with women within the organization and one group interview consisting of four persons. I have also observation a qualitative media observation of charity gala on TV4. My conclusions were that non-verbal communication is most likely more effective as a tool too the verbal instead of the only communication. I also got the conclusion that UNICEF communicate with people thought picture that’s gives hope for the future.

Previous issue date: 2007-03-12This study investigates the influence of non-verbal communication on the efficiency of salespersons, through an analysis of how well different subjects can perceive-recognize universal facial expressions of emotions. Our subjects were 15 salespeople employed by a retail and service company and 100 graduate business students of a university in Goiânia. A questionnaire and the “reading faces” test (Ekman (2003) were applied to each subject. The test consists of 14 photographs of the face of a same person with facial expressions of sadness, disgust, happiness, anger, fear and disdain. The hypthesis, that the more one knows how to interpret emotional facial expressions, the more successful persons are in their sales results (as presented in the literature), was not confirmed, although it was demonstrated in the study that all the salespeople tend to make use of non-verbal communication in their daily activities.
Este estudo é uma investigação acerca da influência da comunicação não-verbal na eficiêcia dos vendedores, através de uma análise da facilidade com que diferentes sujeitos percebem-reconhecem expressões faciais de emoções universais. Participaram deste experimento 15 vendedores de empresa varejista e de serviço e 100 alunos do curso de graduação em administração de uma universidade em Goiânia, GO. Foi aplicado um questionário e o teste “Lendo faces” do Ekman(2003), que consiste em 14 fotos do rosto de um mesmo sujeito com as expressões de emoções faciais de tristeza, nojo, alegria, raiva, medo e desdenho. Não foi confirmada a hipótese de que quanto mais sabe-se interpretar as expressões faciais de emoção, mais sucesso as pessoas têm em seus resultados de vendas, como é apresentado na literatura, embora todos os vendedores tendem a fazer uso da interpretação da comunicação não-verbal nas suas atividades diárias, como ficou demonstrado na pesquisa

El lenguaje corporal ha existido desde el inicio de la humanidad. Antiguamente, la comunicación se basaba, únicamente, en gestos, posturas, movimientos, entre otros. En estos días, el lenguaje corporal se ha convertido en una herramienta muy poderosa que ofrece a las organizaciones una mejora en sus procesos de comunicación; sin embargo, es muy poco utilizada. En los últimos años, las empresas han estado capacitando a los colaboradores del área de ventas para un mayor desempeño en el manejo de su lenguaje corporal. Sin embargo, las demás áreas no han mostrado algún interés en las mismas, por lo que han perdido la posibilidad de mejorar su clima laboral y desempeño. En este trabajo presentamos temas que influyen en el lenguaje corporal o sistema kinésico, entre ellos, la cultura, el lenguaje según género, capacitación, comunicación efectiva y complemento de la comunicación verbal y no verbal, con el objetivo de demostrar que el lenguaje corporal es una disciplina válida para la mejor gestión humana en las organizaciones. Para la realización del estudio, hemos establecido una metodología de investigación bibliográfica de artículos que se encuentren en cuartil uno y dos (en su mayoría). Estos nos han permitido identificar y confirmar la importancia del lenguaje corporal en las organizaciones.Body language has existed since the beginning of humanity. In the past, communication was based solely on gestures, postures, movements, among others. These days, body language has become a very powerful tool that offers organizations an improvement in their communication processes; however, it is very little used. In recent years, companies have been training employees in the sales area for greater performance in the management of their body language. However, the other areas have not shown any interest in them, so they have lost the possibility of improving their working environment and performance. In this paper we present topics that influence body language or kinésico system, among them, culture, language according to gender, training, effective communication and complement of verbal and non-verbal communication, with the aim of demonstrating that body language is a valid discipline for the best human management in organizations. To carry out the study, we have established a bibliographic research methodology for articles that are in quartile one and two (mostly). These have not allowed to identify and confirm the importance of body language in organizations.

Esta pesquisa parte da visão da criança como agente ativo de seu próprio desenvolvimento. Buscou-se investigar a interação criança-criança, os processos formadores de \"cultura\" no grupo de brinquedo e o papel dos modos de comunicação verbal e não-verbal nestes processos de co-construção de significados compartilhados. Foram estudados os estilos de brincadeiras das crianças, as parcerias preferenciais entre elas e as mudanças nas formas de comunicação durante o período estudado. Os sujeitos foram crianças de 1 a 3 anos de idade, acompanhados semanalmente, durante 1 ano e meio, numa creche em São Paulo. Foram realizadas filmagens das crianças em momentos de atividade lúdica livre (com pouca interferência das educadoras), utilizando-se os métodos de amostragem \"focal\" e \"varredura instantânea\". Além disso, foram feitas sessões de observação semicontrolada, filmando-se, separadamente, duplas de crianças com maior ou menor afinidade social, brincando com 10 pares de objetos pré-selecionados. Os resultados mostram que as crianças comunicaram-se mais entre si do que com adultos, tanto de modo verbal quanto não-verbal. Do período inicial de coleta de dados para o final, houve uma diminuição significativa de comportamentos não-verbais indicativos de comunicação e um aumento significativo de episódios de verbalização. No período inicial, houve uma freqüência significativamente maior de verbalizações em contextos de interações agonísticas e imperativas, e no período final houve uma freqüência significativamente maior de verbalizações de convite para interação. Verificou-se um aumento da comunicação verbal quando as crianças estavam com idades entre 1 ano e 10 meses (a mais nova) e 2 anos e 6 meses (a mais velha). Quanto ao comportamento não-verbal, as crianças se comunicaram mais por olhares e expressões faciais, no entanto, no período inicial houve uma freqüência significativamente maior de vocalizações, no período intermediário houve uma freqüência significativamente maior de gestos e acenos e, no período final, de imitações. A imitação foi considerada como um meio das crianças compartilharem significados e de iniciarem ou manterem interações sociais. A situação de duplas foi favorecedora de episódios de imitação e ocorreu maior freqüência de interações sociais após imitação principalmente quando as crianças estavam com idades próximas a 3 anos. Em relação aos estilos de brincadeiras, duplas com maior afinidade social apresentaram freqüência significativamente maior de brincadeiras de contingência social do que duplas com menor afinidade; duplas formadas apenas por meninas brincaram mais de faz-de-conta, duplas formadas somente por meninos brincaram mais de brincadeiras paralelas e duplas mistas brincaram mais de brincadeiras do tipo \"física\". Quando em grupo, as meninas brincaram mais com outras crianças do que sozinhas, diferentemente dos meninos. Foram identificadas e descritas qualitativamente algumas formas de brincadeiras particulares do grupo estudado. A conclusão foi que crianças dessa faixa etária são capazes de construir e compartilhar significados no grupo, mesmo antes de dominarem a comunicação verbal. Porém, também há indícios de que a fala facilite os processos de compartilhamento e persistência de significados no grupo e favoreça o aumento da complexidade das brincadeiras entre as crianças.This research is based on the view of the child as an active agent of his/her own development. It aimed to investigate the child-child interaction, the processes of \"culture\" creation within the playgroup and the role of verbal and nonverbal forms of communication in those processes of joint construction of shared meanings. The style of the children\'s play, the preferential partnerships between them and the changes in the forms of communication during the study period were examined. The subjects were 1-to-3-year-old children, weekly monitored over a year and a half at a daycare center in São Paulo. The children were videorecorded during free-play activity (with little interference from the educators), and the \"focalsubject\" and \"scan-sampling\" methods were used. In addition, semi-controlled observation sessions were conducted, and pairs of children with greater or smaller social affinity were separately recorded playing with ten pairs of pre-selected objects. Results show that the children communicated more between themselves than with adults, both verbally and nonverbally. From the period the data started to be collected to the end of the study, a significant decrease in nonverbal behaviors indicative of communication and a significant increase in verbalization episodes were observed. A significantly higher frequency of verbalizations in contexts of agonistic and imperative interactions was observed in the initial period, whereas a significantly higher frequency of verbalizations of invitation to interaction was observed in the final period. The verbal communication increased when the children were 1 year and 10 months old (youngest child) to 2 years and 6 months old (oldest child). As for nonverbal behavior, the children\'s communication was predominantly through looks and facial expressions, however there has been a significantly higher frequency of vocalizations in the initial period, a significantly higher frequency of gestures and nods and waves in the intermediary period and of imitations in the final period. Imitation was considered a means through which children share meanings and start or maintain social interactions. The situation of pairs favored episodes of imitation and social interactions were more frequent after imitation mainly when the children were near 3 years of age. Concerning play styles, pairs with greater social affinity produced a significantly higher frequency of social-contingency play than pairs with smaller affinity; pairs formed only by girls did more make-believe play, pairs formed only by boys did more parallel play and mixed pairs did more \"physical\" play. When the girls were in group, they played more with other children than when they were alone, differently from the boys. Some forms of play particular to the studied group were identified and qualitatively described. The research concluded that children in this age bracket are able to build and share meanings within the group, even before mastering the verbal communication. However, there are also signs that the speech facilitates the sharing processes and the persistence of meanings within the group and leads to more complex play between the children.

