Answer:

To create your own theory following these three steps:

1. Describe in detail the patterns of communication you observe.

• For example: I see when teenage males talk to teenage females face-to face they consistently stand 3 feet apart.

2. Explain what you think the causes are for these patterns.

• For example: I think the reason they stand at this distance is because they fear if they stand closer other people will think they are romantic partners.

3. Name your theory. It can be any name you want. This one we’ll call “Gender and Distance Theory.”

Make sure to address all three points in your post about your theory and identify as many nonverbal communication patterns as you can.
