nonverbal communication
As an area of study, nonverbal communication appears to labor under two problems of definition. The “nonverbal” label defines the area negatively: that communication which occurs without words. The other commonly applied label, “body language,” defines the area by analogy to language, but again in a kind of neg ative analogy to language—language enacted by the body rather than the voice, language typically without a grammar or vocabulary. While both definitions suffer limitations, most people do understand that communi cation study and research encompasses a very wide scope of human behavior. The scope of the subject mat ter also expands with a consideration of the disciplines that attend to it. Researchers have approached nonver bal communication from several disciplinary perspec tives, with anthropology, psychology, and communica tion representing the most active.
In the introduction to their handbook oriented to the psychological approaches, Matsumoto, Hwang, and Frank (2016a), opt for the widest definition, noting that researchers “embrac[e] the idea that NVC [nonverbal communication] encompasses almost all of human communication except the spoken or written word . . . . In this handbook, we define NVC as the transfer and exchange of messages in any and all modalities that do not involve words“ (p. xix).
While this review will also broadly define the nonverbal area, it will not address studies of sign lan guage, a specialized kind of nonverbal expression and one intended to function as a language with defined grammar and vocabulary.
A. Background and overview Hinshelwood (2015) presents a history of early
psychological work in nonverbal communication, recounting Freud’s explorations of unconscious trans fer of meaning and his correspondence about it with Jung and Ferenczi. This and other observations led to the acceptance of both a cognitive (and conscious) communication system and something else, what today
many refer to as nonverbal communication (p. 129). Hinshelwood then describes the development of study of animal “calls and gestures” (p. 130) as a communi cation system, though a nonlinguistic one. He further describes it: “This is a second system, characterized by reference, action, and emotional arousal. It exists in parallel to our cognitive linguistic system” (p. 131), one that we share with animals.
Some years before Freud, Charles Darwin suggest ed an animal origin for nonverbal actions—especially emotional expression—something that eventually evolves into more sophisticated human communication (Jabr, 2010). Frank and Shaw (2016) specifically review nonverbal communication in the light of evolution, ask ing how human evolution might account for various aspects of nonverbal communication. They identify non verbal communication as signs, signals, and symbols; they include both the voluntary and involuntary quality of these actions. For example, they suggest that some nonverbal communication may simply signal fear, but that this, in turn, could be used to pass a message to other members of a group and thus function as danger signals (p. 55). Over time these evolved into more complex sig nifications. The evolutionary approach usually merits discussion in most introductory works.
As indicated in these psychological and anthropo logical approaches, nonverbal communication study reflects mixed origins. Manusov (2016) offers an overview of the “heritages” that led to current studies: linguistic, sociological, cultural, ethnological and psy chological. These key disciplines each take a slightly different approach.
The 1950s and 1960s saw the beginnings of a more systematic exploration of nonverbal behaviors with researchers like Hall (1959, 1966) exploring anthropological or cultural differences in the use of space (proxemics); Birdwhistell (1955, 1970) examin ing gestures; Ekman (1964, 1965) attending to facial expression; and Argyle and his colleagues (1965, 1968) studying gaze (Patterson, 2014, p. 172). Patterson notes

1. Introduction
that these studies tended to focus only on a single chan nel of communication, partly due to the difficulty of measurement (p. 173). This period also saw the emer gence of some theories of nonverbal communication: the equilibrium theory of nonverbal intimacy (Argyle & Dean, 1965) and various affectbased theories (Patterson, 2014, p. 173). Beginning in the 1970s com munication scholars like Knapp (1978) attempted to bring these approaches together under the overarching rubric of communication.
Research in the latter part of the 20th century focused more on nonverbal behavior as “automatic processes” through which people manage everyday life (Patterson, 2014, p. 175). In his 2014 review, Patterson asks whether researchers have done too much work on the individual parts or channels of nonverbal behavior and not enough on the larger view:
How might we pursue important research ques tions and, at the same time, employ methods and measures that maximize the ecological validity of our results? I suggest that we frame nonverbal communication as a kind of adaptive system, serving social goals and constrained by several determinant factors (Patterson, 2011). Furthermore, in this system, the importance of both interaction settings and patterns of behavior (not isolated components) should be recognized. Finally, understanding nonverbal communication in interactions requires attention to the simultane ity of sending and receiving processes. (p. 176)
To this end, Patterson proposes four characteristics for future research: “an emphasis on the functions of non verbal communication”; a consideration of the antecedent factors of nonverbal communication, such as “biology, culture, gender, and personality”; an understanding of the settings in which the communica tion occurs; and a “focus on patterns of behavior” (2014, pp. 176–177).
Work on the various functions of nonverbal com munication has begun. Matsumoto, Hwang, and Frank (2016a), suggest these four functions for nonverbal behavior:
First, NVC can define communication by pro viding the backdrop for communication and by explaining or characterizing the context or set ting within which people will interact and behave . . . Second, NVC can comment on ver bal communication—that is, the actual words used—because NVC can occur when people are also talking. . . .Third, NVC can regulate our interaction episodes. Much of our conversations
are regulated by nonverbal cues so subtle that the average person does not notice them. Nodding, smiling, looking concerned or empa thetic are all NVBs that occurred during conver sations and signal the talker that the listener is listening and tracking the conversation. . . . Finally, NVC can be the message itself because it can occur without any words being spoken simultaneously. (p. xxi).
Parts of this approach appears in many studies, espe cially those examining the channels or contexts of non verbal behavior, since the behaviors themselves can fulfill several functions.
More specialized works focus on nonverbal com munication as a subset of pragmatics, that is, the study of language in use. Linguists often see nonverbal behaviors as qualifiers of the verbal; the pragmatics include tone of voice, facial expression, gestures, and so on. Wharton (2009) places such pragmatics in theo retical context and then suggests principles for their study, a taxonomy of pragmatic nonverbal behavior, and the codes and actions that allow people to under stand one another.
B. Method and plan This review presents work published on nonver
bal communication between 2007 and 2018, examining peer reviewed journal publications, but also key books. Searches of the EBSCO Communication Source data base of over 600 journals, of library catalogues, and of Google Scholar yielded about 500 qualifying entries.
This review will first introduce some of the mate rials available for studying nonverbal communication, then present a short section on more theoretical writing about it. The next section will present research on non verbal behaviors sorted by channel—face and eyes, gestures, touch, paralinguistics, and body language. Section 5 reviews studies sorted by the contexts in which researchers have examined nonverbal communi cation. The next section will review some of the func tions under which scholars have studied nonverbal communication: expressing emotion, deception and detecting deception, and language study. The last major section will review studies that propose or explain the various research methods scholars use.
While these groups do reflect the contents of the various studies, one should note that many of the studies could well fit into more than one group: a study of facial expression, for example, could also examine the functions of those expressions. However, to make this review more concise, individual studies

typically appear only once, though any decision about listing studies does manifest an inherent problem with the area.
Despite the number of studies, even a review of this length cannot aim to exhaust this important and growing area of communication research.

2. Sources
In addition to the the journal articles, wich form the primary sources of data for this review, a number or scholars present summarires of work in accessible form in handbooks, overviews, textbooks, websites, and data depositories.
