Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Aisha is displaying nonverbal immediacy by exhibiting warmth and friendliness through her laughter, smiles, close proximity, and direct eye contact with others in the group.

Other options:
A) Kinesics refers to body language and gestures, which Aisha may also be using, but it is not the best answer as it is too broad and does not capture the warmth and immediacy she is exhibiting. 
C) Spontaneity and provisionalism refer to how nonverbal cues can convey authenticity and honesty. While Aisha may also be displaying these traits, it is not the best answer as it does not capture the specific nonverbal behavior she is displaying. 
D) Territoriality refers to the use of space and how individuals mark their territory. This is not applicable to Aisha's behavior. 
E) Social distance refers to the physical distance between communicators and is also not applicable in this scenario.
