Opis

Researchers who study nonverbal behavior have needed a cohesive discussion of research choices - specifically for the investigation of nonverbal phenomena. This volume addresses that need and aims to encapsulate the primary means by which researchers assess nonverbal cues, facilitating their use by others interested in studying nonverbal behavior. Editor Valerie Manusov collects both well-established and new measures used to research nonverbal behaviors, illustrating the broad spectrum of measures appropriate for use in nonverbal research. In addition to measures that can be used by other researchers with an interest in nonverbal cues, the book addresses issues involved conducting this research. Several chapters provide discussions of larger research paradigms into which a particular measure may be placed. available to them to answer their research questions. The latter includes discussions to help researchers think through the array of choices that they have available to them and to show the strong connections between the types of answers one seeks and the means through which one may seek them. Written by the creators of the measures - all of whom have strong reputations in this area - this book is an invaluable resource for researchers and students studying nonverbal behavior. Scholars and students in interpersonal communications, psychology, personal relationships, and related areas will find the book an essential research tool.

Recenzje

"This book will serve both to introduce new methods and to familiarize readers with the variety of choices available in the study of nonverbal behavior. Highly Recommended."
—CHOICE

"Valerie Manusov, the editor of this anthology, is to be lauded for bringing together within two covers a hefty set of measures, the range of which is unlikely to be known even to those who do work in this area. If this collection leads researchers to expand their conception of the nature of social interactions and what can be assessed in them, then its purpose will have been well served."