A. Handbooks and overviews Many handbooks of communication or psychol
ogy include a section on nonverbal communication. Most of these chapters serve as reviews of relevant lit erature, summarizing key findings for others interest ed in the topics of the particular handbooks. For exam ple, Horowitz and Strack’s (2011) handbook on inter personal psychology features a chapter on “the role of nonverbal communication and interpersonal relations“ (Gifford, 2011). This chapter both describes and defines nonverbal behavior, offering a brief history of the studies of nonverbal behavior; some review of the theoretical approaches (particularly evolutionary bases for nonverbal behavior); a summary of the social psychological theories for nonverbal communi cation; several research methods, including decoding messages; and areas of complexity and influences on nonverbal communication. The latter include vari ables such as gender, culture, decoding ability, and decodability. The overview sketches various contexts for nonverbal communication, particularly relation ships, which introduces areas of study such as power and dominance, deception, and computer mediated communication. Finally Gifford introduces material on using nonverbal behavior in interpersonal areas. His review of relevant theories includes the historical move from one channel studies to more complex examples such as interaction adaption theory as well as different functional perspectives and finally parallel processing theories.
Westland (2015) offers a more general overview to “verbal and nonverbal communication in psy chotherapy,” presenting some of the research on the neurological foundations for nonverbal communica tion, then the research in child development dealing
with nonverbal areas, and finally research on the com plementarity of verbal and nonverbal communication. Other chapters cover material on nonverbal communi cation’s role in manifesting emotions and on how ther apists should attend to bodily signals. The NATO Advanced Study Institute on the Fundamentals of Verbal and Nonverbal Communication (Esposito, 2007) offers a fairly comprehensive introduction in the context of exploring biometric identification, pre senting papers in the proceedings of a conference on that theme.
Hook, Franks, and Bauer (2011) provide multi ple perspectives on social psychology’s role in com munication, addressing nonverbal communication in several chapters. DeGraft Aikins (2011) offers an introduction to the ways nonverbal communication figures in what she calls “multicultural life.” Some very helpful charts map out different kinds of non verbal behavior against key areas of influence. These include physical appearance, kinesics (movement), face and eye behavior, paralinguistics, proxemics (personal distances or space), and haptics (touch) mapped against cultural, gender, and personality and individual differences. Each cell of the chart gives a brief summary of key understandings. Highlighting cultural differences and everyday interaction, de Graft Aikins walks the reader through the multi level dimensions of nonverbal behavior in these various settings. In their chapter on evolution and communi cation, Franks and Dhesi (2011) include theories of the development of communication from nonverbal to verbal expression. A related book, but one directly addressing the social psychology of nonverbal communication comes from Kostić and Chadee (2015). Its chapters include material on the neurology and neuroscience of nonverbal expression and inter pretation; on vocalics and facial expression; and on nonverbal communication connected with romantic relationships, the expression of emotion, political campaigns, workplace interactions, psychology, and online settings.
Nelson and Brown (2012), whose handbook address es gender issues in communication, include material from studies of gender differences in nonverbal behavior; the findings, they argue, show how these behaviors both sup port gender roles and limit people in those roles.
B. Textbooks Many publishers offer textbooks for college
courses on nonverbal communication. These include new editions of the classic work by Mehrabian (1972/2017) as well as updated texts by wellknown scholars: Burgoon, Guerrero, and Floyd (2010/2016), DeVito (2013), Moore, Hickson, and Stacks (2013), Matsumoto, Frank, and Hwang (2013), and Ivy and Wahl (2014). In addition some reprints of older texts are still available, such as those by Pease and Pease (2004) or Late and Eaves (2007).
C. Journals Given the scope of work on nonverbal communi
cation, a number of specialized journals have become the locus for publishing much research: The Journal of Nonverbal Behavior, Gesture, and Journal of Human Behavior in the Social Environment. In addition, more general communication studies journals often publish relevant work: Human Communication Research, Communication Studies, Speech Communication, and the Journal of Linguistic Anthropology.
D. Online resources In addition to the handbooks and textbooks, a
number of online resources exist, but of varying detail and quality, with general sites (Blatner, 2009; Givens, 2016a) or occupationally specific ones (Nurse Jon, n.d.)

3. Theory
Nonverbal behaviors have given rise to a fairly substantial body of theory, ranging from the evolution ary descriptions of the origins or purpose of the pro duction and interpretation of these kinds of human activities to works dealing with larger questions of embodiedness as the condition of human life. A two volume collection, Body, Language, and Mind (Ziemke, Zlatev, & Frank, 2007; Frank, Dirven, Ziemke, & Bernardez, 2008) offers a comprehensive set of essays addressing questions of embodiment or “the bodily basis of phenomena such as meaning, mind, cognition, and language.” While not exclusively about nonverbal communication, the material does sit uate it in terms of linguistics, semiotics, cognition, phi losophy, and communication (see Ziem, 2011, for a review of both volumes). A more specifically language oriented theoretical approach comes from de Ruiter (2007), who compares understanding of nonverbal behavior based on three assumptions:
These assumptions have profound consequences for theories about the representations and pro cessing involved in gesture and speech produc tion. I associate these assumptions with three simplified processing architectures. In the Window Architecture, gesture provides us with a “window into the mind.” In the Language Architecture, properties of language have an influence on gesture. In the Postcard
Architecture, gesture and speech are planned by a single process to become one multimodal mes sage. . . . The Language Architecture and the Postcard Architecture differ from the Window Architecture in that they both incorporate a cen tral component which plans gesture and speech together, however they differ from each other in the way they align gesture and speech. (p. 21)
Pollio, Finn, and Custer (2016) take phenomenologi cal philosophy as their starting point for an empirical investigation into the meaning the body as it interacts with language systems. Mondada (2016) also consid ers the body, but from the starting point of social interaction. “Putting the body at the center of atten tion . . . repositions language as one among other modalities, and invites us to consider the involvement of entire bodies in social interaction, overcoming a logocentric vision of communication, as well as a visuocentric vision of embodiment” (p 336).
Irvine (2016) challenges “the gesturefirst hypotheses about the evolution of language” (p. 221) by raising questions about key assumptions about the preconditions of language that depend on symbol use in early hominids. Irvine argues that the vocal channel offers greater possibility than the non verbal one. For more detail on the historical develop ment of theoretical approaches to nonverbal study, see Keating (2016) who provides a fairly detailed account of this area.

4. Channels
“Channels” refers to places or behaviors people observe as sources of meaning. These include (follow ing the order of Matsumoto, Hwang, & Frank, 2016a) the environment (Patterson & Quadflieg, 2016) from which people draw cues for behavior or proper acting; personal appearance (Re & Rule, 2016); facial expres sions (Hwang & Matsumoto, 2016); voice and vocal characteristics (Scott & McGettigan, 2016); gesture (Cartmill & GoldinMeadow, 2016); gaze (Adams & Nelson, 2016); smell (HavilandJones, Wilson, & Freybert, 2016); and posture and gait (Matsumo, Hwang, & Frank, 2016b). The more recent journal publications include work on face and eye behavior, gesture, touch, paralinguistics, and body.
