INTRODUCTION
Nonverbal communication or body language is the use of 
gestures, tone of voice, expressions, body posture, and so 
on to send a message.

FACIAL EXPRESSION
Facial expressions are responsible for a huge proportion 
of nonverbal communication. 
Consider how much information can be conveyed with a 
smile or a frown. The look on a person's face is often the 
first thing we see, even before we hear what they have 
to say.

GESTURES
Nonverbal communication via gestures is so powerful 
and influential that some judges place limits on which 
ones are allowed in the courtroom, where they can sway 
juror opinions.

Body Language and Posture
Posture and movement can also provide a great deal of 
information. 
Research has grown significantly since the 1970s, with 
popular media focusing on the over-interpretation of 
defensive postures such as arm-crossing and leg-
crossing, especially after the publication of Julius Fast's 
book Body Language.

type of nonverbal communication.

Eye Gaze
The eyes play a role in nonverbal communication, with 
such things as looking, staring, and blinking being 
important cues. 
For example, when you encounter people or things that 
you like, your rate of blinking increases and your pupils 
dilate.

Haptics
Communicating through touch is another important 
nonverbal communication behavior. Touch can be used 
to communicate affection, familiarity, sympathy, and 
other emotions.