Full textAbstract:
This study seeks to explore an understudied population, Middle Eastern students, in the area of instructional communication. Of particular interest, the study seeks to understand how Middle Eastern students’ view their Western instructors’ verbal and nonverbal immediacy. The literature review establishes a conceptualization for verbal and nonverbal immediacy and the relationship between immediacy and gender, and immediacy and culture. Expectancy violations theory is used to understand the phenomena from an expectancy violations perspective and Hofstede’s dimensions will be used in an instructional context to understand how Middle Eastern students’ culture may influence students’ expectations. This study uses a mixed method approach to create a holistic views of Middle Eastern students’ expectations and expectancy violations. The survey method seeks to understand Middle Eastern students’ expectation for instructor verbal and nonverbal immediacy, and email responses seeks to understand expectancy violations and cultural influence on student expectancies. The results of the study show that Middle Eastern students view verbal and nonverbal immediacy as important factors in the student-teacher relationship and cultural factors play a role in students’ expectations.

Resumo: Nesta dissertação realizo uma reflexão sobre os conceitos teóricos e práticos que fundamentam o trabalho de Eutonia e apresento uma pesquisa que elaborei a partir destes conceitos. A Eutonia propõe um campo metodológico que envolve o autoconhecimento do próprio corpo e de sua atividade de movimento. Estabelece um campo investigatório no qual revelam-se conhecimentos, que denomino ¿o saber do corpo¿. Refletindo sobre este ¿saber¿, reconheço e o relaciono com os pressupostos estabelecidos pela teoria fenomenológica de Merleau-Ponty, onde a noção de corporeidade e a dimensão existencial se incluem. Seguindo, descrevo sobre os conceitos teórico-práticos da Eutonia e, estabeleço uma conexão entre o processo de aprendizagem com o campo de criação. Para tal, realizo um recorte aprofundando minha pesquisa nas ¿posições de controle¿, onde observo os campos de atuação destas posições em termos de ensino-aprendizagem, criação individual e coletiva, descritas como laboratório de Criação e de Direção. O final da dissertação é contemplado com um DVD que contem imagens de minha atuação como educadora e diretora no trabalho denominado ¿Performance Coletiva¿ realizado com meus alunos do curso de Pós-Graduação e Aperfeiçoamento ¿Dinâmicas Corporais como Expressões Terapêuticas ¿ das Faculdade Senac Ciências da Saúde no ano de 2004
Abstract: In this dissertation I reflect about theoretical and practical concepts that are the basis of the work with Euthony and presents a research based on these concepts. Euthony proposes a methodology that involves the knowledge of one¿s body and its activity of movement; establishing a research field that I have named ¿ the knowledge of the body¿. Considering the ¿knowledge¿, I identify and relate it to the principles of the phenomenology theory of Merleau- Ponty, where the notion of body and existential dimension come together. Following, the theoretic-practical concepts of Eutonia are described and then I establish a connection between the learning process and the creation. In order to do so, I use in my research on ¿ control position¿ of Euthony, where I observ the possibilities of these positions in terms of teaching ¿ learning, individual and collective creation described as Laboratory of Creation and Direction. At the end of the dissertation I have enclosed a DVD that contains images from my activities as teacher and directeur with the work ¿Performance Coletiva¿ performed in 2004 by my pos graduate students from the course I coordinate at Faculdade Senac Ciências da Saúde

