Nonverbal Analysis Task Description: This is a multiple step assignment designed to help you: Pay attention to the nonverbal communication around you. Interpret nonverbal communication more effectively. Connect the material in the Nonverbal Communication Chapter to real world situations. Take a notebook with you so that you can record what your see. Pay attention to each person’s nonverbal communication for at least thirty minutes. This would work with many activities you do every day—like having dinner with someone, going to the library, going to a park, airport, or even the mall. This may also be done in conjunction with another class assignment, like conducting an interview. You only need to be close enough to be looking at the subjects without being noticeable to them. If they feel they are being watched, they will often move and you can’t complete the assignment. In order to accomplish these objectives, please do the following: Step 1: Go to any public venue and pick two people interacting to watch. Step 2: Take TONS of notes of what you observe. What kind of facial displays did you notice that had message value? What kind of gestures or body movement had that message value? What kind of eye movement, like eye contact or lack, thereof, communicated a message to you? If you were close enough to hear, what kind of vocal behavior, like pitch, rate, volume, pronunciation or accent had that message value? What kind of things did you notice about their physical appearance that communicated something about them to you? What about their artifacts added value to the message? Did you notice any emblems, illustrators, affect displays, or adaptors? What were they? How did the other person use space to communicat3e? How did they use touch to communicate? Step 3: Write up a nonverbal analysis of interaction. This paper should be no-longer or shorter than a three-page account of at least three different behaviors that you noticed. Your fourth page will be your reference page (APA format please). In the discussion of each behavior, be sure to address: What the behavior was and what it communicated to you. Whether or not you think the behavior was intentional. What you did or thought in response to the behavior. How did the behavior affect the communication that the subject had with the other person? Somewhere in your discussion, be sure to define and cite the key terms you use (such as proxemics or affect display) Need Preview and review main points, purpose, attention getter, and clincher statement in introduction and conclusion. Explain how your purpose connects to your results. Need a detailed description of the public venue and the participants chosen to watch. Includes why these participants were chosen. Need at least three different nonverbal communication behaviors (Hintthese nonverbal behaviors would be your 3 headings for that section of your paper) and each nonverbal communication term & definition is citedin bold font. Identify communication patterns in other people. List and describe the basic theories of interpersonal communication behavior. Demonstrate skills in listening, and perceiving.

Reference List: Basic Rules
Note: This page reflects the latest version of the APA Publication Manual (i.e., APA 7), which released in October 2019. The equivalent resource for the older APA 6 style can be found here.
This resource, revised according to the 7th edition APA Publication Manual, provides fundamental guidelines for constructing the reference pages of research papers. For more information, please consult the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association, (7th ed.).
Note: Because the information on this page pertains to virtually all citations, we’ve highlighted one important difference between APA 6 and APA 7 with an underlined note written in red.
Formatting a Reference List
Your reference list should appear at the end of your paper. It provides the information necessary for a reader to locate and retrieve any source you cite in the body of the paper. Each source you cite in the paper must appear in your reference list; likewise, each entry in the reference list must be cited in your text.
Your references should begin on a new page separate from the text of the essay; label this page “References” in bold, centered at the top of the page (do NOT underline or use quotation marks for the title). All text should be double-spaced just like the rest of your essay.
Basic Rules for Most Sources
- All lines after the first line of each entry in your reference list should be indented one-half inch from the left margin. This is called hanging indentation.
- All authors’ names should be inverted (i.e., last names should be provided first).
- Authors’ first and middle names should be written as initials.
- For example, the reference entry for a source written by Jane Marie Smith would begin with “Smith, J. M.”
- If a middle name isn’t available, just initialize the author’s first name: “Smith, J.”
- Give the last name and first/middle initials for all authors of a particular work up to and including 20 authors (this is a new rule, as APA 6 only required the first six authors). Separate each author’s initials from the next author in the list with a comma. Use an ampersand (&) before the last author’s name. If there are 21 or more authors, use an ellipsis (but no ampersand) after the 19th author, and then add the final author’s name.
- Reference list entries should be alphabetized by the last name of the first author of each work.
- For multiple articles by the same author, or authors listed in the same order, list the entries in chronological order, from earliest to most recent.
- When referring to the titles of books, chapters, articles, reports, webpages, or other sources, capitalize only the first letter of the first word of the title and subtitle, the first word after a colon or a dash in the title, and proper nouns.
- Note again that the titles of academic journals are subject to special rules. See section below.
- Italicize titles of longer works (e.g., books, edited collections, names of newspapers, and so on).
- Do not italicize, underline, or put quotes around the titles of shorter works such as chapters in books or essays in edited collections.
Basic Rules for Articles in Academic Journals
- Present journal titles in full.
- Italicize journal titles.
- Maintain any nonstandard punctuation and capitalization that is used by the journal in its title.
- For example, you should use PhiloSOPHIA instead of Philosophia, or Past & Present instead of Past and Present.
- Capitalize all major words in the titles of journals. Note that this differs from the rule for titling other common sources (like books, reports, webpages, and so on) described above.
- This distinction is based on the type of source being cited. Academic journal titles have all major words capitalized, while other sources’ titles do not.
- Capitalize the first word of the titles and subtitles of journal articles, as well as the first word after a colon or a dash in the title, and any proper nouns.
- Do not italicize or underline the article title.
- Do not enclose the article title in quotes.
- So, for example, if you need to cite an article titled “Deep Blue: The Mysteries of the Marianas Trench” that was published in the journal Oceanographic Study: A Peer-Reviewed Publication, you would write the article title as follows:
- Deep blue: The mysteries of the Marianas Trench.
- …but you would write the journal title as follows:
- Oceanographic Study: A Peer-Reviewed Publication
- So, for example, if you need to cite an article titled “Deep Blue: The Mysteries of the Marianas Trench” that was published in the journal Oceanographic Study: A Peer-Reviewed Publication, you would write the article title as follows:
Please note: While the APA manual provides examples of how to cite common types of sources, it does not cover all conceivable sources. If you must cite a source that APA does not address, the APA suggests finding an example that is similar to your source and using that format. For more information, see page 282 of the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association, 7th ed.
