Resumen de Kinesics in Multimodal Communication: the Main Uses of Head Movements
This paper presents a compilation of the major head movements in communication as well as their main uses and meaning. Bearing in mind those variables, a real interactive situation was examined in order to analyse the frequency of kinesics in conversation. Results suggest that head movements, in this specific conversation, are used in three particular situations. This confirms previous research which stated that the meaning conveyed by kinesics in conversation is even more important than words themselves.
