Chapter 6: pgs. 307-319 Kinesics is Key

I found this section of the chapter interesting. I had never thought to look at peoples body language while interviewing them but now that I think about it I can remember the noticeable aspects. While I interviewed my two participants I mainly focused on what they were saying so I could type it in just the way they had said it. After reading this section, I realized that I should have also focused on their kinesics and dress and adornment. One thing I did notice about the second person I interviewed is that she kept very good eye contact with me, seemed to smile a lot, and slouched in her a chair a little bit. I noticed that with the first girl I interviewed she was dressed in sweats. This told me that she was comfortable with me seeing her being lazy and that she wanted to be comfortable because she had homework to do.
