ctor Jim Carey’s ability to contort his face as an example.
Jim Carey moving his face is so weird. Like in the grinch how his smile was pretty much real. It can be hard figuring out what facial expressions are real from people or are just faked. Some people are able to move their faces and are in control of it, while. others have no idea what faces they are making while they talk.
speak faster than others, which is fine, but we can all alter our rate of speaking with practice. If you find that you are a naturally fast speaker, make sure that you do not “speed talk” through your speech when practicing it.
When I presented in the past, I sound robotic and almost like I am rapping. I speak very quickly and it can be bad when I am trying to give messages to others. This is a natural thing for mw to do, as I can never really talk slow.
Content and delivery are spontaneous, which can make the speech more engaging (if a speaker’s anxiety is under control).
I would like to deliver my speeches in a more spontaneous way, but like it says, if the anxiety is under control. Why I give speeches I tend to sound very robotic and weird. If I get my anxiety down, it would be much better.
pressure to get more energy to the brain, organs, and muscles in order to respond to the threat. We can be thankful for this evolutionary advantage, but our physiology hasn’t caught up with our new ways of life. Our body doesn’t distinguish between the causes of stressful situations, so facing down an audience releases the same hormones as facing down a wild beast.
When I present in front of anybody, I get very hot and nervous. My body can't tell the difference between presenting and being chased by something big and scary. Its weird how adrenaline works, and how our bodies sometimes can't pick out the difference between a presentation and being chased.
influences our realities, but even people who speak the same language experience cultural differences because of their various intersecting cultural identities and personal experiences. We have a tendency to view our language as a whole more favorably than other languages.
I see a lot of people who have strong biases towards their own language and cultures. When you understand something and have grow up with it your entire life, you are much more bias to that unlike something that is different. I know since I only know English, I get flustered when others speak in different languages because I cannot understand them.
The level of clarity with which we speak varies depending on whom we talk to, the situation we’re in, and our own intentions and motives. We sometimes make a deliberate effort to speak as clearly as possible.
This is true. When I speak to my friends casually I tend to not annunciate my words as well. But when I am speaking to new people or trying to get an important message across, I will speak much more clearly hoping that they understand what I am saying. If I want something, I tend to speak differently to try and higher my chances or actually obtaining it.
Expressing feelings can be uncomfortable for those listening. Some people are generally not good at or comfortable with receiving and processing other people’s feelings. Even those with good empathetic listening skills can be positively or negatively affected by others’ emotions.
My dad is a very empathetic person, so talking to him about certain things is sometimes very difficult. If I am ever upset, he will instantly take on my role of sadness because he doesn't like it when I am sad. Or sometimes if I should feelings of sadness and he just wants to fix the issues, he gets grumpy.
encoding and decoding, that meaning is generated as sensory information is interpreted. The indirect and sometimes complicated relationship between language and meaning can lead to confusion, frustration, or even humor.
With communication, sometimes the message I try to give is misinterpreted by the other person. There has been times where I say one word or phrase, and my friend will completely misunderstand and think that I just said something completely different. And it only gets harder over text, at least in person I can see then speak and ask more questions but in text there is even typos and that makes it even worse.
will be said, an outline includes the main content. Therefore you shouldn’t include every word you’re going to say on your outline. This allows you more freedom as a speaker to adapt to your audience during your speech.
This is very important and I've always thought about this method. In my sophomore speech class my teacher spoke about this and it has stuck with me ever since. If you have too much of a script, you'll sound very robotic and not be able to have a lot of freedom with what it is you're talking about. I know when I have too much written down on my notecards I tend to lean on them too much and not allow myself to have any freedom on my speech.
One of the key elements of academic and professional public speaking is verbally citing your supporting materials so your audience can evaluate your credibility and the credibility of your sources.
Having evidence in anything to back you up will always be beneficial. If you have credible evidence backing you up, you can't technically be wrong. I know in my English class last year my teacher always repeated how important evidence is because it meant he could never really be that wrong. So now whenever I make an argument I always try to have an advantage by having some credibility.
debate content. While this is an important contribution to society, Wikipedia is not considered a scholarly or credible source.
