Non-verbal communication is a type of communication that employs gestures and body language (Hui & Yam, 1987), e.g.:
appropriate use of gestures and body movements
relevant use of eye contact
The number of people in a communication situation affects the use of non-verbal communication
the more the persons involved, the more complex the use and understanding of the non-verbal communication
It is important to see, interpret and understand others holistically and in a context, while identifying the different types of personalities involved by non-verbal communication.
