Human communication is thecombination of verbal communication and nonverbal communication, or nonverbal communication is anindispensable part of the whole communication. Of course, we should have a comprehensive and correctunderstanding of the relationship between nonverbal communication and verbal communication. On the onehand, it should be noted that in communication, isolated language behaviors without nonverbal cooperationare often difficult to achieve effective communication purposes; On the other hand, we should also realize thatnonverbal communication can only express clear meaning in a certain context, and a nonverbal behavior canprovide clear information only when it is combined with linguistic behavior or other nonverbal behaviors.Therefore, it is often difficult to understand or study the meaning of a certain nonverbal behavior in isolationfrom linguistic behavior or other nonverbal behavior. Bodhwestere said: "through my own research, I am nolonger willing to regard the linguistic system or non-verbal system as an isolated communication system. Moreand more data have proved the correctness of this argument: neither the linguistic system nor the bodylanguage system can constitute a communication system alone. Only when they are combined and coordinatedwith the corresponding systems of other sensory channels can a complete communication system be formed.Case 2 A Puerto Rican teenage girl in a New York high school was taken to the principal for suspected smokingwith a number of other girls. Questioned by the principal, the girl kept looking at the floor and refused to meethis eyes. Although there was no proof of any wrongdoing and although she had a good record, the principaldecided that she was guilty and suspected her. “There was something sly and suspicious about her,” he said inhis report. “She just wouldn’t meet my eye. She wouldn’t look at me.”Questions:Do you think the girl is guilty or not? And why?In interpersonal communication, eye contact plays an important role in information transmission. Differenteyes reflect different psychology and produce different psychological effects.

When listening to others' speech, nodding without focusing onthe speaker indicates that you are not interested in the speaker and the topic. When speaking, focus on theother person's eyes and face, which is sincere listening, respect and understanding. It is a sign of neglect,indifference and absentmindedness to only pay attention to the work in your hands and not look at the otherparty's words. Looking up at each other means respect and trust; To look down on others is to maintainone's dignity. Looking at each other with a smile is a harmonious understanding; Looking at others with afrown is worry and compassion. It is a kind of disdain to look askance without pleasant color; It is a kind of- 1 - sarcasm to see the other party suddenly laugh; A sudden round stare is a warning or stop; Patrolling othersfrom head to toe is a kind of examination. The two people who feel good about each other talk and look intoeach other's eyes to show that they have a clear meaning; When people who don't speculate meet, theygenerally try to avoid looking at each other's eyes to eliminate unhappiness.