Introdução: Decodificar corretamente a comunicação não verbal tem sido desafiador para que a relação professor aluno seja adequada em sala. Com a finalidade de identificar a percepção dos docentes de graduação em Enfermagem sobre seu comportamento comunicativo não verbal em sala de aula, para posterior treinamento, este trabalho teve como objetivo geral: conhecer e compreender o significado da comunicação não verbal para os docentes de graduação em Enfermagem em sala de aula e como objetivos específicos: verificar os sinais não verbais emitidos por docentes durante suas explanações em aulas ministradas aos graduandos de Enfermagem; conhecer a percepção dos docentes de Enfermagem em relação à comunicação com os alunos e aos sinais não verbais emitidos durante suas explanações em aulas ministradas aos graduandos de enfermagem; conhecer a percepção dos docentes de enfermagem sobre o que é a comunicação efetiva e eficaz em sala de aula. Método: pesquisa exploratória, descritiva, de campo, com abordagem quanti e qualitativa em 3 campi de uma universidade particular de São Paulo (Brasil), totalizando 11 docentes filmados em 220 minutos. Após as filmagens, pesquisadora e docentes identificaram sinais não verbais emitidos, segundo referencial teórico que especifica como sinais não verbais de uso efetivo/eficaz comportamentos que encorajam a fala do outro porque demonstram aceitação e respeito e sinais não verbais de uso ineficaz comportamentos que, provavelmente, enfraquecem a conversação (Silva MJP. Comunicação tem remédio: a comunicação nas relações interpessoais em saúde. 8a. ed. São Paulo: Loyola; 2006). Em seguida, feita entrevista gravada para identificar a percepção do docente sobre seu comportamento comunicativo não verbal, com o roteiro de perguntas: 1- Como você se viu na filmagem? 2- O que você observou na sua comunicação não verbal? 3 - Como você acha que deve ser a comunicação não verbal de um docente em sala de aula? Resultados: Nas filmagens, comparando-se percepções docentes e da pesquisadora, percebe-se concordância na decodificação de sinais não verbais, porém com os primeiros 5 minutos de filmagem com os docentes ansiosos, indecisos e envergonhados (verificados em alguns momentos na postura-81.8%, contato dos olhos-27.3%, nas expressões faciais-45.5%, nos maneirismos-100%, no ritmo de voz-45.5% e na postura corporal-90,9%). Nas entrevistas surgiram duas grandes categorias: 1 - Visão de si próprio, com três categorias relacionadas às perguntas um e dois (Surpresa sobre si mesmo - com os docentes se surpreendendo ao se verem filmados; Reconhecendo-se positivamente e Reconhecendo-se negativamente) e 2 - Comunicação adequada para docentes com outras três categorias relacionadas à pergunta três (Dando feedback ao aluno; Complementando o verbal e Não contradizendo o verbal) em que expressam comportamentos gerais que consideram adequados em sala. Em relação à comunicação não verbal efetiva e eficaz, os docentes consideraram que é aquela que oferece feedback aos alunos, aproximando-os do professor e chamando atenção para o conteúdo, com gestos que incentivam a participação dos alunos e complementam o verbal, reforçando a fala e valorizando os alunos; é a comunicação que envolve, motiva, agrada, faz uso do toque entre docente e aluno, além de fazer com que os alunos se sintam importantes no processo de ensino-aprendizagem. Conclusão: a maior parte dos sinais não verbais emitidos pelos docentes é adequada, porém foi confirmada necessidade de treinamento pela falta de identificação de sinais não verbais mais sutisIntroduction: Correctly decoding nonverbal communication has been a challenge for the relationship professor-student to be appropriate in classroom. Aiming to identify the perception of nursing undergraduate professors concerning their nonverbal communicative behavior for later training, this studys general objective: was to identify and understand the meaning held by undergraduate nursing professors concerning nonverbal communication. Its specific objectives were to verify nonverbal signs sent by professors during their explanations in classes administered to undergraduate nursing students; identify the perception of nursing professors concerning nonverbal signs sent during classes; and identify the perception of nursing professors about what is effective and efficient communication in the classroom. Method: exploratory, descriptive, quantitative and qualitative field research was conducted in three campuses of a private university in São Paulo, Brazil. Eleven professors were filmed during 220 minutes. After filming, researcher and professors identified nonverbal signs according to a theoretical framework that specifies as effective / efficient use of nonverbal signs behaviors that encourage speech of the others because they demonstrate acceptance and respect and ineffective use of the nonverbal signs behaviors that problably weaken the conversation (Silva MJP. Comunicação tem remédio: a comunicação nas relações interpessoais em saúde. 8a. ed. São Paulo: Loyola; 2006.). Afterwards, an interview was held to identify the perception of professors concerning their nonverbal communicative behavior. 1. How did you see yourself in the filming? 2. What have you observed in your nonverbal communication? 3. How do you think should be the nonverbal communication of a teacher in the classroom? Results: Agreement was observed when the perceptions of the researcher and professors were compared, though the professors were anxious, uncertain, and shy in the first five minutes of filming (seen in some moments in the posture-81.8%, eye contact- 27.3%, in facial expressions 45.5%, mannerisms-100%, voice-45.5% and body posture-90,9%). Two categories emerged from the interviews: how professors view themselves, in which professors became surprised at seeing themselves being filmed; with three categories related to questions one and two (Surprise about yourself - with teachers is surprising to find themselves filmed Recognizing positively and negatively acknowledging). And 2 appropriate communication for professors, in which they report general behavior considered appropriate within classroom with three other categories related to question three (Giving feedback to students; Complementing the verbal and non-verbal contradicting) that express behaviors in general they consider appropriate in the classroom. Teachers considered that the effective and efficient nonverbal communication is the one that provides feedback to students, bringing them closer to the teacher and drawing attention to the content, with gestures that encourage the participation of students and complement the verbal, reinforcing speech and valuing students; is the communication which involves, motivates, pleases and makes use of touch between teacher and student; and also make students feel important in the teaching-learning process. Conclusion: Most part of the professors nonverbal signs is appropriate though the need for training is confirmed since more subtle nonverbal signs were not identified

Full textAbstract:
Afasi kan drabba både talförmågan och förståelsen för språket. Språket blir på så vis en utmaning för sjuksköterskan. Enligt hälso- och sjukvårdslagen ska sjuksköterskan skapa förutsättningar för patienten till att vara delaktig i sin vård och i kommunikationen. Syftet med denna litteraturstudie var att belysa faktorer som påverkar verbal- och ickeverbal kommunikation mellan patient med afasi efter stroke och sjuksköterskan. Uppsatsen är utformad som en litteraturstudie, där resultatets elva artiklar har hämtats från databaserna Cinahl och PubMed. Fem kategorier bildades som utgjorde faktorer som påverkar den verbala och icke verbala kommunikationen: stöd, miljö, relation, kroppsspråk och beröring. Den ickeverbala kommunikationen är grunden i omvårdnaden av en patient med afasi och omvårdnad och kommunikation interagerar med varandra. För att underlätta kommunikationen med en afatiker kan vårdpersonalen använda sig av olika metoder. Dessa innefattar att tala tydligt och långsamt, vara i samma höjdläge som patienten, ha ögonkontakt, ställa en fråga i taget och observera patientens reaktioner på det som förmedlas genom deras kroppsspråk. Beröring mellan patient och vårdpersonal anses skapa samhörighet och blir ett sätt att kommunicera, detta får även patienten att känna att personalen är närvarande i situationen. Patienten med afasi anses vara i behov av stöd och tröst och genom att visa intresse uppmuntras patienten till att känna förtroende och hopp. Detta kan hjälpa patienten att se möjligheterna och att blicka framåt. Kunskap om kommunikationens betydelse krävs av sjuksköterskan för att patienten med afasi ska få en god vård och bli behandlad med respekt. Detta kan ske genom att ge utbildning till personalen som arbetar med patienter med afasi. Fler studier efterfrågas utifrån patientens perspektiv av kommunikationen med sjuksköterskan och annan vårdpersonal vid afasi efter stroke.
Aphasia can affect both the ability to speak and the comprehension of language and is therefore a challenge for nurses. According to the law of healthcare, the nurse should set up possibilities where the patient is personally involved in their care and in communication. The purpose of this literature study was to enlighten factors that affect verbal and nonverbal communication between the patients with aphasia after a stroke and the nurse. This paper is designed as a literature study, where the articles of the result have been taken from the databases Cinahl and PubMed. Five categories were created which were divided in factors effecting verbal and non verbal communication: support, environment, relations, body language and touch. Nonverbal communication is the foundation of the nursing of a patient with aphasia. To facilitate the communication with a patient with aphasia there are different methods to use. These methods include speaking clear and slow, being at the same height as the patient, keeping eye contact, asking one question at a time and observing the patients reactions on what is mediated, through their body language. The physical contact between patient and medical staff is considered to create solidarity and is a way to communicate. This also makes the patient feel like the staff is present. A patient with aphasia is believed to require support and comfort and by showing interest the patient is encouraged to feel confidence and hope. This can help the patient to see possibilities and a brighter future. Knowledge about the importance of communication is required by the nurse to give the patient with aphasia proper care and to be treated with respect. This can be achieved by educating the staff that works with patients with aphasia. More studies are asked for from the patient’s perspective of communication with the nurse and the patient with aphasia after stroke.

