Stella has just arrived for a job interview and has put on her best business suit (1) and fixed her hair and make-up conservatively (2). As she sits down with the interviewer, she does her best to smile (3) and hide her nervousness (4), but one of her legs begins to bounce up and down unconsciously (5). She does her best to look the interviewer in the eye (6), she nods frequently to show she understands (7), and shakes the interviewer’s hand (8) as she gets up to leave. Which eight elements of nonverbal communication has Stella displayed?
- eye contact - facial expressions - she smiles at the interviewer - body movements - nervous shaking, nodding her head - posture - it doesn't say but its inferred she is sitting in a presentable way - physiological changes - she gets nervous Shaking the interviewer's hand is a notable action but I'm not sure which element it fits under, dressing up nicely to present herself is also important.