A. Face and eyes The human face provides an extraordinary
amount of information, which people use for every thing from managing interactions to expressing emo tions and ideas. People signal liking by what they look at (Schotter, Berry, McKenzie, & Rayner, 2010 ); peo ple signal dominance and submission by eye gaze (Tang & Schmeichel, 2015); people make judgments of the attractiveness of others based on gaze direction (Ewing, Rhodes, & Pellicano, 2010), with direct eye contact leading to greater liking; people react more strongly to direct eye contact, showing more embar rassment, for example (Drummond & Bailey, 2013); and, although people think that they cannot detect deception because “liars avoid eye contact,” “meta analyses of deception literature have shown a nonsig nificant relationship between gaze and deception” (Mann, Vrij, Leal, Granhag, Warmelink, & Forrester, 2012, p. 205). Eye behavior appears so important and so central to human interaction and serves so many multiple essential functions that robotic researchers use nonverbal studies to assist in designing robot eyes that will provide eye contact and direct joint attention in a naturalistic manner (Onuki, Ishinoda, Tsuburaya, Miyata, Kobayashi, & Kuno, 2013; Mohammad & Nishida, 2013). Similar work by Foster and Oberlander (2007) led them to develop “a system that uses corpus based selection strategies to specify the head and eye brow motion of an animated talking head” (p. 305).
The eyebrows also play a large role in human sig naling, particularly in regulating conversation. Flecha García (2010) noted that “eyebrow raises occurred more frequently at the start of highlevel discourse seg ments than anywhere else in the dialogue, and more frequently in instructions than in requests for or acknowledgments of information. Interestingly, con trary to the hypothesis queries did not have more rais es than any other type of utterance. Additionally, as predicted, eyebrow raises seemed to be aligned with pitch accents” (p. 542).
Other facial expression research has established that people mimic the expressions of others, with com plementary smiles occurring more quickly (Riehle, Kempkensteffen, & Lincoln, 2017). RuizSoler and Beltran (2012) conclude that people typically follow a hierarchy in decoding facial expression, with the eyes and mouth appearing more important than the nose and chin. People find it easier to decode expression in dynamic interactions than in a single frame, suggesting that change plays a key role in interpreting others’ facial expressions (Bould & Morris, 2008), results con firmed by Schmidt, Bhattacharya, and Denlinger’s (2009) work on smiles and Sato and Yoshikawa’s (2007) studies of emotional arousal. Swerts and Krahmer (2008) also found that people more quickly decode expressions of prominence accompanied by verbal utterances. Similarly, Ruusuvuori and Peräkylä (2009) examine facial expression and verbal expres sion in storytelling, concluding “that facial expression can stretch the temporal boundaries of an action” and thus build up shared understanding (p. 377).
People make use of facial expression to draw conclusions about the emotions of others, with evi dence showing that they automatically process emo tions and have trouble when contradictory verbal cues appear (Preston & Stansfield, 2008). Not surprisingly, some people have the ability to create a Duchenne smile (one that involves both mouth and eyes), a help in persuading others (Gunnery & Hall, 2014). People can reliably understand six “universal expressions of emotion (happiness, sadness, fear, disgust, anger, and surprise)” based on facial expression, even at different distances (Smith & Schyns, 2009, p. 1202), and they
use a combination of decoding strategies based on cat egories and dimensions (Mendolia, 2007) or structures and variants (Why & Huang, 2010) to accomplish this. Even in crowded spaces, like subway cars, humans retain this ability, though they adjust the use of percep tual cues due to enforced proximity (Aranguren & Tonnelat, 2014). People also judge the likeliness of aggressive behavior based on face width to height ratios, an implicit judgment that Carré, McCormick, and Mondloch (2009) attribute to evolutionary forces.
However, some factors do affect people’s abilities to interpret facial expressions or create bias in the inter pretation: mood (Forgas & East, 2008), power (Civile & Obhi, 2016), culture (Krys, Vauclair, Capaldi, Lun, Bond, DomínguezEspinosa, Torres, Lipp, Manicam, Xing, Antalíková . . ., 2016; Hess, Blaison, & Kafetsios, 2016), and intergroup bias (Becker, Neel, & Anderson, 2010).
Finally, researchers have experimented with peo ple’s abilities to encode emotion through facial expres sion. Visser, Krahmer, and Swerts (2014) studied the display of surprise in children and adults, finding that age, social context, and the cause of the surprise mod erated the expressions. Namba, Kagamihara, Miyatani, & Nakao (2017) examined the expression of sadness, noting studies have shown “that drooping of the lip corners, raising of the chin, and oblique eyebrow movements (a combination of inner brow raising and brow lowering) express sadness,” but that controlled studies have not necessarily connected people’s experi encing sadness to these clues. Their study indicates that the same facial actions can also indicate other emo tions, including fear, anger, or disgust (p. 203). Other studies indicate no differences in the spontaneous expression of emotion between healthy and mentally ill participants (Peham, Bock, Schiestl, Huber, Zimmermann, Kratzer, Dahlbender, Biebl, & Benecke, 2015). However, “accurate recognition of facial expressions of negative emotions (anger, contempt, disgust, fear, and sadness) predicted less conflict engaging behaviors during conflict with . . . romantic partners,” something that leads to greater relational sat isfaction (Yoo & Noyes, 2016, p. 1).
B. Gestures Gesture seems almost synonymous with human
communication, inseparable from speech. As such it has attracted a great deal of study. In fact, for centuries scholars have debated a “gesture theory of language.” Wilcox (2009) reviews the contribution of William C. Stokoe to this thinking, describing his “semantic phonol ogy.” Armstrong (2008) situates the history more broad
ly, identifying “common themes running through gestur al theories of the origin of language such that iconic vis ible gesture is more natural than speech as a communi cation device that solves the problem of accounting for the origin of arbitrary signs”; at the same time he acknowledges a lack of fossil evidence but counters by noting that “the first linguistic units are representations of objects and events in the world” (p. 289). Irvine (2016) challenges this view, “by identifying constraints on the emergence of symbol use.” She notes that
Current debates focus on a range of precondi tions for the emergence of language, including co operation and related mentalizing capacities, imi tation and tool use, episodic memory, and vocal physiology, but little specifically on the ability to learn and understand symbols. [She argues] that such a focus raises new questions about the plau sibility of gesturefirst hypotheses, and so about the evolution of language in general. . . . [and] that existing uses of gesture in hominid communities may have prohibited the emergence of symbol use, rather than “bootstrapped” symbolic capaci ties as is usually assumed, and that the vocal channel offers other advantages in both learning and using language. (p. 221)
Nuessel (2007) and Wilcox (2012) offer critiques of the various positions in the gesture and language debates. By necessity, the gesture theory of language approach es take a diachronic stance in regard to gestures. Other diachronic approaches include different variables. In a festschrift Seyfeddinipur and Gullberg (2014) include essays dealing with gaze and gesture, with the latter encompassing cultural and situational approaches that take a generally diachronic view.