O tema da comunicação é um assunto relevante em psicanálise. Diferente de uma conversa comum, quando é possível identificar a posição do emissor e do receptor da mensagem, em psicanálise há uma opacidade para localizar esses elementos do processo de comunicação. Isso porque na situação analítica o paciente se dirige ao analista como uma figura construída a partir de sua realidade psíquica. A mensagem não é clara, mas cifrada em formações e processos inconscientes. Alguns conceitos como contratransferência, identificação projetiva e rêverie, sugerem a existência de processos comunicativos inconscientes. Esse é um assunto polêmico que gera debates a respeito das possíveis trocas inconscientes entre analista e paciente. O objetivo deste trabalho foi investigar a aplicação destes conceitos na investigação das práticas de cura espiritual, pois nesse contexto há fenômenos que sugerem a ocorrência de formas inefáveis de comunicação. Como estratégia de método foi adotada a pesquisa-participante realizada em um terreiro de umbanda e um centro espírita, ambos da cidade de Ribeirão Preto-SP. Foram também realizados atendimentos clínicos com a finalidade de comparar as formas de comunicação presentes em psicoterapia e nos ritos de cura. Estes atendimentos ocorreram tanto nos centros religiosos e em consultório particular. Os dados foram analisados utilizando-se modelos de inspirados nos conceitos de contratransferência, identificação projetiva e fenômenos transicionais e também nas contribuições da psicopatologia fundamental. Para análise dos resultados, levou-se em conta a experiência do pesquisador nos dois centros para se compararem os dados. Também foram feitas comparações entre a experiência do pesquisador nos centros e nos atendimentos em consultório particular. Em ambos os centros obtiveram-se situações relevantes para a pesquisa. Os dados mostram que a comunicação não-verbal é proeminente nas práticas espirituais de cura. As sensações corporais, assim como os gestos são elemento fundamental na comunicação mediúnica. Constituem-se como sinais de reconhecimento da presença de espíritos e também contribuem para os processo comunicativos dentro do grupo de participantes do culto. Na interação entre consulentes, médiuns e espíritos surgem narrativas que suscitam a formação de imagens significativas para o atendimento. A comparação entre atendimentos espirituais e atendimentos clínicos mostrou ser possível utilizar a psicanálise para a construção de modelos teóricos aplicáveis ao estudo do ritual sem incorrer em reducionismos teóricos. Foram definidos dois modelos teóricos para a discussão dos dados. Um modelo é referente às formas de comunicação ocorridas por via de sensações físicas e foi definido como o circuito comunicativo sensorial. O outro modelo foi chamado de via onírica e é referente aos processos que envolvem pictogramas e palavras. Os modelos foram inspirados nos conceitos psicanalíticos e servem para a interpretação de eventos que ocorrem tanto em psicoterapia quanto nas práticas espirituais de cura.Communication is an important subject in psychoanalysis. Differing from a common conversation, when is possible to identify the position of the emitter and messages receiver, in psychoanalysis there is an opacity to localize these elements of the communicational process. It occurs because in the psychoanalytical situation patient does not drive his message to the analyst as himself, but to a figure built from his psychic reality. Message is codified in forms and unconscious process. Some concepts as countertransference, projective identification and rêverie suggest the existence of unconscious communicative process. This is a polemic question about localization of the self at the analytical pair and some situations suggest an unconscious exchange of selves parts. The aim of this work was investigate the application of these concepts at the research of spiritual healing practices, because in these contexts there are situations which suggests the existence of nonconscious communication phenomenon. As methodological strategy was adopted the participate-research realized in spiritism and umbanda´s centers localized in the city of Ribeirão Preto-SP. Also were realized psychotherapeutic consults, both in the religious centers and in private consulting room Data were analyzed using concepts of countertranference, projective identification, transitional phenomenon and contributions of fundamental psychopathology. For the results, we took into account the experience of the researcher in the two centers to compare the data. In both centers were observed relevant situations for the research. At both centers the researcher took care which many number of examples of mediumistic communication. Data show that bodily sensations are a key element in psychic communication. The physical sensations are constituted as signs of recognition of the presence of spirits and also contribute to the communicative process within the group of participants in worship. Interaction between patients, mediums and incorporated spirits evokes images that are important for the spiritual healing. Comparing psychological and spiritual consults, data show that is possible to use psychoanalysis to built non-reductive theoretical models useful for ritual research. Were defined two theoretical models. One was called sensorial communicative circuit and it is referent to the sensorial communicative process. The other was called dream way and its referent to the processes that involves words and pictograms. These models were inspired in psychoanalytical concepts and can be to interpret situations presents in psychotherapy and the study of healing rites.

Resumo: Este estudo objetivou apontar a presença de empatia dos cantores com o regente durante a execução musical, através da identificação de episódios de empatia em filmagens de ensaios corais. A empatia, nesta pesquisa, denomina o fenômeno em que o cantor, ao olhar com atenção o regente fazendo movimentos durante a execução musical, realiza de forma inconsciente os mesmos movimentos. Dividiu-se a revisão de literatura em duas partes. Na primeira, buscou-se compreender o processo de empatia entre duas pessoas: como acontece, porque acontece e que fatores o afetam. Na segunda, transferiu-se o foco da pesquisa para as condições características das atividades de regentes e cantores durante a execução musical, de forma a identificar fatores que propiciam a empatia dos cantores com o regente. A seção intermediária tratou da metodologia e dos procedimentos utilizados para o preparo da filmagem dos dois corais participantes. Os resultados da análise dos movimentos corporais e faciais dos cantores em relação aos movimentos do regente deram origem à seção seguinte. Como corolário desses resultados, o trabalho se encerra com as considerações possíveis a respeito da empatia observada dos cantores com o regente, fazendo uma síntese das informações colhidas sobre empatia e aplicando-as ao contexto da execução musical no ensaio coral.
Abstract: The objective of this study is to point out the existence of singer empathy for the conductor during musical performance, identifying episodes of empathy in video recordings of choir rehearsals. Empathy, for the purposes of this study, is a phenomenon in which the singer, while looking attentively at the movements of the conductor during musical execution, makes the same movements unconsciously. Literature research was divided into two parts. In the first, an attempt was made to understand the empathy process between two people: how it happens, why it happens, and which factors affect it. After that, the research focused on characteristic conditions in the activities of conductors and singers during musical execution, in order to identify factors that may promote empathy between singer and conductor. A further section detailed the methodology and the procedures used to prepare the video recordings of the two choirs that took part in the study. The results from the analysis of corporal and facial movements of the singers and the conductors originated the next section, the discussion. As a corollary of the results, this study concludes with possible considerations about the empathy observed between singers and conductor, presenting a synthesis of the information obtained about empathy, and applying this information to the context of musical performance in choir rehearsal.

