DEFINITION
Silent (non-verbal) messages communicated through the sender's body movements, facial expressions,
voice toneand loudness, etc. In social psychology, all behavior in presence of
another person is considered communication. Also called kinesis communications. See also non verbal communication
Up to 93 % of communication is non-verbal. Including tone of voice, eye movement, posture, hand gestures, facial expressions and more. The pressure of body language can especially be felt in emotional situations. Body language usually prevails over words.

Types of nonverbal communication and body language
There are
many different types of nonverbal communication. Together, the following
nonverbal signals and cues communicate your interest and investment in others.
Слайд 5
Facial expressions
The human face is extremely expressive, able
to express countless emotions without saying a word. And
unlike some forms of nonverbal communication, facial expressions are universal. The facial expressions for happiness, sadness, anger, surprise, fear, and disgust are the same across cultures.
Слайд 6
Body movements and posture
Consider how your perceptions of
people are affected by the way they sit, walk,
stand up, or hold their head. The way you move and carry yourself communicates a wealth of information to the world. This type of nonverbal communication includes your posture, bearing, stance, and subtle movements.
Слайд 7
Gestures
Gestures are woven into the fabric of our
daily lives. We wave, point, beckon, and use our
hands when we’re arguing or speaking animatedly—expressing ourselves with gestures often without thinking. However, the meaning of gestures can be very different across cultures and regions, so it’s important to be careful to avoid misinterpretation
Слайд 8
Eye contact
Since the visual sense is dominant for
most people, eye contact is an especially important type
of nonverbal communication. The way you look at someone can communicate many things, including interest, affection, hostility, or attraction. Eye contact is also important in maintaining the flow of conversation and for gauging the other person’s response
Слайд 9
Touch
We communicate a great deal through touch. Think
about the messages given by the following: a firm
handshake, a timid tap on the shoulder, a warm bear hug, a reassuring pat on the back, a patronizing pat on the head, or a controlling grip on your arm.
Слайд 10
Space
Have you ever felt uncomfortable during a conversation
because the other person was standing too close and
invading your space? We all have a need for physical space, although that need differs depending on the culture, the situation, and the closeness of the relationship. You can use physical space to communicate many different nonverbal messages, including signals of intimacy, aggression, dominance, or affection.
Слайд 11
Voice
We communicate with our voices, even when we
are not using words. Nonverbal speech sounds such as
tone, pitch, volume, inflection, rhythm, and rate are important communication elements. When we speak, other people “read” our voices in addition to listening to our words. These nonverbal speech sounds provide subtle but powerful clues into our true feelings and what we really mean. Think about how tone of voice, for example, can indicate sarcasm, anger, affection, or confidence.
Слайд 15
CONCLUSION
From the above slides we can conclude that
body language really speaks a lot. We can feel
it’s presence in day today life and is necessary to communicate things in an expressive way. Body language gives life to the persons communication and in this way the listener can understand the talks in a better way.
