Nonverbal Communication, 2nd Edition, is a textbook that surveys the theory, research, and applications of nonverbal behavior. Drawing on scholarship from communication studies, psychology, linguistics, and family studies, the text examines how nonverbal cues operate alongside verbal language to shape everyday interaction.
The volume covers foundational nonverbal codes as well as the communicative functions they serve. It introduces bio-evolutionary and sociocultural backgrounds, discusses specific cue systems, and examines how people convey emotions, build relationships, influence others, and navigate deception.
Designed for undergraduate and graduate courses in communication and psychology, this textbook connects academic research to lived experience through modern examples.
