This paper examines the different forms of non-verbal communication, from hand gestures, to eye contact, to physical appearance. The author also goes on to give detailed examples of more subtle forms of non-verbal communication, such as clothing styles and standing posture. Finally, this paper examines how non-verbal communication can be misinterpreted, thus often proving to be less reliable than verbal communication.
From the Paper:
"The more commonly known means of non-verbal communication involve the eyes, face and body. Some of the least known means of non-verbal communication involve bodily appearance, space, touch, clothes and vocal cues. Non-verbal communication is hard to interpret because of its ambiguity."
