- Abstract
Verbal and nonverbal immediacy are two essential dimensions of instructional communication. Although their benefits for student learning are widely heralded, the interrelationships among immediacy, instructor goals, and intuition remain unexplored. For this study, a sample of college instructors (N = 152), completed measures of immediacy, rhetorical and relational goals, and two forms of intuition. Relational goals were positively related to verbal and nonverbal immediacy while rhetorical goals were negatively associated with verbal immediacy. Heuristic intuition predicted verbal immediacy and affective intuition was related to both types of instructor goals. Implications of these findings and limitations to the data are presented.
