Communication in the 21st Century: Is It What You Say, Not How You Say It? | Vivian Ta | TEDxUTA

Nonverbal behaviors have historically been regarded as more important in communication than verbal behaviors. This talk will argue how and why verbal behaviors, rather than nonverbal behaviors, are most critical in today's digital society.
Vivian P. Ta is a PhD student at the University of Texas at Arlington where she conducts research in social and personality
psychology. Specifically, her research focuses on examining the role of latent semantic similarity in a variety of interactions, including romantic relationships, friends, strangers, face-to-face
interactions, and computer-mediated interactions. She is a fellow of the National Science Foundation’s LSAMP BD program,
president of UT Arlington’s Graduate Student Senate, and a former intern at Match.com.
This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at ted.com/tedx

    Thanks Vivian. An interesting talk from 2016, which when watched in 2018 surfaced the question of how the emergence of emoticons (emotional expressions in non-verbal format) and word-enhanced graphics upon social media platforms like Instagram influence the theory of what vs how. Perhaps there is a "middle way" emerging via the internet which combines both "how" and "what".

    It is very informative and awakening of the notion about verbal and non verbal communication. They are both inportant and plays significant role in our daily lives. Thanks for these, it helps me aware more that the society we belong is already changing little by little. Communication either verbal or non verbal- they are useful to us people to have a bettee understanding and relationship.

    I agree with what Miss Vivian Ta said in the video, that non-verbal behaviors are indeed important, but what we should focus more on is our verbal behaviors, especially now that we are in the 21st century where we all tend to communicate through technology and internet. When we communicate, our main goal is to be understood and to understand our counterpart, in short, to have a common ground understanding with the other people that we are communicating with. We always pay attention to our non-verbal behaviors thinking that they are the key to understanding each other, but non-verbal behaviors are responsible more on creating an emotional connection and relationship between communicators, and not understanding. Also, it was proven on the research conducted by Ta and her team, that verbal behavior is the only and most important factor that contributes to the establishment of common ground understanding between communicators. In previous discussions, we have discussed the things that globalization has brought to us, and one of those is the interconnectedness between nations, changes in the communications as it was affected by the technology and internet. Nowadays, there are endless possibilities when it comes to communication with the use of internet, we can communicate no matter how far or we are of different time zones, we can communicate through texts, that is why verbal behaviors are more important.

    Vivian talks about the importance of Communication in our globalization this two types of communication is the verbal and nonverbal she talks about the differences of the two which is verbal has ability to talk to two or more person while the non verbal communication is able to talk using sign languages, body language expressions or reactions of people but Vivian is more focused about the importance and benefits of verbal communication because this will understand what the people saying and explain what they are doing but non verbal has also importance because this helps people create communication by deaf or mute persons they are making conversation by the guestures.

    She seems really nervous. Also, I"m surprised she did not talk about technical communication like Discussion Boards, or emails. In those situations, you may not have things like Body Language or Tone, but you do have the ability to set a "tone" or intent through something like a smiley face:)

    It is actually true. This is a required learning material in our Purposive Communication subject, and yet she is boring me to death. Her non-verbal skills are... very... controlled. Like, she's watching how she visually interpret her non-verbal communication ability. It becomes disengaging.

    You clearly mentioned « gestures, gazes and smiles » as examples of nonverbal behaviors that to you are not or were not important in understanding one another at least in the act(s) of communication you studied but allow me to disagree and say that you failed to mention (Consider?) one major and at times the most decisive nonverbal cue, which is voice/pitch/tone..how would I understand someone I am talking to (not texting or sending an email to) fully and clearly and be able to respond appropriately if for instance I can’t hear them well (volume) or if they said they were happy and excited with a very dull intonation or that they were happy to meet me (you said you examined a first encounter of strangers) while their intonation was rather flat?? What if I responded with a nod and a smile because I received conflicting messages (happiness:verbally, and rather « not really »: nonverbally)??. All along, you compared what is incomparable. Oral and written communication are two separate genres I like to think..and have to be treated for being so. I would go as far as to say that even in written communication it’s not just what you say as much as it is how you say it that matters; lay out and clarity of ideas, their cohesion and coherence would impact if not actually determine understanding.

    "We should be focusing more on what we say, rather than on how we say". I must agree with that! Of course, all that non-verbal communication in body language and voice also do have their effects on listeners, in the end it's down to the meaning of our words and the sense they make. So, in the case with political rhetoric - it's up to the common people to be more rational and pay closer attention to words, rather than being fired up by more primitive, emotional engagement of charisma. ;-)

    I can relate to her nervousness, her strained voice, and her stutters and filler words, so I personally understand why she thinks we need to focus on speech content vs. delivery. However ... I'm also actively aware that delivery is crucial and I wouldn't enforce changing others' speech patterns. How is speech in other languages? Is it all about word content, or is it important to consider tone of voice, relatability (personableness), body language, posture, gestures, facial expressions, pauses, etc.? Even though I speak like the speaker currently, I would say all of these are very important. We communicate these things via text-only communication as well. Actions. Pauses. Extra spacing. Punctuation. Italics. etc., etc. I'd like to know where the speaker (Vivian P. Ta) currently stands on this topic.

    I feel like the types of people who participated in the LSS project were the "outgoing/extroverted" ones who are always ready to talk to people (given the subject of recording conversations on first-meetings.) Because I feel like if the hefty sum of that research is participatied "introverted" people, gestures and other nonverbal indicators would definitely change the conclusion of this subject matter.

    I don't know what you are proposing. we human communicated with nonverbal before we were able to invent language. all the species in the world communicate through nonverbal. with verbal we can literally say anything we like. but with nonverbal we can't say lie. we humans can give 10 thousand different facial expression. with proper knowledge of body language and a intuitive mind you can actually know the innermost emotion of a person about you. so why isn't nonverbal important?
