What is Chronemics? Elaborate by giving two examples.
Ans: Chronemics is related to effective utilization of time. It is the
ethics of proper use of time to be observed for non verbal
communication. The way an individual perceives and values time is a
powerful communication tool. Time perceptions include punctuality,
willingness to wait and interactions. Utilization of our time in our
personal and professional life reflects the influence of our culture on
us.
Examples: One can misuse time like not completing the project in
time, not studying regularly and delaying the submission of
assignments.
If we do not wish to do something, we delay our action till it is
unavoidable.
Similarly, when we wish to convey our dislike or annoyance with a
person, we make him wait for a long time before meeting him.
We find it difficult to meet a friend who has borrowed a book or
some money from us. On the other hand, we may rush out of the
bathroom to greet a long lost friend or a relative.
