This comprehensive and readable compendium is a collection
of research and theory on nonverbal communication. Written by a communication
scholar and two social psychologists, the book offers an interdisciplinary
approach to the study of NVC that shows how it affects a wide variety of
academic interests. The theory and research included in this text comes from
scholars with a wide variety of academic backgrounds, including communication,
anthropology, counselling, psychology, psychiatry, and linguistics. There have
been many editions each including new material on nonverbal messages and
technology/media that covers the increasing amount of communication that is
mediated by some form of technology and newly added text boxes that acquaint
readers with cutting-edge research questions and findings, and appeal to your
real-life concerns. The book includes the roots of NVC, our ability to receive
and send NV signals, the effects of the environment and physical
characteristics, touch, gesture, eye behaviour and vocal cues.
