Abstract

In this study, we are showing the non-verbal immediacy variables, such as an instructor's posture, facial expressions, distance when interacting with students, touch and gestures, vocal expression, and intents, have a favourable and significant impact on this relationship. The study also showed that across students in Under-Graduate and Post-Graduate programmes, the intention of relationships changes according on gender.
