Research help

I'm writing a report on mobile phones and I'm trying to find a source (reasonably realiable) that says how much of face to face communication is tone, body language etc.

I can't seem to find anything, any ideas where to look without trawling another load of google results?

Well if I remember that Morgan Stanley credit card add, 90% of communication with hot women in bars is about your plastic.

You're using google for your research? :eek:

My lecturers have some right stick ups when it comes to us using google as a 'search engine' ... idiots.

Anyhoo, joking aside, best to have a read through some reports, try entrez pubmed, science direct, nature.com etc. all have journals and are the most reliable source of information

You will have to read the appropriate psychology/sociology research papers and books, and cite them.

You're best off accessing the journals sites from your university net connection unless you have an Athens login... otherwise you might have to pay for access.

Hmm, I forgot about Athens.....

And I know the statistics I just don't know how I know it and need a source to back it up, thats all i'm after. All I want is the percentages.

sounds like you need something a bit more broad, rather than individual research papaers - how about a book on 'body language' or 'non-verbal communication' - there must be some around - got access to a university library? or even a normal library might do.
