Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Jonathan's actions of moving closer to Sandra, increasing eye contact, and leaning forward indicate immediacy, which is the nonverbal behavior that communicates intimacy, closeness, and involvement in the interaction. This behavior helps to build rapport and a positive relationship with the other person. Reciprocity is a give and take in conversation, while conversational narcissism is when someone dominates the conversation, and passivity is the lack of involvement in the interaction. None of these options accurately describe Jonathan's behavior in this scenario.