A lot of people in my classes growing up would try and use wikipedia and get told off, so I think this is important. Wikipedia is not that credible since anyone can update the information in it. I still often times find myself on a wikipedia and then I have to leave the website to find something more credible.
Audience analysis is key for a speaker to achieve his or her speech goal. One of the first questions you should ask yourself is “Who is my audience?” While there are some generalizations you can make about an audience, a competent speaker always assumes there is a diversity of opinion and background among his or her listeners. You can’t assume from looking that everyone in your audience is the same age, race, sexual orientation, religion, or many other factors. Even if you did have a fairly homogenous audience, with only one or two people who don’t match up, you should still consider those one or two people
I think this writes about a very important perspective of communication. In order to effectively get your message across to everyone, you have to be able to be diverse and be able to appeal to everyone. I have been to speeches where others will speak about a specific topic and I feel excluded, and so their message doesn't quite get across to me.
Although the concept of self-fulfilling prophecies was originally developed to be applied to social inequality and discrimination, it has since been applied in many other contexts, including interpersonal communication. This research has found that some people are chronically insecure, meaning they are very concerned about being accepted by others but constantly feel that other people will dislike them.
I tend to feel very insecure when I am meeting new people because I am afraid they won't like me. But once I open up and talk to them, I never have a problem. This is a good idea of what to do, and to just manifest positive thoughts. When you allow those negative insecure thoughts to stay, they can keep you from having the opportunity for positive thoughts.
But each person’s self-concept is also influenced by context, meaning we think differently about ourselves depending on the situation we are in. In some situations, personal characteristics, such as our abilities, personality, and other distinguishing features, will best describe who we are.
In some places, I can be much more outgoing and seem like I know what Im doing but other times it seems like im really nervous or I have never done this before in my life. When I feel confident in something, I tend to act not necessarily differently, but more myself. And sometimes I'll think highly of myself and others I will think that I don't deserve to be participating like the others.
I’m sure you have a family member, friend, or coworker with whom you have ideological or political differences.
When I get into an argument with someone like my boyfriend or my friends, I try to avoid thinking about only my point of view. Sometimes when I argue with my bestfriend it seems like she doesn't want to put her ideas aside for the benefit of our friendship, but after I talk it through to her it she starts to understand.
We also organize information that we take in based on difference. In this case, we assume that the item that looks or acts different from the rest doesn’t belong with the group. Perceptual errors involving people and assumptions of difference can be especially awkward, if not offensive.
I have been around many people who tend to say or do things based on only the information they think they know. When they assume certain things, sometimes they are correct, but other times they are embarrassed when they end up being wrong. This is why I think it is important to not stereotype or assume based off the first glance.
The first part of the definition we will unpack deals with knowledge. The cognitive elements of competence include knowing how to do something and understanding why things are done the way they are
This idea is interesting to me because it reminds me of the nature and nature part of psychology. A large portion of how we learn is done through watching others from our environment. We watch others communicate and watch how things are done, which later allows us to apply what we have seen when in the same situation.
Communication is a process that involves an interchange of verbal and/or nonverbal messages within a continuous and dynamic sequence of events
I like the idea of communication within continuous dynamic sequences because it makes me think of music. When I listen to certain songs, they make me feel a certain way and I can really relate to how the artist was feeling. They are communicating through their music to let others know how they are feeling and that's pretty cool.
The interaction model of communication describes communication as a process in which participants alternate positions as sender and receiver and generate meaning by sending messages and receiving feedback within physical and psychological contexts
The interaction model of communication is a much different way to think about communication rather than the linear, one-way process. Having feedback in a conversation with others can be effective and show understanding between two people, but when someone just tells another person to do something it can really change the effects of the conversation., The things I can say and how I give feedback to others can really change the outcome of a conversation.
While such transactions were initially tracked with actual objects that symbolized an amount—for example, five pebbles represented five measures of grain—symbols, likely carved into clay, later served as the primary m
Humans in the beginning were very similar to monkeys, whereas we didn't have a language to communicate but were able to comprehend how many rocks we had. I find it very interesting that in the beginning we were unable to effectively communicate; however, we managed to create ways to write or record things. Very similar to today, just back then we were much less advanced.
