Q1. Nonverbal communication involves transferring information through gestures, body language, facial expressions, space, and others. Nonverbal communication is entirely dependent on body movements and expressions. It can also involve the use of written text and sign language. Nonverbal communication is essential in the life of humans since it can help pass along messages that cannot be verbally communicated effectively. (Hall et al., 2019) Nonverbal communication can improve one’s ability to relate to what the other person is saying when they are interacting. A better understanding of the message someone else is relaying to you enhances your relationship with them.

Q2. In nonverbal communication, personal space is the space surrounding a person. It is the region where one allows people they are close to invading. Communicators’ interactions with their physical space can send several messages to others. (Burgoon et al., 2021) One’s interaction with their physical space may portray them as mean, insane or friendly. Immediacy is a fundamental idea in communication. Immediacy can be communicated through personal space in that a person may portray friendliness and willingness to communicate with others. The other primary idea is territoriality when one is protective of their physical space, which is portrayed in their body language. (Burgoon et al., 2021) A territorial person may not be open to interaction with others in the vicinity.

Q3. Using personal space as nonverbal communication is prominent in communication. For this reason, improving one’s use of one’s personal space across different contexts to make one a better communicator is crucial. In situations like public transport, the crowded vehicle may force one to invade others’ personal space without causing conflict. In this scenario, one should be able to adjust and avoid clashing with others. In the context of the work environment, a communicator can either let in or not let someone into their personal space to mean that they are encouraging interaction or rebuffing it. (Ali, 2018) It is also essential that the communicator refrains from invading other’s personal spaces in the work environment to keep from being perceived as pushy.

Communication is a vital part of life and of patient-nurse relationships. Effectively communicating with patients improves the quality of care. Communication occurs through non-verbal and verbal modalities. Non-verbal communication is a range of communicative behaviors that do not have linguistic content and messages are transmitted without the use of any word (Ali, 2018). Personal space is one of the non-verbal cues for communication that guarantees comfort to the people involved by ensuring space is created between the communicator and the listener based on their relationship. Recognizing relationships and identifying cross-cultural variances can help make a person a better communicator.

Keywords: Communication, personal space, communicator.

Q2. Personal space for a communicator refers to the space surrounding each individual. It also refers to the comfortable distance between the communicator and the listener. Personal space is a form of non-verbal cue that makes those involved comfortable between themselves. It involves four zones known as the intimate zone, which is the shortest measuring 0-2 ft., personal zone, which measures 2-4 ft., social zone measuring 4-12 ft., and public zone measuring more than 12 ft. (Kneebone, 2019). When the communicator or listener enters the wrong zone, the one whose zone has been invaded feels uncomfortable.

Q3. The first step is to recognize the relationship between me and the other person. For example, in the case of a first-time business relationship with a person, I would ensure the personal space is in the social zone. However, as the relationship advances and trust is created, the space can reduce to the personal zone (Stewart, 2020).

The second and the last step is to identify cross-cultural variance. Since personal zones differ across cultures, personal preferences, and professions, I would study and learn these other people’s preferences to avoid invading their personal space while communicating (Ali, 2018).
