Types of nonverbal Communication!
There are 8 types of nonverbal communication.
- Kinesics (waving the hands to symbolize the curves of a women, handsigns such as twist and peace-sign etc)
- Paralinguistic or paralanguage (pitch, volume, tone and even silence)
- Chronemics (in terms of time)
- Objects or artifacts
- Oculesics (associated with eyes)
- Haptics (associated with touch like hug or a pat on your back)
- Proxemics (associated with space)
- Physical Appearance
Sometimes, one look or one hand sign speaks more than a thousand words. That’s the power of nonverbal communication! The clip below showed the various type of nonverbal communications that I’ve listed above. It also gave examples to help viewers understand better. Enjoy! :]