Full textAbstract:
Depressão é um transtorno de humor de alta prevalência e repercussões negativas para o indivíduo do ponto de vista físico, psicológico e social. Entre os múltiplos aspectos da doença ainda pouco investigados está o comportamento expressivo não-verbal que pode indicar emoções, pensamentos e intenções automáticos que ocasionam problemas interpessoais e piora da depressão. O objetivo desta tese foi investigar o papel da comunicação não-verbal como parâmetro para avaliar características diagnósticas, prognósticas e de melhora clínica da depressão. Para tanto, foram usadas técnicas etológicas para observação de: 1) indicadores não-verbais de pacientes deprimidos (em associação com medidas clínicas e neuropsicológicas); e 2) fatores comportamentais de envolvimento não-verbal de pacientes e do entrevistador. A tese foi dividida em duas partes. Na Parte I apresentam-se estudos que enfocam o comportamento de pacientes deprimidos (n=40) submetidos a três diferentes condições de tratamento com Estimulação Elétrica Transcraniana de Corrente Contínua (ETCC). Pacientes foram avaliados no pré (T0) e pós-tratamento (T1) por meio de escalas para mensuração de sintomas depressivos (medidas clínicas); bateria de testes neuropsicológicos; e entrevistas filmadas. A análise das filmagens foi feita com catálogo de registro de frequência de comportamentos nãoverbais de pacientes (etograma), desenvolvido por nosso grupo de pesquisa. Encontramos que silêncio dos pacientes e menos movimentos expressivos faciais e de cabeça relacionam-se a maior intensidade da depressão, sendo que silêncio em T0 prediz pior prognóstico em T1. Mediante melhora clínica, indicadores de emoções negativas decrescem (ex. choro, testa franzida) enquanto de interesse interpessoal aumentam (ex. contato ocular, yes-nooding). Pacientes também apresentam alterações em funções mnêmicas de longo prazo, atencionais e executivas. Mediante melhora clínica, o desempenho aumenta nas tarefas executivas e atencionais. Melhor performance em tarefa de atenção focada em T0, entretanto, associou-se a menos afetos positivos em T1. Os resultados indicam que a depressão compromete o funcionamento afetivo, cognitivo e expressivo dos pacientes e que indicadores não-verbais apresentam padrão mais consistente de associação com medidas clínicas do que variáveis neuropsicológicas. Na Parte II, apresentam-se estudos que enfocam a interação de pacientes deprimidos (n=38) com seu entrevistador (n=1). Pacientes foram submetidos a tratamento medicamentoso e avaliados no pré (T0) e pós-tratamento (T1) por meio de medidas clínicas e entrevistas filmadas. A análise das filmagens foi feita com um etograma de registro de frequência e duração de comportamentos de pacientes e do entrevistador. Encontramos que comportamentos nãoverbais de envolvimento de pacientes (fator Esforço Comunicativo, EC) e do entrevistador (fator Encorajamento, EN) estão associados e aumentam ao longo da interação. O ajuste (convergência) entre EC e EN ao longo da entrevista associa-se com satisfação dos pacientes. EC em T0 prediz redução de afetos negativos em T1 e, após melhora clínica, EC e EN aumentam. Portanto, o comportamento de busca por suporte social associa-se a maior apoio do entrevistador e este aumento de envolvimento pode indicar melhora clínica. O conjunto de achados sugere que a comunicação não-verbal, avaliada com técnicas etológicas, transmite informações relevantes associadas à gravidade, melhora clínica e prognóstico da depressãoDepression is a highly prevalent mood disorder bearing negative consequences for individuals in physical, psychological and social domains. Among the many aspects of the disease which remain poorly understood, the expressive nonverbal behavior of sufferers is an important example: it has been highlighted as an indicator of emotions, automatic thoughts and intentions which can lead to interpersonal problems and worsening of depression. The aim of this thesis is to investigate the role of such nonverbal communication in the evaluation of depression diagnosis, prognosis and clinical response. To this end, we conducted an ethological observation where we analyzed: 1) non-verbal indicators of depressed patients (in combination with clinical and neuropsychological measures), and 2) behavioral factors of nonverbal involvement of patients and their interviewers. This thesis is divided in two parts. Part I presents studies focused on the behavior of patients (n=40) treated with different types of Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS). Patients are evaluated before (T0) and after treatment (T1) through clinical scales for the assessment of depressive symptoms, neuropsychological tests, and the analysis of videotaped interviews. The analysis of interviews is based on an ethogram developed by our research group, wherein the frequencies of nonverbal behaviors of patients are registered. We found that silence, as well as low levels of expressive facial and head movements were related to higher depression severity. Silence at T0 also predicted poor prognosis at T1. There was a decrease in the frequency of indicators of negative emotions (e.g. crying, frowning) and increase in pro-social indicators (e.g. eyes contact, yes-nooding) upon clinical improvement. Patients also showed alterations in long-term memory, attention and executive functions. Their performance increased in executive and attentional tasks, upon clinical improvement. However, a better performance in the focused attention task at T0 was associated with less positive affect at T1. The results indicate that depression affects the patients emotional, cognitive and expressive functioning. In addition, non-verbal indicators showed a more consistent pattern of being associated with clinical measures than with neuropsychological measures. In Part II, we show studies focused on the interaction of depressed patients (n=38) with their interviewer (n=1). Patients treated with psychopharmacotherapy were evaluated before (T0) and after treatment (T1) through clinical scales, and videotaped interviews. Interviews were analyzed through the use of an ethogram which considers frequency and duration of both patients and interviewer behaviors. We found that nonverbal behaviors of involvement of patients (Speaking Effort factor, SE) and their interviewer (Encouragement factor, EN) were correlated and both of them increased during the interaction. The adjustment (convergence) between SE and EN during the interview was associated with patient satisfaction. SE at T0 predicted a reduction of negative affect at T1. Additionally, both factors increased after clinical improvement. Therefore, the support seeking behavior is associated with support giving behavior of the interviewer. The increase of both involvement behaviors may therefore indicate clinical improvement. Taken together, these findings suggest that nonverbal communication, when evaluated by ethological techniques, can convey important information on the severity, prognosis and amenability to clinical improvement of depression

Objective: compare the perceptions of journalists and speech and hearing therapists when analyzing nonverbal communication of subjects declaring in a Congressional Committee of Investigation. Method: it was given a nonverbal communication questionnaire to a sample of 30 journalists and 30 speech and hearing therapists, which 10 of the journalists work on television, 10 of them work at radio station, 10 of them work at writing press, 10 of the speech and hearing therapists work on television, 10 of them work with language and 10 of them work with hearing. It was made statistics and discourse analyzes of a dialogic map of communicative approach. Results: speech and hearing therapists who work on TV analyzed generically with almost no specificity when concerning nonverbal elements as well as the journalists who work on TV. Speech and hearing therapists who work with hearing participated attentively of the research and exceeded when analyzing facial expression. Speech and hearing therapists who work with language let themselves be influenced by the context and content. Journalists who work at radio station paid more attention to the body movements when compared to other journalists, this group exceeded among the other groups. Journalists who work with writing press, as well as the speech and hearing therapists and journalists who work on TV also had a generical view, however, they let themselves be less influenced by the context and content. Final considerations: the analyses show that journalists were more efficient filling out the questionnaire when concerning the objective of this research compared to speech and hearing therapists. They also show that it is impossible to separate nonverbal communication of the speech, questioning the fact that many authors, when considering communication, assure that nonverbal communication is responsible for over 50% of the message. The nonverbal communication was mentioned very little considering that the priority was to analyze it.
Objetivo: comparar as percepções de jornalistas e fonoaudiólogos ao analisar a comunicação não-verbal de sujeitos depondo na Comissão Parlamentar Mista de Inquérito. Método: foi aplicado um protocolo de comunicação não-verbal a uma amostra composta de 30 jornalistas e 30 fonoaudiólogos, sendo que 10 jornalistas trabalham em televisão, 10 em rádio, 10 em mídia escrita, 10 fonoaudiólogos atuam em televisão, 10 atuam na área de linguagem e 10 atuam na área de audiologia. Foi feita uma análise estatística e uma análise do discurso do mapa de recursos comunicativos. Resultados: Fonoaudiólogos que atuam em televisão tiveram uma análise mais genérica com pouquíssima especificidade em relação aos elementos não-verbais, assim como os jornalistas que trabalham em televisão. Fonoaudiólogos que atuam na área de audiologia participaram atentamente da pesquisa e se destacaram ao analisar a expressão facial. Fonoaudiólogos que atuam na área de linguagem deixaram-se influenciar pelo contexto e conteúdo. Jornalistas que trabalham em rádio se atentaram mais para os recursos corporais quando comparado aos outros jornalistas, esse grupo se destacou perante aos outros grupos. Jornalistas que atuam em imprensa escrita, assim como os fonoaudiólogos e jornalistas que atuam em televisão, também tiveram um olhar mais genérico, no entanto, deixaram-se influenciar menos pelo conteúdo e pelo contexto. Considerações finais: Os achados demonstram que jornalistas foram mais fiéis ao objetivo da pesquisa que os fonoaudiólogos. Demonstram também ser impossível dissociar a comunicação não-verbal do discurso, e instiga quanto ao fato de muitos autores, ao considerarem a comunicação, afirmam que a comunicação não-verbal é responsável por mais de 50% da mensagem. A comunicação não-verbal foi pouco mencionada pela amostra.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose – The aim of this paper is to create an understanding of what types of initial contacts exist within the service encounter and their functions for the interaction. Design/methodology/approach – To study the initial contact between the employee and the customer, we have used a qualitative approach where observations were the data collecting method. The observations have been conducted in Karlstad at 22 different locations, which generated a total of 83 observations. These observations were analyzed and generated concepts and categories, that were incorporated into themes. Findings – The research showed five types of initial contacts could be identified along with their functions. The types identified are the time effective, the improvised, the committed, the observant and the strategic positioning. Originality/value – By narrowing the interaction to the first moment, this paper contributes knowledge about the initial contact which will facilitate frontline employees work in the face-to-face interaction with customers. Research limitation/implications for future research – The study is conducted in Karlstad. Depending on which kind of industry examined and contextual factors, variations in the result may occur. The findings could differ if cultural perspectives were considered, which could be something to include in future research. Only the face-to-face interaction is examined. This creates opportunities for future research to extend this study by, for instance, investigate the initial contact over internet or phone.

