It is estimated that the meaning derived by the students from non-verbal communication in relation to verbal communication is ___________ more.
$\frac{2}{3}$
To solve this question, we need to understand the comparative impact of non-verbal communication over verbal communication. The question asks us to identify how much more meaning is derived from non-verbal communication as compared to verbal communication.
In communication studies, research by Albert Mehrabian suggests that non-verbal elements are a significant part of communication. Non-verbal communication forms a substantial portion of the interaction process, often estimated to convey more meaning than verbal communication alone.
The model developed by Mehrabian indicates that the impact of a message is only 7% verbal (words), 38% vocal (tone of voice, intonation), and 55% through non-verbal elements (body language, facial expressions, etc.). This can be interpreted such that non-verbal components add significant meaning, which empirically is estimated to be about two-thirds more than verbal communication.
Given this understanding, out of the given options, the fraction \(\frac{2}{3}\) indicates that the non-verbal communication contributes \(\frac{2}{3}\) more meaning in comparison to verbal communication.
- \(\frac{1}{6}\): This option implies non-verbal communication is significantly less impactful than commonly understood in the communication context.
- \(\frac{2}{3}\): This option correctly represents the additional impact of non-verbal communication, aligning with the established research findings.
- \(\frac{2}{7}\): This fraction is smaller than \(\frac{2}{3}\) and incorrectly represents the comparative impact.
- \(\frac{1}{3}\): This fraction underestimates the effect of non-verbal communication as compared to verbal communication.
Thus, the correct and accurate answer is \(\frac{2}{3}\), which indicates that students derive \(\frac{2}{3}\) more meaning from non-verbal communication than from verbal communication.
