Real World Case Study<br />

Addie was assigned a roommate for her freshman year in college. Addie noticed that her<br />

roommate didn’t make much eye contact, avoided <strong>to</strong>uch, and didn’t smile very often. After<br />

a few weeks, Addie noticed that her roommate began <strong>to</strong> look at her more when talking and<br />

smiled when she came in<strong>to</strong> the room. Meanwhile, Addie made friends in some of her classes<br />

and invited them <strong>to</strong> her room <strong>to</strong> study. Addie’s roommate didn’t look at anyone and didn’t<br />

smile. Addie’s friends complained that her roommate didn’t like them and that she was a little<br />

strange.<br />

What information might Addie provide <strong>to</strong> her friends <strong>to</strong> give them insight in<strong>to</strong> Addie’s<br />

behavior?<br />

The roommate’s nonverbal behavior may have consequences for her in social settings. Is it her<br />

responsibility <strong>to</strong> adapt her nonverbal communication or the responsibility of those around her<br />

<strong>to</strong> try <strong>to</strong> understand that she is simply different?<br />
