What are three of the five strategies one can use to improve nonverbal communication in an unfamiliar culture?
What will be an ideal response?
Students should select three of the following five answers.
Observe Closely—rather than assuming your cultural understanding is correct, watch others carefully to see what norms and rules are appropriate in that culture.
Mirror Others' Behavior—observe what others are doing and follow their lead. For example, if they remove their shoes at the door, you should do so as well.
Appreciate Differences in Time and Space—different cultures might have different rules considering physical space/closeness and how time is used (what constitutes on time).
Use Nonverbal Emblems Cautiously—gestures that are appropriate in one culture might be offensive in another culture.
Confirm Interpretations and Attributions—ask others if you are using your nonverbal communication appropriately and how others are interpreting your behavior.
