@TheSocials297 @ISU_COMference @nonverbalcom297 What were the limitations of your research?

[John Barkley @BarichGrant]

@TheSocials297 @ISU_COMference @nonverbalcom297 What do you think would have happened if it was a different age group.

[John Barkley @BarichGrant]

@nonverbalcom297 @ISU_COMference 180 screen shots wow!

[John Barkley @BarichGrant]

@nonverbalcom297 I agree with your research! what other kinds of verbal communication do you think masks are going to have an effect on in the future. Kids of the future are going to learn about this point in time in history classes. How will they communicate? with masks still?

9/9 We have thoroughly enjoyed researching how face masks have affected our nonverbal communication during COVID-19. We also want to give a shout out to Dr. Thomas for all of her support throughout the semester! #COMference297 #communication #eyecontact #masks #bodylanguage

[Researcher, I Barely Even Know Her @nonverbalcom297]

8/9 We saw a variety of themes including experiences surrounding children, emotional changes, negative & positive feelings about masked communication, adapting/compensating, experiences with body language, experiences with eyes, change in outside perception & more #COMference

7/9 We coded each social media post based on emerging themes we saw relating specific to our research question. We placed them respectively under the category we believed most accurately represented the post. We did this with 180 screenshots total #COMference #nonverbal #masks

[Researcher, I Barely Even Know Her @nonverbalcom297]

1/9 Our group did research on how wearing face coverings during COVID-19 has affected nonverbal communication. Our tweets will use hashtags that we found most relevant to nonverbal communication, COVID-19, face masks, and other things involved with these topics. #COMference297

@LukeSeeman01 Why do you think this is? playing sport should help most people I thought?

[John Barkley @BarichGrant]

@LukeSeeman01 Most people I believe are already stressed out playing a sport and dealing with school at the same time and keeping that scholarship can be tough for most people.

The pressure students athletes face at the collegiate level has reached a point where a conversation needs to be started. Are these pressures manageable for student athletes? #mentalhealth #COMference297

1/10 Our research team wanted to explore the interactions between social media & mental health, specifically those that are derived from the participation & consumption of social media content on Instagram. #COMference297 #mentalhealth #socialmedia #Instagram #collegestudents

[John Barkley @BarichGrant]

@hardpanz were these your only limitations? could you have taken a different route with the research and got different results?

[John Barkley @BarichGrant]

@Tania244466666 I feel like schools nowadays force-feed students the help they need and its importance. Unlike years and years before nobody really knew about it.

@isuforensics @ISU_COMference I can see why they would be at risk.

[ISU Forensics @isuforensics]

Since the pandemic service workers have been some of the most at-risk employees. The minimum wage going up doesn’t fix the underlying problems faced by service workers. We will look at why mistreatment of service workers happens how it hurts and how to fix it #COMferenceForensics

@isuforensics This is a good sketch

[ISU Forensics @isuforensics]

Understanding that there is no grand design, Bill no longer worries himself with the mundane aspects of life, instead he enjoys the simple pleasantries like going for a walk around the block and gazing at the stars. #COMferenceForensics

@isuforensics @ISU_COMference Love this idea of talking to dead peeps.

[ISU Forensics @isuforensics]

The metaverse isn’t just for video games, it is poised to revolutionize everything from the way we deal with emotions to how we teach the violence of history. The metaverse could allow students to revisit historical times or talk to the dead. #COMferenceForensics
