• Find a public place or anywhere you can observe people's non-verbal behavior without making them uncomfortable or intruding on their privacy.

• Create a post that includes your observation details including the location, date, and time of your observation.

• Then, describe the non-verbal behaviors you observed and reflect on how they impacted the interaction.

• Comment on at least two of your classmates' observations, sharing your thoughts on how the non-verbal behaviors influenced the situations described.

Thanks.

• The impact of the body language is it made the interaction feel warm and connected.

• The body language created a welcoming atmosphere, showing mutual respect and attentiveness to both.

• The impact these behaviors could be in the interaction is the lecturer could feel encourage or even validated due the active listening cues.

She seems very frustrated, while keep saying "Huh?!" loudly. I observed and guessed maybe she had a problem in hearing of the other side over the phone call.

• The impact of this behaviour could bring curiousity of people around due to her loud voice on trying to hear the other side. Maybe they better to meet each other or try to initiate on new call that have clearer voices.

-----Thank you for sharing this! It’s interesting how non-verbal behaviors, like her frustrated tone and the way she kept saying “Huh?!”, can really draw attention from people around, especially in a quiet place like near the surau. I agree that her loud voice probably made others curious about what was happening, and it could have even distracted some who were nearby.

One of my classmates also share about adult communicating through body language so it seems non verbal behaviour do really big role through out our life. and the other one telling about loud voice from other and im not sure if that non verbal behaviour.

• Based on the situation, I realized that it could make me feel heard and respected because my chairperson is showing engagement and making the interaction feel more genuine and supportive.

• In addition, his actions such as eye contact, nodding and facial expressions helped me, and my team members reinforce the spoken words and make the message clearer and easier to understand.

-----Thank you for sharing this observation! I agree that the non-verbal cues from your chairperson played a big role in making everyone feel respected and valued. His posture and eye contact must have helped build a sense of trust and support during the meeting. It's great that he actively listened and used eye contact to show he was engaged. Although it’s such a small action, but it really makes a difference in how everyone feels.

I recently observed a badminton game at Kompleks Badminton Pagoh on 30th October around 9pm. The game was intense, and the players were behind in points, looking a bit stressed. Non-verbal behaviours that I witnessed is, during that moment, their coach was standing at the side, watching closely. Instead of calling a timeout, he used hand signals to encourage the team. He made a strong, sweeping motion, telling them to “chase” the points they lost. Then, he gave a thumbs-up and pumped his fist, showing he believed in them without saying a word.

The impact for that is, right away, the players seemed more motivated. They looked at each other, nodded, and got into a confident stance, gripping their rackets tightly and focusing hard on the game. With each rally, the coach continued to signal encouragement, keeping their energy up.

One example of his non-verbal behavior that I observed was when he noticed a female student whose hair was accidentally exposed, even though she was wearing a hijab. Instead of verbally pointing it out and letting everyone around hear the conversation (since the area was crowded with students), he gave her a discreet signal to fix her hair quickly.

As a result of this situation, the female student respected him even more because he saved her from embarrassment in front of others by handling the situation privately.
