Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Research has shown that nonverbal behaviors such as facial expressions, gestures, and tone of voice can communicate disapproval in an interview or legal proceeding. While disapproval can be a part of congruence, it should be used carefully and ethically, and not solely rely on verbal or nonverbal means to express it. The use of disapproval as a paradoxical change technique is not supported by ethical guidelines for interviewing.
