Nonverbal Communication in Everyday Life

In Nonverbal Communication in Everyday Life, Fourth Edition, Martin S. Remland introduces nonverbal communication in a concise and engaging format that connects foundational concepts, current theory, and new research findings to familiar everyday interactions. Presented in three parts, the text offers balanced coverage of the functions, channels, and applications of nonverbal communication. In every chapter, students will find photographs, figures, and first-person “Personal Experience” boxes that illustrate concepts in an accessible and interesting way, along with exercises and self-assessments that allow students to experience the significance of nonverbal communication through practical application. The fourth edition includes a new “Research Spotlight” feature in each chapter that highlights and summarizes the latest research in nonverbal communication, with links to premium SAGE journal and reference content that introduce students to the most recent discoveries in the field. The text covers nonverbal aspects of a comprehensive range of face-to-face and mediated messages from daily encounters with strangers, to exchanges with friends, family, and romantic partners, to interactions at work and through social media.