As noted earlier, the handbook edited by Matsumoto, Hwang, and Frank (2016a) takes the position that nonverbal behavior in general—and gestures in particular—can function either to moder ate other communication or to stand alone as com munication messages. Most of the studies of gesture in this line tend to take a synchronic approach. Several other literature reviews illustrate this. Willems and Hagoort (2007) review the neuroscience literature on cospeech gestures to explore how ges ture links to other communication channels. Wagner, Malisz, & Kopp (2014) focus their review on current understanding of “manual and head gesture form and function, of the principle functional interactions between gesture and speech aiding communication, transporting meaning, and producing speech. Furthermore, we present an overview of research on
8 — VOLUME 38 (2019) NO. 1 COMMUNICATION RESEARCH TRENDS
temporal speechgesture synchrony, including the special role of prosody in speechgesture alignment” (p. 209). They also include material on research methods and tools utilized in gesture analysis. Kipp, Neff, & Albrecht (2007) offer a detailed look at an “annotation scheme for conversational gestures” while Kong, Law, Kwan, Lai, & Lam (2015) report on a coding system that allows annotations; they present the resulting database of speech and gesture based on those annotations. Gawne and Kelly (2014) “look at whether gesture categorizations have any resonance with the ways that people other than ges ture researchers approach bodily movement,” finding that nonexperts had a broader understanding of ges ture and spontaneously grouped gestures according to form or function (p. 216).
Gestures can and do convey meaning; are they simply signs? Can they also function as an index or a symbol? Kendon (2008) offers an introduction to the historical roots of the gesturesign distinction, connect ing it to structuralist linguistics, a formalist model of language, and a confusion with sign language. Poggi (2008) examines gestures in terms of iconicity, distin guishing stable gestures from spontaneous ones. Streeck (2008) takes up the idea of iconic gestures, ask ing how people represent things in the world. After reviewing prior work on gestural representation, he offers a heuristic based on the activities of human hands: “hands depict by enacting their familiar, ‘real world’ capacities as users, transporters, experiencers, assemblers, molders, and shapers of things” (p. 285). MassonCarro, Goudbeek, and Krahmer (2017) explore how different input sources (prior knowledge, the visual presence of an object, a written description) affect the production of iconic gestures; among other things they found that speakers strategically adapt their use of iconic gestures to the task at hand. Where others examine gestures’ describing things, Cooperrider and Núñez (2009) investigate how gestures represent time. Noting that American English speakers typically ges ture time as moving from left to right, they “suggest a classification of American English speakers’ transver sal temporal gestures into five types— placing, point ing, durationmarking, bridging, and animating” and offer ideas for experimental and crosscultural studies of the idea (p. 181). In an even more specific look at the meaning of gestures, Anderson (2014), employing Goffman’s idea of loose coupling, examines taxi hail ing and the levels of meaning present in this seeming ly simple process. Jerca (2018) turns to indexical
meaning in her analysis of American footballers’ “tak ing a knee” as a social protest.
A great number of the recently published studies explore how gestures complement verbal expression. Wagner, Malisz, and Kopp (2014) introduce a special issue of the journal Speech Communication with an overview of how gesture and speech interact, focusing on form and function, synchrony, and prosody. They also “provide a summary of tools and data available for gesture analysis and describe speechgesture interac tion models and simulations in technical systems” (p. 209). Researchers have explored a number of permuta tions of speechgesture interactions: the coordination of gesture with gaze (Lund, 2007); the ability to see the conversation partner (Kimbara, 2008); the conditions under which addressees attend to gestures (Gullberg & Kita, 2009); the timing of addressee focus on the face vs. cospeech gestures (Beattie, Webster, & Ross, 2010); the kind of information in the speech (Hostetter & Skirving, 2011); the amount of repetition in the spo ken interaction (Hoetjes, Koolen, Goudbeek, Krahmer, & Swerts, 2015); temporal, structural, and pragmatic synchrony with paralinguistic characteristics (Loehr, 2012); the temporal distance of the topic, that is, dis cussing a close future event vs. a distant future event (Wessler & Hansen, 2017); the interaction of gesture with intonation and gaze (CameronFaulkner, 2014); the substitution of gesture for motion words (Chui, 2011); and the effects of other variables such as age and communicative ability (Alamillo, Colletta, & Guidetti, 2013). The speech partners can also influence each other’s gestures through shared knowledge of a topic (Holler & Stevens, 2007), through mock impo liteness (McKinnon & Prieto, 2014), or through the use of negation (Harrison, 2014). The purpose of the dis course, as for example in a closing argument in a court case, also influences the use and perception of co speech gestures (Matoesian & Enola Gilbert, 2016).
A number of researchers used different experi mental procedures to examine the relationships between speech and gesture. Skipper, Goldin Meadow, Nusbaum, and Small, (2007) used neu roimaging data to explore how the brain processes dif ferent kinds of cospeech gestures, finding support for semantic retrieval theories. Through a series of exper iments Cutica and Bucciarelli (2015) found that ges tural information uptake is nondeterministic. Using the Bielefeld Speech and Gesture Alignment Corpus, Kok (2017) explored which classes of words were more likely to be accompanied by gestures— “unspe
COMMUNICATION RESEARCH TRENDS VOLUME 38 (2019) NO. 1 — 9
cific spatial lexemes, various deictic words, and parti cles that express difficulty in word retrieval or formu lation” (p. 1). Holler, Shovelton, and Beattie (2009) varied the viewing conditions (facetoface vs. video recordings) to measure the amount of information expressed by iconic hand gestures, finding that the facetoface setting proved more effective. Flack, Naylor, and Leavens (2018) video recorded naturalis tic interactions to track how and how frequently peo ple pointed when giving directions.
Gestures can help people think and, indeed, help to organize one’s train of thought (Cutica & Bucciarelli, 2011). Hostetter, Alibali, and Kita (2007) found support for the Information Packaging Hypothesis, which “holds that gestures play a role in conceptualizing infor mation for speaking. According to this view, speakers will gesture more when describing difficulttoconcep tualize information than when describing easytocon ceptualize information” (p. 313). Similarly, Pine, Gurney, and Fletcher (2010) experimentally supported the semantic specificity hypothesis, “whereby a gesture is integrally associated with the semantic properties of the word it accompanies. Where those semantic proper ties include a high motor component the likelihood of a gesture being produced is increased, irrespective of communication demands” (p. 169). People also use ges tures more frequently to assist narratives where size or relative position form important elements (Beattie, Webster, & Ross, 2014)
Mutual knowledge affects the frequency of ges ture. Where interlocutors share knowledge, they use fewer gestures (Holler & Stevens, 2007). On the other hand, gestures help to create shared mental models (Cutica & Bucciarelli, 2011), something that Singer, Radinsky, and Goldman (2008) also found with 6th grade students working on a science project. Gesture helps with recall: Cook, Yip, and GoldinMeadow (2010) supported the hypothesis “that gesturing during encoding led to better recall, even when the amount of speech produced during encoding was controlled. Gesturing during encoding improved recall whether the speaker chose to gesture spontaneously or was instruct ed to gesture” (p. 465). Galati and Samuel (2011) also produced experimental support that gestures assist peo ple in recalling the gist of a narrative. Gesture also plays a role in activating visuospatial working memory (Smithson & Nicoladis, 2014). Church, Garber, and Rogalski’s (2007) experiments led them to conclude that gesture “might have a different status in memory than speech” (p. 137).
