Chronemics

Monochronic and Polychronic Differences: Time Introduction A cultural anthropologist named, Edward Hall, introduced the concepts of low context and high context cultures in the mid twentieth century. A wide range of characteristics and behaviors determine the context classification of a culture. And within the two different cultural contexts, identified by Hall, there is a contrasting view of time, which is considered to be a non-verbal tool for communication. The study of how different perspectives of time within different cultures affect communication is called chronemics. There are two cultural views associated with chronemics, monochronic or polychronic, and sometimes referred to as m-time and p-time. Low context cultures are monochronic and “emphasize schedules, a precise reckoning of time, and promptness.” (HR, 2002) High context cultures are polychronic and “tend to handle multiple things concurrently (or intermittently during a time period) and to emphasize the number of completed transactions and the number of people involved, rather than the adherence to time schedule.” (HR, 2002) In terms of business, the cultural perspective of time can affect communication, and…

In today's society, social media and online correspondence is an important factor in day-to-day communication. Whether it is sending a quick text message to a friend, or an email to a professor, response speed tends to influence personal opinion from sender to receiver. In the journal article "Chronemics in Instructor-Student E-Mail Communication: An Experimental Examination of Student Evaluations of Instructor Response Speeds" by Nicholas T. Tatum et al, it explains their experiment of "how…

The investigation focused on workroom standards for objective achievement with cumulating assessment on speediness and the capability of completing numerous responsibilities at one time. Research positions the prevalent problem of balancing multiple duties within the framework of chronemics by concentrating on the linked concerns of simultaneity, chronologically, and speed. Participants in two different focus groups, delivered information to devise the supplementary dimensional variables for…

horror film and Cady unexpectedly walked in, Janice and Damian got a huge freight and the results thereof was them holding each other tightly as they were both seeking shelter and protection from each other. When Regina sent Gretchen to talk to Cady, in the school’s hallway on her behalf, Gretchen hugged Cady and said that it was from Regina and that showed the intimacy of their friendship and how they showed each other affection through the usage of hugs.

communication. 2.3. Chronemics The use of time in nonverbal communication is formally defined as chronemics - the study of the way we both use and perceive the use of time. Time can be used as a communication tool in many ways, from punctuality, to expectations around waiting and response time, to general principles around time management. People agendas, their lifestyle, their patience to wait and listen are affected by the correct use of time. Misunderstandings, miscalculations, and…

“Katie Couric” uses chronemics every time after “Sarah Palin” speaks, indicating that she is appalled or confused by the response that “Palin” has given. For example, “Sarah Palin” says: “I went to the movies to see a film called ‘The Bush Doctrine’, it was not about politics”. “Katie Couric” provides feedback to “Palin” with chronemics and regulators. After that statement, there is a long pause in conversation. “Couric” uses regulators such as tilting of the head, opening of the eye, intense…

communicating with others, even when we are not speaking aloud. This form of communication is called nonverbal communication. Nonverbal communication is all of the ways we interact with others without saying a single word. It is comprised of a series of nonverbal codes. These codes consist of paralanguage, chronemics and proxemics, and physical appearance and object language. In order to observe these nonverbal codes in the real world, my group and I went to Moe’s Southwest Grill, a casual…

one other class that was over a year ago so we basically had begun as strangers and our communication reflected as much. I was very uneasy working in a group as I typically am an independent worker and relying on other has never been something that I have been fond of. While this group project may have started on the wrong foot it ended up opening my eyes to the way groups interact and allowing me a way to potentially better future group experiences. As I previously mentioned, there were…

class attendees of both the Ascot and the Ball are more focused on individual gain and success and prefer discussing themselves in shallow, polite conversation. After the Embassy Ball, it is announced that Eliza has succeeded in becoming a proper lady who was able to be passed off as royalty in only six months. This calls into play another type of nonverbal communication called chronemics. Chronemics is related to how we understand and use our time which defines our identities and interactions.…