El objetivo de nuestra investigación es demostrar la importancia de incluir en el comentario de texto tradicional el análisis paralingüístico y los sistemas comunicativos no verbales. Hemos realizado nuestra investigación a tres niveles. En el primer nivel, hemos desarrollado un Modelo Semiótico de Transcrpición del Paralenguaje en Literatura y lo hemos aplicado a la obra teatral La Celestina. De forma gráfica y panorámica, hemos recogido toda la información sobre las categorías paralingüísticas y los sistemas comunicativos no verbales. En el segundo nivel, hemos extraído del texto de La Celestina una muestra representativa de cada categoría paralingüística. Hemos identificado los recursos paralingüísticos utilizados por el autor y los sistemas comunicativos no verbales presentes en el texto. A partir de esta información, hemos clasificado, analizado e interpretado los sonidos paralingüísticos emitidos por el personaje. En el tercer nivel, tomamos como punto de partida el análisis de texto tradicional y realizamos dos casos prácticos de análisis de textos literarios. Nuestros comentarios de textos añaden un apartado más al comentario de texto tradicional: el análisis e interpretación de los sonidos paralingüísticos presentes en el texto y los sistemas comunicativos no verbales.The aim of this research is to demonstrate the importance of including paralinguistic analysis and non-verbal communication systems in traditional text commentary. We have undertaken this research at three levels. At the first level, we have developed a Semiotic transcription model of Paralanguage in Literature and we have applied it to the play Celestine. In a graphic and panoramic way, we have brought together all the information about paralinguistic categories and non-verbal communicative systems. At the second level, we have extracted from the text of Celestine a representative sample of each paralinguistic category. We have identified the paralinguistic resources employed by the author and the non-verbal communicative systems present in the text. Using this information as a point of departure, we have classified, analysed and interpreted the paralinguistic sounds emmited by the character. At the thid level, we take as a starting point the analysis of traditional texts and we undertake two practical cases of analysis of literary texts. Our text commentaries add a further section to the commentary on traditional text: the analysis and interpretation of paralinguistic sounds present in the text and non-verbal communication.

Resumo: Este estudo, que tem como referencial teórico a Neurolinguística de orientação enunciativo-discursiva, tematiza a produção de sujeitos com afasias não-fluentes de grau severo, buscando refletir sobre suas possibilidades narrativas e sobre o papel dos recursos não-verbais para que consigam alcançar seu intuito discursivo ou "querer-dizer" (cf. Bakhtin, 1997). O acompanhamento longitudinal foi escolhido como metodologia de pesquisa e as análises são qualitativas. Além de discutir criticamente conceitos relacionados à noção de fluência e sobre o papel dos recursos alternativos de significação, o trabalho visa i) descrever as características dos enunciados de dois sujeitos não-fluentes - GS e TR - dentre os quais aqueles considerados "estereotipias"ou "automatismos". Esses recursos repetem-se na cadeia enunciativa - podendo ser lexicalizados ou não, mas sempre veiculam um "querer-dizer", preenchendo turnos conversacionais nas interações dialógicas e, ao mesmo tempo, dando "acabamentos" aos enunciados dos seus interlocutores; ii) refletir sobre as possibilidades de significação a partir do trabalho desenvolvido com recursos não-verbais (gestos, desenhos, expressões fisionômicas), tendo a narrativa como principal gênero discursivo (tanto autobiográficas quanto relatos de fatos) na qual emergem enunciados que dão visibilidade ao impacto da afasia na linguagem dos sujeitos - servindo, portanto, para a avaliação de linguagem - quanto para a sua reorganização; em outras palavras, para orientar a terapia de linguagem; iii) discutir o papel dos interlocutores - os parceiros da comunicação (cf. Bakhtin), dentre os quais o terapeuta e familiares, no processo de desenvolvimento dos recursos alternativos não-verbais de significação, tendo em vista minha formação e prática no campo da Fonoaudiologia
Abstract: This study, which has the discursive-enunciative Neurolinguistics as theoretical framework, discusses the speech production of individuals with severe nonfluent aphasia, aiming to reflect about their narrative possibilities and about the role of nonverbal resources which they explore in order to achieve their "speech will" (Bakhtin, 1997). Longitudinal follow-up was chosen as the research methodology and analyzes are of qualitative nature. Besides critically discussing concepts related to the notion of fluency and the role of alternative sources of signification, the work aims to i) describe the features of the utterances of two non- fluent subjects - GS and TR - among those the ones so-called stereotypes or automatisms. These features are repeated in the enunciative chains - being sometimes lexicalized, sometimes not, but they always convey a "speech will", filling shifts in conversational and dialogic interactions, having also the role of giving finalization to their interlocutors' utterances; ii) reflect about the possibilities of meaning from the work developed with nonverbal resources (gestures, drawings, physiognomic expressions), having the narrative as the main discourse genre (autobiographical as well as narrative of events) in which emerge utterances that give visibility to the impact of aphasia on the individual's language - which can be useful both for evaluation purposes and for its reorganization. In other words, to guide language therapy; iii) discuss the role of the interlocutors - communication partners (Bakhtin, 1997), among which the therapist and family members, in the development of alternative nonverbal processes, considering my academic background and practice in the field of speech therapy

O contato ocular entre o bebê e sua mãe é uma das manifestações iniciais da comunicação interpessoal e sua ausência é um indicador de risco para o desenvolvimento. Para auxiliar na compreensão do desenvolvimento inicial do contato ocular, visando perspectivas clínicas e preventivas, foi realizado acompanhamento longitudinal naturalístico de bebês entre zero e quatro meses de idade. Foram sujeitos desta pesquisa 17 bebês saudáveis com idades entre zero e quatro meses de idade. Após os procedimentos éticos pertinentes, cada sujeito recebeu cinco visitas domiciliares, ocorridas na segunda quinzena de cada mês de vida, nas quais foram realizadas videogravações das díades mãe-bebê por 30 minutos, englobando situações cotidianas de interação e cuidados. As atividades observadas foram classificadas segundo seu caráter. As videogravações foram assistidas em intervalos de 30 segundos e foram transcritos em protocolo apropriado os estados do bebê (seis estados) e as categorias de observação do olhar (doze categorias determinadas para esta pesquisa). Os dados foram contabilizados por software específico e submetidos à análise estatística. O estado de alerta foi o que mais forneceu subsídios para a análise do comportamento visual dos bebês. Em alerta, os sujeitos apresentaram, ao longo dos primeiros meses de seu desenvolvimento, diferenças estatisticamente significantes nas freqüências de oito das categorias de observação do olhar: "olhar para os olhos da mãe", "olhar para o rosto da mãe", "olhar para objeto(s)", "olhar para a pesquisadora", "olhar para o ambiente de forma ativa", "olhar para o ambiente de forma passiva", "olhar para o próprio corpo" e "olhos fechados". Houve correlação positiva entre "olhar para os olhos da mãe" e "olhar para o rosto da mãe" em 80% dos momentos pesquisados. O contato ocular entre o bebê e sua mãe pode ser detectado já no período neonatal, apresentando aumento estatisticamente significante de freqüência até o quarto mês de vida. Existem outras categorias de observação do olhar fundamentais no início do desenvolvimento de bebês, que indicam o aumento da freqüência do olhar ativo dirigido a outros elementos da cena, além da mãe. O estudo traz novos dados sobre o desenvolvimento do contato ocular nos primeiros meses de vida.The eye contact between the infant and his/her mother is one of the first manifestations of interpersonal communication and its absence is an inidicator of risk for the infant's development. A naturalistic longitudinal study with infants between zero and four months of age can help the understanding of the initial development of the eye contact, aiming clinical and preventive perspectives. Seventeen healthy infants aged between zero and four months were the subjects of this research. After the ethic procedures, each subject received five home visits, which happened in the second fortnight of every month of life. Mothers and infants were video taped during these visits for 30 minutes in their daily routines of interaction and care. The observed activities were classified. These video tapes were watched in intervals of 30 seconds. The states of the babies (six states) and the categories of the observation of the gaze (twelve categories determined to this research) were transcribed in appropriate protocol. The data were registered on an specific software and submitted to statistical analysis of the infants visual behavior. In alertness, the subjects presented, along the first months of their development, statistically significant differences in the frequency of the eight categories of gaze observation: look to mothers eyes, look to mothers face, look to object(s), look to the researcher, actively looking to the environment, passively looking to the environment, look to his/her own body and eyes closed. There was a positive correlation between the look mothers eyes and look to mothers face in 80% of the researched moments. The eye contact of the infant and his/her mother can already be detected in the neonatal period, showing gradual frequency increase until the fourth month of life. There are other categories of the gaze that are fundamental in the beginning of the infants development and indicate the increase of frequency in the active look directed to other elements of the scene besides the mother. The study presents new data about the development of the eye contact in the first months of life.

