Nonverbal communication is inevitable. The phrase "We cannot NOT communicate" (Watzlawick, Bavelas, & Jackson, 1967) captures the essence of this characteristic. If a person is in the presence of someone else, then the person’s nonverbal messages (whether intentional or not) are communicating. Meanwhile, the person may be oblivious to all of the messages his or her behavior is sending. Nonverbal communication is the primary conveyer of emotions. People interpret how others feel about what they are communicating based almost entirely on their nonverbal messages. Nonverbal communication is multi-channeled. People perceive meaning from postures, gestures, facial expressions, vocal pitch and rate, and appearance. The fact that nonverbal communication is multi-channeled is one reason people

are more likely to believe nonverbal communication when nonverbal behaviors contradict the verbal message. Nonverbal communication is ambiguous. Very few nonverbal messages mean the same thing to everyone. The meaning of one nonverbal behavior can vary based on culture, sex, gender, and even context or situation. Not only can the meaning of nonverbal messages vary among different cultures, but the meaning of the same nonverbal message also can differ based on the situation. What will be an ideal response?