In addition to expressing ideas and aiding recall, gestures help to manage conversations. Kok, Bergmann, Cienki, and Kopp (2016) offers a theoreti cal model of how gestures serve multiple functions, including conversational management and semantic support. GoldinMeadow (2010) found empirical sup port for both: Learners used gestures to signal readi ness in instructional settings and to support their think ing. Arnold (2012), who also focused on an instruc tional setting, found that gestures organized the inter actions of the speakers and structured the organization of the conversation. Chui (2009) describes the role of gesture to maintain conversational coherence and to regulate turntaking among speakers, something that Yang (2011) also documents in the practices of Mandarin Chinese. In the context of an art auction, Heath and Luff (2007) considered how gestures pace the interactions. Conversational interruptions elicit their own sets of gestures and other nonverbal respons es, often differentiated by gender or power relations (Farley, Ashcraft, Stasson, & Nusbaum, 2010).
Finally, several researchers explore more techni cal aspects of gestures. Bressem and Ladewig (2011) map out gesture phases by tracking the articulation of gestures. Feller and Gellatly (2016) experimentally determined that gesture processing is obligatory—the brain cannot ignore even irrelevant gestures. Givens (2016b) explores how the neurological system process es the palm up gesture. The gesture can “express degrees of emotional helplessness, cognitive uncertain ty, prosodic emphasis, and social deference. By them selves or in combination with other hand movements— such as reaching, showing, and pointing—palmup cues are used to begin speaking turns, ask questions, request favors, and share personal opinions, feelings, and moods” (p. 235). Parrill (2010) explores how ges tures establish viewpoint in narratives.
C. Touch Many studies of touch have noted that “touching or
holding someone by the arm while asking for something increases our chances of having our request fulfilled” (Dolinski, 2010, p. 179). However, Dolinski reports experimental evidence that indicates that cultural differ ences affect this behavior. Similarly, Webb and Peck (2015) report individual differences, something that they studied with the aid of the “comfort with interpersonal touch” scale. Among other things, they distinguish between initiating touch and receiving touch and note differences in judging touch based on approach or avoid

ance situations. Men often associate touch by women with courtship behavior and respond more positively (Guéguen, 2010). In experiments utilizing a mechanical device that replicated handshakes, Bailenson and Yee (2007) found that “for any given participant, a metric that took into account position, angle, speed, and accel eration of the hand movements correlated highly within individuals across two handshakes”; that gender predict ed specific metrics, and that an “interaction [existed] between gender and mimicry, such that male participants liked people who mimicked their handshakes more than female participants did” (p. 225).
D. Paralinguistics Nonverbal qualifiers occur in spoken language
through paralinguistic cues such as tone, volume, pitch, or even silence (Jõemets, 2014; Acheson, 2008). Volume, along with conversational distance, can affect people’s perception of bullying (Pavlich, Rains, & Segrin, 2017). Intonations vary by language, playing different roles (Aoju, 2009) as does silence (Bruneau, 2008); both can complicate second language learning. Vocal qualities express emotion and to such a degree that experimental participants could distinguish between spontaneous expressions of emotion and those of actors (Juslin, Laukka, & Bänziger, 2018). The major types of vocal expression appears stable over a number of languages (Anikin, Bååth, & Persson, 2018).
Paralinguistic qualifiers even occur in written language—a phenomenon more apparent as people carry on “conversations” via written media like email or social media. Richards and Fink (2017) found that ink color influenced judgments, with red ink evoking more negative emotions.
People simultaneously communicate both verbal ly and nonverbally and usually congruently, though occasionally they send mixed or incongruous mes sages. GrebelskyLichtman (2014, 2017) studied par entchild interactions to test a theoretical framework on how individuals decide which channel to favor. GrebelskyLichtman (2014) found that young children (4 years) typically tend to congruent communication patterns, though they did exhibit noncongruent pat terns, especially if the parent showed noncongruent communication. GrebelskyLichtman (2017) proposes a twostage model of expressiveness and responsive ness that identifies context and interaction in the process, including communicator gender. Among the findings she reports that boys responded more than girls to the nonverbal channel and that children
“attach[ed] dominance to the channel with the positive content” (p. 647).
E. Body Humans quickly make inferences about one
another from the body (body shape, posture, move ment). In fact, popular culture often refers to gesture, touch, and expression collectively as “body lan guage,”with books promising to teach one how to “read a person like a book” (Nierenberg & Calero, 1971/2001). A quick online search will reveal dozens of web sites and blogs offering simple techniques for revealing hidden meanings. This review will not directly address these materials but will instead men tion a few more detailed and original studies that focus on the body as a locus on nonverbal communi cation.
Based on three experiments, Bahns, Crandall, Gillath, and Wilmer (2016) concluded “Nonverbal cues in the torso communicate information about similarity of attitudes, behavior, and personality; the center of the body plays a surprisingly central role in earlystage person perception and attraction” (p. 151).
Andersson (2018) presents an unusual and quite interesting approach to nonverbal communication in his history of “body language” in the 19th century. He focuses the work on what we can learn from nonver bal communication about people and their history, but in so doing he provides information about nonverbal behaviors, setting the whole work in the context of “the culture of nonverbal communication in the 19th and early 20th centuries” (p. 23). He explains the project in this way:
A historical study of the body and, more specif ically, of body language, is a contradiction in terms, for the historian cannot observe the sub ject directly. And yet any history that leaves out the way people carry themselves, or dress or devote themselves to various physical activities, is bound to be incomplete. The human body is, in perhaps the most obvious way, at the mercy of the forces of nature at the same time as it is a tool of social identification and cultural adaptation. (p. 10)
Andersson calls attention to bodily poses and gestures, using photographs from the era as evidence. Chapters include examinations of both posed portraits and more spontaneous urban photos, with case studies of people with walking sticks, with hands in pockets, with arms akimbo, and so on.

5. Contexts
Most of the contexts here examine deal with the generally interpersonal area of communication. However, Todd and Funder (2016) remind us of the intrapersonal contexts for nonverbal expression. They offer a history of the role of personality, outlining the impact on nonverbal expression and reception of key personality indicators such as extroversion, neuroti cism, agreeableness, conscientiousness, and openness to experience (p. 167).
A. Interpersonal interaction Nonverbal behaviors help to define and manage
interpersonal relationships, from their very beginnings to their ends. People learn how to process social signals and then carry them out, often without conscious reflec tion. Burgoon, MagnenatThalmann, Pantic, and Vinciarelli (2017) provide a detailed discussion of social signal processing, including chapters on the dif ference between social and biological nonverbal sig nals; signals conveyed via the voice, facial expression, gesture, and bodily aesthetics; signaling deception; con flict signals; signaling via computermediated commu nication; designing robotic systems for social signaling; and using various measurement tools to assist with or automate the study of social signaling. Their book aims to connect what we know about human nonverbal behavior with humanmachine interaction. Vicaria and Dickens (2016) offer a metaanalysis of nonverbal stud ies on interpersonal coordination. “Topics discussed include producing prosocial behaviors and facilitating harmonious interactions through interpersonal coordi nation; measuring its effects on intrapersonal behavior such as mood, need to belong, and interpersonal such as prosocial behavior outcomes; and robust positive effects of interpersonal coordination” (p. 335).