Full textAbstract:
La thèse porte sur la communication olfactive impliquant les individus, en position d’interactants, lors de situations de communication de « face-à-face ». Nous pensons que porter un parfum est une forme d’intention communicative sur ce que le sujet parfumé communicant aspire à être. Dans le champ des sciences de l’information et de la communication, la communication olfactive est étudiée dans un contexte théorique mobilisant des ressources issues de l’interactionnisme et de l’ethnométhodologie.Se parfumer, apparaissant comme une envie de communiquer sur son soi, nous essayons de mieux comprendre les processus de construction identitaire en articulation avec le soi. Cependant, comme l’odorat est un sens très intimiste, se référant notamment aux expériences olfactives passées, la qualité d’un parfum est une donnée très subjective. C’est pourquoi, sur le plan méthodologique, nous avons construit un protocole, axé sur la notion d’interaction (Goffman), afin de manipuler différents contextes d’échanges. L’objectif est de mieux comprendre quel rôle le parfum joue dans diverses situations de communication interpersonnelle.Une enquête qualitative a été menée sur 35 sujets, issus deux pays voisins, la Suisse et la France. Chaque interview en profondeur est basée sur un test projectif où le sujet est amené à construire la représentation d’un individu communiquant en fonction d’une senteur. Les résultats montrent que ne pouvant nous « réapproprier » la perception de l’autre, nous sommes contraints d’inférer, à partir de son comportement et de notre propre expérience, ce qu’il ressent. Le sujet infère des informations qu’il juge adéquates et pertinentes sur l’autre en se basant sur son vécu expérientiel en lien avec le parfum qu’il sent : l’odeur devient un dispositif d’information qui véhicule des données précédemment encodées. L’individu parfumé est alors un dispositif communicationnel exposé au nez de l’interactant. Ce dernier, récepteur de la communication olfactive, infère les intentions communicatives de l’individu parfumé à partir de l’odeur qu’il perçoit. L’odeur est un « marqueur moral » (Le Breton, 2006), révélatrice de ce que nous sommes intrinsèquement, en tant qu’individu, la bonté sent bon, tout ce qui est de l’ordre du malsain « empeste ». La thèse montre qu’hommes et femmes n’ont pas les mêmes impressions olfactives à propos des mêmes parfums, qu’il existe des formes de corrélations olfactives en termes d’imaginaire d’un individu à un autre, indépendamment de l’âge et du pays d’origine. Conduisant à construire une identité sociale, certains parfums inspirent plus de sympathie, voire de naïveté que d’autres. A l’inverse, certains provoquent du mépris et même du dégoûtThe thesis focuses on olfactory communication involving individuals in position of interactants during "face to face" communication situations. I believe that wearing a fragrance is one form of communicative intent on what the communicating subject aspires to be. In the field of information and communication sciences, olfactory communication is studied in a theoretical context which mobilises resources from interactionism and ethnomethodology. Since wearing perfume appears to be a desire to communicate about our self, I try to understand better the processes of identity construction in conjunction with the self. However as the sense of smell is very intimate, for instance it refers to past olfactory experiences, the quality of a fragrance is a very subjective data. Therefore, my methodology was built according to a protocol based on the concept of interaction (Goffman) in order to handle different contexts of exchanges. The aim is to understand better what role scent plays in various situations of interpersonal communication.A qualitative survey was conducted on 35 subjects from two neighboring countries, Switzerland and France. Each in-depth interview is based on a projective test for which the subject is required to build a representation of a communicating individual according to a scent. The results show that since we cannot "reclaim" the perception of the other, we are forced to infer what he feels according to their behavior and our own experience. The subject infers information on the other he deems appropriate and relevant, based on his experiential background in relation with the perfume he smells: the odor becomes an information device that conveys previously encoded data. The perfumed individual is therefore a communicative device exposed to the nose of the interactant. The latter, receiving olfactory communication, infers the communicative intentions of the fragranced individual from the smell he perceives. The odor is a "moral marker" (Le Breton, 2006), revealing who we truly are as an individual, kindness smells good, everything dodgy "stinks." The thesis shows that men and women have different olfactory impressions about the same scents, that there are forms of correlations in terms of olfactory imagination from one individual to another, regardless of how old they are and where they come from. Some perfumes inspire more sympathy or even more ingenuousness than others in order to lead us towards building a social identity. However, others on the contrary can cause contempt and even disgust

O presente estudo teve como principal objetivo investigar a comunicação verbal e não-verbal na interação educadora-bebê, nos primeiros dois anos de vida. Participaram da pesquisa 4 bebês, com idades entre 5 e 14 meses, que freqüentam o berçário de uma Escola de Educação Infantil e a educadora responsável pelo atendimento a esta turma. Foi realizado um estudo observacional (filmagem) em dois contextos de interação: diádico (troca de fraldas) e grupal (sala de aula), em uma instituição de ensino particular, localizada em um bairro de nível socioeconômico médio-alto, na cidade de Porto Alegre. Os filmes foram transcritos e pontuados conforme protocolos construídos para este estudo. A análise das descrições gerou três principais categorias de comportamento das crianças (choro, exploração/jogo social e conflito/disputa por atenção). Do ponto de vista da educadora, foram observados comportamentos verbais distribuídos em quatro categorias: Perguntas, Comentários, Comandos e Outros Comportamentos verbais. Os comportamentos não verbais foram classificados em três tipos gerais: Contato Físico, Relação com Objetos e Ausência de Interação. Os dados deste estudo sugerem que o papel da educadora do berçário envolve a capacidade de acolher demandas de crianças que ainda não têm condições de verbalizar, mas que, através de suas atitudes, indicam suas necessidades. Sendo assim, além de realizar atividades mais voltadas ao cuidado e assistência, desenvolver as potencialidades cognitivas e físicas do bebê, o trabalho com bebês também envolve atenção especial às necessidades emocionais da criança. Os resultados deste estudo sugerem que mesmo antes da emergência da linguagem, a criança desenvolve, nos primeiros dois anos de vida, uma incrível capacidade comunicativa. Estas interações iniciais com o ambiente já configuram formas simbólicas de expressão que não se restringem à fala, mas são formas não verbais de comunicação. Seu desenvolvimento depende da capacidade dos cuidadores de perceber e traduzir estas diferentes formas de linguagem.The present study aimed to investigate the verbal and nonverbal communication in the educator-infant interaction, in the first two years of life. Four infants, aged 5, 9, 13 and 14 months, took part in the study, as well as the educator responsible for the class. The infants were enrolled in a private education institution, located in a medium-high class neighborhood, in the city of Porto Alegre. An observational study was conducted with both the children and the teacher being filmed in two interactive contexts: dyadic and group. The videos were coded by two independent coders based on the child´s and teacher´s behaviours. Three main child´s categories were generated: crying, exploration/play and conflict/dispute of attention. The teacher´s verbal categories were: questions, commentaries, commands and other verbal behaviours. The nonverbal behaviours were: physical contact, relations with objects and absence of interaction. The analysis of the observations also showed a rich spectrum of verbal and nonverbal behaviors, on the part of the educator, associated to the child's basic needs. Even the most operational activities (feeding, changing diapers, containing, etc) were taken by the educator as an educational moment, since they were constantly accompanied by dialogues, conversations, descriptions, comments or questions. The results of this study suggest that even before the emergency of language, the child shows, in their first two years of life, an incredible communicative capacity. These initial interactions with the environment already represent symbolic forms of expression which are not limited to the speech, but are forms of nonverbal communication. His/her development depends on the caretaker’s capacity to notice and translate these different language forms.

