1OBSERVATION OF VERBAL AND NON VERBAL BEHAVIOUR
Introduction:
We share our beliefs and our ideas by communicating with each other. From the
ancient period of time, the process of communication has changed a lot, or else can be said
evolved through time. At that time period men and women used to speak non – verbally, then
with the passing time human race got hold of the verbal communication. Nowadays, we use
both verbal and nonverbal communicative methods to speak and share our thought processes.
Here, the study will be analysing the processes of verbal and non-verbal communicative
approaches between men and women and the social engagement the processes are effecting
between the genders.
Discussion:
The way of communication has been changed a lot in course of time. It is also
observed that the way men and women communicate between each other has not changed
much. In the time of globalizing world, the beginning of the diverse workplaces have
experiences in the communicative approaches between men and women (Patterson, 2018).
This study will put forward the differences between the verbal and nonverbal communicative
ways between men and women in terms of interaction, workplace and gendered
communication and culture aspects.
Dimensions of Culture, Communication and Gender –The verbal and nonverbal
communication is deeply enrooted with the cultural and gendered perspectives. The issues
related with the aspect is connected with the different upbringing of genders in every
different cultural ways. However, the treatment of different genders from their earlier days
are resulted mainly in forming the shape of communication (Samovar et al., 2015). Some of
the general differences between verbal communication of men and women are like men in
general speak louder and in a deeper pitched voice than women, whereas women speak more

quickly and less directly about the discussion than men. There are some basic differences that
distinguish cultural and gendered dimensions between men and women.
Gendered Verbal and Non Verbal Communication in Public Setting –Masculine and
feminine communication styles in a nonverbal communicative approach reflects effective
cultural values. Therefore, in many aspectsnonverbal communication effects in
misinterpretation of the approaches, researchers found out that the relationship between
gender and communication is very much confusing in many cases. Researches have shown
that men perceive a woman less confident in some point of views related to making a
statement, whereas women in general find men as insensitive, domineering by making less
response to their talks and keep themselves busy promoting their own agendas. (Bonaccio et
al., 2016). In case of the non-verbal expressions, the facial expressions will say it all in the
public settings. Women generally rely on the facial expressions much more than men. Men
also do not smile as much as women. They tend to keep calm and quiet. Two biggest
weapons for women in case of nonverbal expressions are the nodding of the head and eye
contact. The public setting can be in a shopping mall. Here women would always want to go
for shopping in different outlets through eye expression and other facial expressions. Men
will use head nodding or use their eye to show if they are interested to go or not.
Comparison and Contrast between Communications –As in the thinking styles,
processing of ideas and talking in different ways suggests the idea that men and women are
from different planets. Though it is just a funny observation, but in some aspects that is true
to the point. The male voice is judged as a dynamic, aggressive and stronger voice than
female voice, whereas the female voice are considered as more aesthetic than the male
counterparts (Patterson, 2018). However, it is suggested that the communication between
genders are more mixed than having differences, though some of the typical differences are
identified but the communicative approaches are more or less same in some aspects.