Relationships form the context for most commu nication, and scholars have examined nonverbal behaviors at different stages of relationship, in differ ent kinds of relationship (but especially in romantic and sexual relationships), and in the media employed in relationships. Dohen, Schwartz, and Bailly (2010) introduce a special issue of Speech Communication that reviews work on facetoface relationships. Stressing that all communication involves both verbal and nonverbal components, they note that the research
examines the setting of communication, the tasks ambitioned by the interlocutors, the general environ ment, and the roles of each partner. They write, “The present issue aims at synthesizing the most recent developments in this topic considering its various aspects from complementary perspectives: cognitive and neurocognitive (multisensory and perceptuomotor interactions), linguistic (dialogic facetoface interac tions), paralinguistic (emotions and affects, turntak ing, mutual attention), computational (animated con versational agents, multimodal interacting communi cation systems)” (p. 477). Prinsen and Punyanunt Carter (2010) offer an overview of nonverbal behav iors at different stages in an interpersonal relationship: “casual dating, exclusively dating, long term relation ship, cohabitation while in a long term relationship, and marriage” (p. 1), recording changing patterns of the kind and timing of the nonverbal expressions.
Farley (2014) reports a study of nonverbal reac tions to an attractive stranger, asking about their types and functions in terms of relationship status, finding that mimicry of nonverbal signals occurs unconscious ly and works as a relationship maintenance mecha nism. Other studies examined people’s ability to judge romantic interest from nonverbal stimuli (Place, Todd, Penke, & Asendorpf, 2009), the effects of a woman’s smile on men’s courtship behavior (Guéguen, 2008), interpretation of hand holding (Bodie & Villaume, 2008), flirting styles (Watkins & Hall, 2014; Hall & Xing, 2015), cues that lead to sexual encounters (La France, 2010), and nonverbal components of discus sions of HIV status before heterosexual encounters (Bowleg, Valera, Teti, & Tschann, 2010).
Asking about nonverbal aspects of maintaining relationships, Spott, Pyle, and PunyanuntCarter (2010) found that the “longevity of the relationship and overall relationship satisfaction . . . are positively correlated to the use of positive nonverbal behaviors” (p. 29). Doohan (2007) examined the nonverbal behaviors of spouses as they listened as their partners described rela tional difficulties to a counselor, finding that “both hus bands and wives enacted nonverbal listening behaviors that demonstrated negative emotion and nonverbal involvement. Results also indicated that “displays of negative emotion predicted relational dissatisfaction for
husbands” but not for wives (p. 24). Samp and Monahan (2009) added alcohol to the mix of discussing relational problems, finding that intoxication led to more agitated and less positive nonverbal expression.
A number of other studies focused on samesex involvement. Gore (2009) experimentally asked individ uals to interact with a samesex confederate who varied levels of selfdisclosure. “Results revealed that men attended to verbal information to evaluate the appropri ateness of their own personal disclosure, whereas women attended to both verbal and nonverbal cues to evaluate the conversation partner and the appropriate ness of their own personal disclosure” (p. 279). Knöfler and Imhof (2007) asked whether sexual orientation affects nonverbal behaviors, finding “that in dyads which include a homosexual person nonverbal behavior is different from that displayed in dyads consisting of heterosexual participants only in terms of selftouch, body posture, body orientation, and gaze” (p. 189). Cassidy and his colleagues have examined the nonverbal culture of social networking sites aimed at the LGBTQ community, proposing a measure they called “participa tory reluctance” due to the perceptions of the purpose of the sites (Cassidy, 2016; Cassidy & Wang, 2018).
To better accomplish these kinds of study, sever al have proposed different research methods and tools. Fujiwara and Daibo (2014) offer a combination of video recording and software analysis to count and code distinct nonverbal behaviors. Won, Bailenson, Stathatos, and Dai (2014) report a study in which they used the Kinect computer vision algorithm to measure the strength of an association between nonverbal syn chrony and interpersonal creativity
B. Gender Nonverbal studies have long noted gender differ
ences in expression and interpretation (Nelson & Brown, 2012). La France, Henningsen, Oates, and Shaw’s (2009) metaanalysis of men’s and women’s judgments of flirting behaviors notes the prior work “suggest[s] that men decode verbal and nonverbal communication cues differently than do women, and this difference results in men’s tendency to rate indi viduals more highly in levels of these socialsexual constructs than do women” (p. 367). Their own re examination of the data found consistent, but different, effects on the ratings of female and male participants. Farris, Treat, Viken, and McFall (2008) suspect that something other than gender differences in perceiving sexual intent occurs. Their study confirmed that “men
were more likely than women to misperceive friendli ness as sexual interest, but they also were quite likely to misperceive sexual interest as friendliness” (p. 349), a result that indicates difficulties in interpretation rather than perception. In an examination of Mandarin Chinese speakers, Yang (2010) found clear differences in the gestures of female and male speakers, though each group could use the other’s gestures, which Yang argues may have intercultural implications. Bailey and Kelly (2015) found gender differences in yet a third area: power hierarchies. Their study varied the poses of male and female confederates in order to elicit ratings of power. Katsumi, Dolcos, Kim, Sung, and Dolcos (2017) noted differences on the appraisals of hand shakes in social interaction, differences they attributed to both gender and cultural background
C. Health and medical Nonverbal communication plays an important
role in health communication and medical diagnostics. The former area attends to patientcaregiver interac tions while the latter assists medical personnel in eval uating symptoms. Introductory texts on health commu nication typically provide an overview of the various communication situations (providerpatient, medical team communication) as well as information of verbal and nonverbal approaches, gender, and intercultural issues (Pagano, 2017).
One of the more difficult communication tasks for medical staff involves presenting negative medical news. Cavallaro (2017) offers a general discussion of the issue, addressing communication with patients and family members; the book includes material on non verbal aspects of those conversations. Henry, Fuhrel Forbis, Rogers, and Eggly’s (2012) metaanalysis of studies of medical staff and patients’ nonverbal behav ior indicated that “both clinician warmth and clinician listening were associated with greater patient satisfac tion. . . . Physician negativity was not related to patient satisfaction . . . but greater nurse negativity was associ ated with less patient satisfaction” (p. 297). They rec ommend that clinical training include modules on non verbal expression of warmth and listening. D’Agostino and Bylund (2014) also offer an overview of medical thinking in the move to more patientcentered care and then offer a study of nonverbal accommodation in an effort to improve physicianpatient communication. Several years earlier Mast (2007) argued that physician training should incorporate nonverbal training, point ing out that “The way the physician behaves nonver
COMMUNICATION RESEARCH TRENDS VOLUME 38 (2019) NO. 1 — 13
bally affects patient outcomes, such as, for instance, patient satisfaction. Affiliative nonverbal behavior (e.g., eye gaze and proximity) of the physician is relat ed to higher patient satisfaction” (p. 315). These kinds of nonverbal sensitivity also lead to an increase of “patient enablement” and better care outcomes (Pawlikowska, Zhang, Griffiths, van Dalen, & van der Vleuten, 2012). Using the Critical Role Theory, Ledford, Canzona, and Cafferty (2015) examine differ ent contexts of medical consultations and the roles patients expect from clinical personnel. Physicians used more appropriate gestures in situations with clear er role definitions (p. 36), which led to increased patient satisfaction (p. 37).Where patients expressed mixedrole expectations, both physician response and patient satisfaction decreased.
