  1. Communication circle
    David,

    The communication circle that I think you are after is by Dr Albert Mehrabian in 1972 at UCLA.

    The words that I use are ; body language 55%, tone (of voice) 38% and words 7%.

    Hope this helps.

  2. "communication model"
    Debbie is absolutely right on the source of these statistics. It is important to remember that Albert Mehrabian’s research is about how we convey, or communicate, our attitude. melanie Hollinshead

  3. What did Dr Albert Mehrabian say??
    For an interesting insight from the man himself and lest his research be misrepresented “again” may I suggest you read the results of a search using the word – Mehrabian – in the archive section on UKHRD.com