nÃo hÃA captaÃÃo da comunicaÃÃo cinÃsica de recÃm-nascidos (RNs) internados em Unidades Neonatais (UNs) à necessÃria para um cuidado pautado na humanizaÃÃo. Objetivou-se avaliar a comunicaÃÃo cinÃsica dos RNs em uma UN, relacionada ao manuseio dos profissionais de saÃde e ruÃdos produzidos na Unidade, segundo Birdwhistell (1985). Estudo exploratÃrio-descritivo de carÃter quantitativo, realizado em UN de hospital pÃblico de Fortaleza. A amostra foi composta de 20 RNs, no perÃodo de julho a setembro de 2010. Na primeira fase da coleta, analisaram-se prontuÃrios. Na segunda, filmaram-se os RNs, por seis horas distribuÃdas na manhÃ, tarde e noite. Os achados revelaram que a maioria dos RNs tinha entre 30,1 e 34 semanas gestacionais, 4 a 15 dias de vida, nasceram com peso entre 1.000g-1.499g, sexo masculino; apresentaram diagnÃstico de prematuridade e foram reanimados com O2 inalatÃrio. A principal fonte de ruÃdo em todos os turnos do dia foi lixeira, mÃdia de 84,5 vezes pela manhÃ, 86 à tarde e 78,9 à noite. A bomba de infusÃo apresentou maior mÃdia de tempo de ruÃdo pela manhà e noite (14,4 e 16,1 minutos, respectivamente); e a incubadora à tarde (36,1 minutos). O manuseio mais realizado, em mÃdia, em todos os turnos foi a organizaÃÃo: manhà â 2,7 vezes; tarde â 3,1 e noite â 2,4. A organizaÃÃo somou maior tempo de realizaÃÃo, em mÃdia, pela manhà (12,1 minutos); à tarde prevaleceu a troca de fralda (10,6 minutos); e à noite a dieta (7 minutos). Antes da pancada, a comunicaÃÃo cinÃsica mais adotada pelo RN foi o movimento de flexÃo (230), durante, foi o sobressalto (48) e depois, novamente o movimento de flexÃo (276). A correlaÃÃo estatisticamente significante entre o tipo de comunicaÃÃo cinÃsica e as caracterÃsticas do perfil do RN foi constatada: o ruÃdo da lixeira produziu relaÃÃo inversa entre o sobressalto e a Idade Gestacional (p=0,024, r=-0,871), o peso de nascimento (p=0,024, r=-0,871) e o de avaliaÃÃo (p=0,024, r=-0,871). Antes, durante e depois do manuseio da sonda orogÃstrica, o movimento de flexÃo foi mais presente, com os seguintes valores, respectivamente: 36 vezes, 169 vezes, 44 vezes. Igualmente, o movimento de flexÃo prevaleceu antes, durante e depois da administraÃÃo da dieta, com os seguintes valores, respectivamente: 15 vezes, 149, 15. A correlaÃÃo estatisticamente significante ocorreu diante da administraÃÃo da dieta entre a comunicaÃÃo cinÃsica e o perfil do RN: manhà â o movimento de flexÃo foi mais observado em RNs com maior Idade CronolÃgica (p=0,034, r=0,744); à tarde â o movimento de sucÃÃo foi mais observado em RNs com maior Idade CronolÃgica (p=0,023, r=0,822) e o peso durante a avaliaÃÃo (p=0,049, r=0,757); à noite â o movimento de sobressalto foi mais captado em RNs com maior Idade Gestacional (p=0,002, r=-0,998) e CronolÃgica (p=0,047, r=0,760). Seguindo-se essa linha de raciocÃnio todos os ruÃdos e manuseios captados foram avaliados quanto aos mesmos fatores descritos acima. Concluiu-se que o recÃm-nascido, por meio da comunicaÃÃo cinÃsica revelada por sinais como a expressÃo facial, a movimentaÃÃo corporal, o choro e o estado de consciÃncia e de atividade, exprime suas emoÃÃes e comunica o que està sentindo.
The kinesics capture of newborns admitted to Neonatal Units (NUs) is necessary for a care based on humanization. The objective was to assess the kinesics of newborns in a NU, related to the handling of health professionals and noise produced in the Unit, according to Birdwhistell (1985). Descriptive exploratory study of quantitative approach carried out at NU in a public hospital of Fortaleza-CE, Brazil. The sample consisted of 20 newborns who were daily filmed from July to September 2010. In the first phase of data collection medical records were analyzed, in the second the newborns were filmed six hours a day, divided in the morning, afternoon and evening. The results revealed that most of the newborns were between 30.1 and 34 gestational weeks, 4 to 15 days old, were born weighing between 1,000g and 1,499g, male, with a diagnosis of prematurity and were resuscitated with O2 inhalation. The main source of noise in all day shifts was the trash can, an average of 84.5 times in the morning, 86 in the afternoon and 78.9 in the evening. The infusion pump presented a higher average length of noise in the morning and evening (14.4 and 16.1 minutes, respectively), and the incubator in the evening (36.1 minutes). The handling most performed in average on every shift was the organization: morning, 2.7 times; afternoon, 3.1 and evening, 2.4. The organization added more time of performance, on average, in the morning (12.1 minutes); in the afternoon prevailed diaper change (10.6 minutes) and in the evening diet (7 minutes). Before the hit the kinesics most adopted by the newborn was the flexion motion (230), during was the shock (48) and after the flexion motion again (276). A statistically significant correlation between the type of kinesics and the profile characteristics of the newborn was verified: the noise of the trash can produced an inverse relation between the hit and gestational age (p=0.024, r=-0.871), birth weight (p=0.024, r=-0.871) and assessment weight (p=0.024, r=-0.871). Before, during and after handling the orogastric probe, the flexion motion was more present, with the following values, respectively: 36 times, 169 times, 44 times. Also, the flexion motion prevailed before, during and after diet administration with the following values, respectively, 15 times, 149, 15. A statistically significant correlation occurred with the diet administration between the kinesics and the newborn profile: morning - the flexion motion was more observed in newborns with oldest chronological age (p=0.034, r=0.744); afternoon - the suction movement was more observed in newborns with oldest chronological age (p=0.023, r=0.822) and weight during the evaluation (p=0.049, r=0.757); evening - the shock movement was more detected in newborns with oldest gestational (p=0.002, r=-0.998) and chronological age (p=0.047, r=0.760). Following this line of thought all the noise and handling captured were assessed concerning the same factors described above. It was concluded that the newborn, through kinesics reveals by signs like facial expression, body movements, crying and state of consciousness and activity, expresses his emotions and communicates how he feels.