Many medical conversations include discussions of pain and much of the key information comes across through both verbal and nonverbal descriptions. Rowbotham, Holler, Lloyd, and Wearden (2012) sought to understand the balance between the verbal and nonverbal channels though a semantic feature analysis; they found that medical personnel need to attend more to the nonverbal gestures of the pain expe rience. Rowbotham and her colleagues also present a followup study evaluating different tools to assess the expression of pain and describing the role of cospeech gestures (Rowbotham, Lloyd, Holler, & Wearden, 2015). Other research does show that patients can more accurately describe pain, depending on the nonverbal behavior or medical staff (Ruben & Hall, 2016). Supportive nonverbal behavior does influence the sub jective experience of pain. Ruben, BlanchHartigan, and Hall (2017) present experimental evidence that “Participants interacting with the high nonverbal sup port physicians showed increased pain tolerance and a reduction in the amount of pain expressed compared to those interacting with the low nonverbal support physi cians. For subjectively rated pain, a gender difference existed such that for men, high physician nonverbal support decreased pain ratings and memory of pain, but for women, high physician nonverbal support increased pain ratings and memory of pain” (p. 970).
A more specialized aspect of this communication arises when health care workers need an interpreter to facilitate interactions with, for example, nonEnglish speaking patients. Miletich (2015) points out the importance of nonverbal sensitivity in these interac tions and the added training needed for interpreters.
Other research indicates the importance of non verbal immediacy when medical personnel request tis sue donation. In addition to persuasive strategies (appeals to altruism, for example), requesters’ nonver bal behaviors and family members’ nonverbal immedi acy predicted the likelihood of donation (Siminoff, Traino, & Gordon, 2011). Similar demonstrations of the importance of nonverbal communication appeared in studies of those recruiting participants for clinical trials (Morgan, Occa, Mouton, & Potter, 2017).
Nonverbal cues can assist clinicians in diagnosis. Courbalay, Deroche, and Descarreau (2017), noting that nonverbal pain behaviors assist in estimating lower back pain, report a study of whether “facial expressions and guarding behaviors (including speed of the move ment and lifting strategy) contribute to the prediction of pain intensity and disability in patients” with chron ic lower back pain and the degree to which clinicians attend to such actions (p. 289). Decoding facial expres sions and the emotions indicated assists in diagnosing depression in adolescents, though some gender differ ences emerged (Beek & Dubas, 2008a, 2008b). Limits in processing facial expressions of emotion also appear in adolescents with schizotypal disorders (Wickline, Nowicki, Bollini, & Walker, 2012).
Nonverbal communication plays a central role in both the communication behaviors of and the treat ments for people suffering from aphasia. Rose, Raymer, Lanyon, and Attard (2013) provide a review of 23 studies of gesture treatments for those suffering from aphasia caused by strokes.
Rose (2013) introduces a special issue of the jour nal, Aphasiology, which offers a detailed overview of the state of the research. She offers this summary:
The first article by de Ruiter and de Beer (2013) presents an erudite account of the main compet ing theories of gesture, speech and language interaction, setting the stage for three studies that follow (Cocks, Dipper, Pritchard, & Morgan, 2013; Hogrefe, Ziegler, Wiesmayer, Weidinger, & Goldenberg, 2013; Sekine, Rose, Foster, Attard, & Lanyon, 2013) examining gesture pro duction in aphasia and the participant variables that impact on production patterns. Two studies then follow (Marshall et al., 2013; Rose, Raymer, Lanyon, & Attard, 2013) that examine gesture as a therapeutic modality for restoration of language function and communication com pensation. The final study (Rogalsky et al., 2013) examines the brainbehavior relationships that underpin gesture comprehension, challeng

ing accounts of the role of mirror neurons in action comprehension. (pp. 1010–1011).
Building on the well known phenomena that peo ple with aphasia try to communicate in every alterna tive way to speaking, Rautakoski (2011) presents a research study of how those with aphasia and their partners perceive their communicative attempts. “They also perceive that the use of these different communi cation methods can further be increased by training and by guiding the communication partner to facilitate and support the use of them” (p. 344). The kinds of gestures used by those with aphasia can possibly provide infor mation about the damage to the language system and thus help in determining treatment options: for exam ple, iconic gestures (Cocks, Dipper, Middleton, & Morgan, 2011) or coverbal gestures (Carlomagno, Zulian, Razzano, De Mercurio, & Marini, 2013). The use of iconic gestures by aphasia patients can also pro vide information about the relationship between spo ken language and gesture, providing a theoretical basis for treatment (Dipper, Pritchard, Morgan, & Cocks, 2015). Several have proposed treatment options involving nonverbal communication for those with severe aphasia (Nykänen, Nyrkkö, Nykänen, Brunou, & Rautakoski, 2013; de Beer, Hogrefe, de Ruiter, 2018). Others have more generally worked to measure the reliability and validity of the instruments used to measure verbal and nonverbal communication among aphasiacs (van der Meulen, van de SandtKoenderman, Duivenvoorden, & Ribbers, 2010).
Some brain imaging studies have mapped injuries to specific parts of the brain to impairment of the use of spontaneous gestures (Göksun, Lehet, Malykhina, & Chatterjee, 2015). Mol, Krahmer, van de Sandt Koendermanb, Oetting, and Blake (2013) found that the ability to use gestures degraded with more severe aphasia, suggesting a link between verbal language and cospeech gesture. A later study by van Nispen, van de SandtKoenderman, Sekine, Krahmer, and Rose (2017) attended to gesture types, asking whether the gestures provided information absent from (“essential”) or com plementary to the verbal information, find that about 20% of gestures were essential—pointing, iconic ges tures, and emblematic gestures. Rose, Mok, and Sekine (2017) further demonstrated the effectiveness of pan tomime gestures in increasing message comprehen sion, a finding confirmed by an experiment conducted by van Nispen, Mieke, van de SandtKoenderman, and Krahmer (2018). Based on experimental work, Cocks, Byrne, Pritchard, Morgan, and Dipper (2018) warn,
though, that not all gestures work in conversations with patients with aphasia; they suggest preparing conversa tional partners with information about classes of ges ture. Other research groups report progress in teaching patients the use of gestures in treatment protocols (Johnson, Taub, Harper, Wade, Bowman, Bishop McKay, Haddad, Mark, & Uswatte, 2014).
Other groups have investigated whether nonver bal expression decreases along with verbal abilities in those suffering from Alzheimer’s disease. Hydén (2011) investigated general noisemaking, finding “The analysis of selective examples shows that noises may be fitted into the conversational interaction to a certain degree and in some instances is also responsive to interaction” (p. 135). Another group found that com plementary gestures help caregivers communicate with Alzheimer’s patients, but with mixed results; some strategies proved more successful, typically those with low cognitive complexity—one direction at a time, closedended question, etc. (Wilson, Rochon, Mihailidis, & Leonarda, 2012). Ellis and Astell (2018) present a model of adaptive interaction for those deal ing with people with dementia. They write, “this book is not about trying to ‘fix’ people who have dementia. While we explain the many challenges individuals with dementia face, we see that the solutions lie in enabling the people around them to make adaptations to the ways in which they communicate and to include the people with dementia as fellow human beings in the social world” (p. 16). Their system of “adaptive inter action” describes a nonverbal approach.
Other medical studies of nonverbal behavior have examined the development trajectories of children with specific language impairment—“the presence of lan guage deficits in the context of adequate nonverbal skills”—indicating different patterns of nonverbal skills (ContiRamsden, St Clair, Pickles, Durkin, Oetting, & Hadley, 2012, p. 1716) and the ability of children with Fragile X syndrome to comprehend gestures (Thurman, Kover, Brown, Harvey, & Abbeduto, 2017).
