Nonverbal Report. For this paper we had to observe the nonverbal behavior of people in a public setting. The public setting, I observed was a party at my friend’s house on Saturday night. During any conversation, whether its dialogue between two close friends, or a conversation among several people at a party there is kinesics which is defined as facial expressions and gestures.

All I saw was her shake her head no and walk away with her friends. Even though
