3 credits Kinesic interview and interrogation is viewed as a multiphase behavioral analysis system used to conduct more effective and efficient interpersonal communications. The foundation of the techniques used in this course is to conduct more effective and efficient interpersonal communications. This technique rests on the observation of common everyday behavior of human beings and their diverse communication abilities.The course will explore principles of basic kinesics in terms of speech and body language, and also the same behaviors exhibited in written statements. It is suggested that speech and body language behaviors can give insight into the individual's personality type, indicating the "psychological fingerprint" of the person. By combining the information received through diagnosis of verbal and nonverbal behavior with this psychological fingerprint, an interviewer can conduct an interview and interrogation that is specifically tailored for the subject.
