Abstract

Komunikacija je važno obilježje ljudskih odnosa, a geste čine velik dio svakodnevne neverbalne komunikacije. Geste su spontani pokreti proizvedeni rukama ili nekim drugim dijelom tijela te prenose ili upotpunjuju komunikacijsku poruku. Proizvode ih ljudi različite dobi, kultura i jezika. Odrasle osobe gotovo uvijek geste proizvode uz govor te oni poruku često prenose integrirajući različita verbalna i neverbalna komunikacijska sredstva. Cilj je ovog rada opisati spontanu uporabu gesta kod tipičnih odraslih osoba u Republici Hrvatskoj prema učestalosti i vrstama te učestalosti integracije gesta s kontaktom očima i promjenom izraza lica tijekom svakodnevnih razgovora. Uzorak sudionika činilo je 50 tipičnih odraslih osoba (25 muškaraca i 25 žena) koji su stanovnici Republike Hrvatske i govornici hrvatskog jezika. Izrađen je protokol praćenja gesta te su analizirani hrvatski podcasti i emisije koji su pronađeni na platformi YouTube. U svakom je videu analizirano 5 minuta komunikacijskih izmjena jednog govornika. Srednja vrijednost sveukupne učestalosti gesta iznosi 158.5 gesta po ispitaniku. Najčešće se pojavljuju geste naglašavanja, zatim slijede metaforične, deiktične i ikonične geste, a najmanja je učestalost kod amblema. Gotovo svi sudionici (96%) proizveli su četiri od pet analiziranih vrsta gesta (sve osim amblema), a njih 44% proizvelo je svih pet vrsta. Sudionici su u prosjeku integrirali geste (ikonične, metaforične, deiktične i ambleme) s kontaktom očima u 64.17% slučaja, a s promjenom lica u 35.19%. Najmanje je zabilježeno integracije gesta istovremeno s oba navedena oblika neverbalne komunikacije (23.03%). Nisu pronađene statistički značajne razlike u integraciji gesta s kontaktom očima ili s izrazom lica prema vrsti gesta. Ni u jednom promatranom obilježju uporabe gesta nisu pronađene spolne razlike.

Abstract (english)

Communication is an important feature of human relationships and gestures make up a large part of everyday nonverbal communication. Gestures are spontaneous movements made by hands or other body parts to convey or complement a communication message. They are produced by people of different ages, cultures and languages. Adults almost always produce gestures to accompany speech and often combine verbal and nonverbal means of communication to convey their message. The aim of this paper is to describe the spontaneous use of gestures by typical adults in the Republic of Croatia according to gesture frequency, type and the frequency of gesture integration with facial expressions and eye contact. The study sample consisted of 50 typical adults (25 men and 25 women) who live in the Republic of Croatia and speak the Croatian language. A gesture monitoring protocol was made and 50 YouTube podcasts and talk shows in Croatian were analyzed. For each video, 5 minutes of one speaker’s communication exchanges were analyzed. The average overall gesture frequency was 158.5 gestures per participant. The most common type were beating gestures, followed by metaphoric, deictic and iconic gestures while emblems had the lowest frequency. Almost all participants (96%) produced four out of five types of gestures (every type except emblems), and 44% of participants produced all five types. On average, participants integrated gestures (iconic, metaphoric, deictic and emblems) with eye contact in 64.17% of cases and with facial expressions in 35.19%. Integration with both eye contact and facial expression was the least common (23.03%). Between the sexes, no difference was observed in any of the gesture use patterns.
