Significance of silent in social interaction is the absence of speech. Silent in this arena can be divided into three categories (Bureau, 1973): mental, social, or both. These are defined according to time, context, and perception. Physiologically, silent is the result of hesitation, stutters, self-correction, or the deliberate slowing of speech for the purpose of clarification or processing of ideas. These are short silent.
Interactive silent occurs in interactive roles, reactive tokens, or turn-taking.
According to cultural norms, silent can be interpreted as positive or negative. For example, in a Christian Methodist faith organization silent and reflection during the sermons might be appreciated by the congregation, while in a Southern Baptist church, silent might mean disagreement with what is being taught, or perhaps disconnectedness from the congregated community.

I personally feel that silent in some situations is good rather than being the talkative. Even though i talk a lot with my friends( there will be a story or events to share and to talk about) i still prefer to be silent in many occasions.
ReplyDeleteFor an example, i prefer to be silent when i get angry(in rare situations). Can this silent of mine include in short silent?
To be silent is in many cases the wisest thing to do.. It can be the only way to respond to some inconsiderate behaviours, comments and irrelevant questions.. Otherwise, you would have to react in a rude way.. And I guess, to be silent in these situations would just help me drive my message home very peacefully, and with thoughtful people, even constructively...
