Overview
Nonverbal behavior is a type of human communication that doesn’t involve words. It is made up of facial expressions, body language, and certain types of gestures. Nonverbal behavior is significant because it allows people to communicate without using words, and it can sometimes be more powerful than verbal communication. Nonverbal behavior can be used to show approval, disagreement, or other emotions. It can also be used to control the pace of a conversation or display power dynamics. Nonverbal behavior is an important part of social interaction, as it helps create a shared understanding between people in a variety of contexts.
