NON VERBAL COMMUNICATION

Non verbal communication is something that we all do, even if we don’t know it. We all communicate with each other in other ways than using language. Most people think of non verbal communication as the process of sending wordless messages to others. Usually, the types of non verbal messages are visual, but you can gestures and touch, which is called Haptic Communication. Also you can use body language, posture, facial expression and eye contact. The voice quality, rate, pitch, volume, speaking style, intonation and rhythm and intonation are also factors. Dance is also a form of non verbal communication.

Written texts also have non verbal elements of communication, like handwriting style, the spatial arrangement of words, or even the physical layout of the page. Even though non verbal communication also exists in writing, most of the people who study non verbal communication focus on the face to face interaction and communication of people. Face to face interaction can be classified three ways: the environmental conditions of the area where the communication takes place, the physical characteristics of the communicators, and the communicator’s behavior during the conversation. This is one of the problems of texting and email, many of the subtle ways that people communicate is lost when it is just words on a screen.

Charles Darwin was the first person to study non verbal communication. He studied it in the year 1872. It was in his book The Expression of the Emotions in Men and Animals. He thought that all mammals conversed reliably through their faces, and show emotion reliably. Throughout most of the 20^th century many more people studied the effects of non verbal communication. Many prominent scientists study the effects of non verbal communication of mammals. Many studies that range across a number of fields are being studied now, and many people still question how we communicate through non verbal communication.

Non verbal communications usually communicate emotions and attitudes, not specific thoughts or feelings. They also either substitute for, contradict, emphasize or regulate the verbal meaning of the phrase, and are very often ambiguous, and are very often continuous, always going on and on. Non verbal cues are far more reliable than what we say, and are always culturally bound. Different people in different states in different parts of the world all use non verbal communication, but differently, it always depends on what country you are from. What ever country that you grow up in dictates what kind non verbal communication that you use.

Non verbal communication is something that all mammals do. They all reliably communicate what emotions they are feeling through facial expression and attitudes, and they do it much more accurately than us humans do through speaking. As people, we need to learn how to pick up the small and subtle cues that all animals pick up from their own species. If we know how to read between the lines of people emotions, and how to read their face, then we can all communicate better with ourselves and others.
