Facts about Nonverbal Communıcatıon The only nonverbal behaviours that are universal throughout the world are facial expressions — the expressions of anger, happiness, sadness, disgust, surprise and fear are basic to all humans. There is no dictionary for nonverbal communication. The meaning of a particular nonverbal cue, such as a certain gesture or eye movement, can depend on the context, the individual, and the relationship between the “sender” and the recipient. Entering someone’s personal space causes arousal, which can lead to a positive or negative reaction. The ability to read non-verbal emotions can be improved.  NİŞANTAŞI ÜNİVERSİTESİ ©