D. Children Many of the studies of nonverbal behavior in chil
dren originate in medical or psychological studies, either for diagnosis or for treatment plans The largest group of such work addresses children with autism spectrum disorders. “Autism is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by the early onset of impair ments in reciprocal social interaction and communica tion and restricted repetitive behaviors or interests”
COMMUNICATION RESEARCH TRENDS VOLUME 38 (2019) NO. 1 — 15
(Chiang, Soong, Lin, & Rogers, 2008, p. 1898). Given the links between verbal and nonverbal communica tion, the role of nonverbal behaviors in social interac tion, and the importance of gaze in coordinating com municative attention, many research groups turn to nonverbal behaviors in children as a diagnostic tool and also as a way to more comprehensively understand human communication in general.
Nonverbal behavior offers insights into normal development in children and helps to establish devel opmental profiles for atrisk children. Crais, Watson, and Baranek (2009) offer a set of tools to assess prelinguistic gestures. Sowden, Perkins, and Clegg (2008) place this communication development into a larger context:
Research suggests that initially gesture and speech form two independent systems which combine together temporally and semantically before chil dren enter the twoword period of language devel opment. However, little is known about gesture development in children’s disordered speech. . . . Early indications suggest that whilst both gesture and speech development is delayed in children with Autistic Spectrum Disorders (ASD), the developmental trajectory is the same as for typi cally developing children. (p. 804)
“Joint attention,” skills used to share experiences with others, describes another area of delayed development. Researchers have described when such behaviors emerge in children as well as the markers for them (Paparella, Goods, Freeman, & Kasari, 2011). Maljaars, Noens, Jansen, Scholte, and van Berckelaer Onnes (2011) provide a baseline understanding of joint attention by comparing children with normal develop ment patterns to those with autism spectrum disorders:
Results indicated that in typically developing children the proportion of communication for the purpose of joint attention was much higher than for behavior regulation, whereas in children with autism the opposite pattern was seen. Low functioning nonverbal children with autism mainly communicated for behavior regulation and not or only rarely for declarative purposes. Generally, this subgroup used the least complex forms to communicate. Lowfunctioning verbal children with autism differed from typically developing children only in the rate, not in the proportion of communication for specific func tions. Combinations of three different commu nicative forms were used by verbal children with
autism less frequently than by typically develop ing children. (p. 601)
Other baseline studies explore how different areas of development influence the use of gestures (Manwaring, Mead, Swineford, & Thurm, 2017), the use or nonuse of gaze (Wiklund, 2012), baseline com parisons among children with autism spectrum disorder and other language disorders (Philofsky, Fidler, & Hepburn, 2017), the calibration of measurement tools (Ellawadi & Weismer, 2014)
Other research groups look specifically at one or another kinds of nonverbal behavior: cospeech ges tures (Sowden, Clegg, & Perkins, 2013), hand ges tures that refer to absent objects (So, Lui, Wong, & Sit, 2015),
The study of nonverbal behavior in children has led to treatment options for those with autism spectrum disorder. Ingersoll and Lalonde (2010) report some success with “reciprocal imitation training,” a kind of behavioral intervention in the context of play. Similarly, Franco, Davis, and Davis (2013) also based successful interventions on play. RussoPonsaran, EvansSmith, Johnson, Russo, and McKown (2016) successfully modified a commercially available facial emotion training tool to teach high functioning autism spectrum children to improve their nonverbal abilities to recognize the emotions of others.
Researchers know that gesture and language go together in childhood development. In fact, several studies indicate “that child gesture at 14 months was a significant predictor of vocabulary at 42 months” (Wray, Saunders, McGuire, Cousins, & Norburya, 2017, p. 969). Wray and her colleagues concluded that gesturing is important in language development and examined how children with language impairment compensate with gestures. In another study, Wray, Norbury, and Alcock (2016) indicate that “Specific lan guage impairment (SLI) is diagnosed when language is significantly below chronological age expectations in the absence of other developmental disorders, sensory impairments, or global developmental delays” (p. 174). In addition, “impaired grammar and phonology are considered the outstanding clinical features. However, children with SLI may also face various lexicalseman tic difficulties, including problems with receptive and expressive vocabulary, lexical processing, and word learning” (Vogt & Kauschke, 2017, p. 3213). While both research groups note a connection between these two communication systems, Vogt and Kauschke (2017) found that while teaching both typically devel
16 — VOLUME 38 (2019) NO. 1 COMMUNICATION RESEARCH TRENDS
oping children and those with SLI with iconic co speech gestures helped them learn new words, the tech nique helped the “children with SLI exploit the non verbal information provided through iconic gestures to build deep semantic knowledge.” (p. 3224). SLI chil dren also benefitted from gestures that enhanced prag matic communication (Kirk, Pine, & Ryder, 2011). However, other studies found that using verbal strate gies and nonverbal cues did not help SLI school chil dren’s performance (Eichorn, Marton, Campanelli, Scheuer, 2014). Lüke, Ritterfeld, Grimminger, Liszkowski, and Rohlfing (2017) reinforced the diag nostic findings as they determined that children with delayed language will show a slower acquisition of fin ger pointing gestures. Through empirical observations O’Neill and Chiat (2015) distinguished children with “receptiveexpressive language delay (R/ELD) and expressiveonly language delay (ELD)” based on their use of gestures, finding the former group weaker in both gesture and comprehension, thus suggesting another diagnostic avenue in working with children with delayed language (p. 1319).
Similarly the spontaneous use of gestures in young children can help in diagnosing other language deficits, such as those caused by sex chromosome tri somies (Zampini, Draghi, Silibello, Dall’Ara, Rigamonti, Suttora, Zanchi, Salerni, Lalatta, & Vizziello, 2018). Children with Down Syndrome (DS) and Williams Syndrome (WS) also show differences in understanding the intent of some communicative ges tures, with the DS group better able to interpret gaze (John & Mervis, 2010). Compared to typically develop ing children, DS children show delayed development of pragmatic communication, though their nonverbal com munication is stronger than their verbal skills, an obser vation leading Smith, Næss, and Jarrold (2017) to rec ommend more emphasis on the components of prag matic communication in early school years for DS chil dren. Thanks to brain plasticity, twoyear old children with brain injuries show the same gesturespeech link as other children, though more so for simple sentences than for complex ones (Özçalişkan, Levine, Goldin Meadow, Bavin, & Naigles, 2013).
Others have directed their research to typically developing children. Some focus on parentchild inter action. GrebelskyLichtman (2014) explored congruent or incongruent uses of verbal and nonverbal channels in order to develop a model to assess communication pat terns. She continued refining the model by looking at parental responses to children’s nonverbal incongru
ence (2015). Schofield, Parke, Castañeda, and Coltrane (2008) measured gaze between parents and children, noting some intercultural differences. Attention to the face provides insight into others’ emotions, and children learn to recognize emotion from watching their parents. Dunsmore, Her, Halberstadt, and PerezRivera (2009) explored some of the variables involved in the process, including parental attitudes toward emotions. The abili ty to identify facial expression improves with age throughout childhood, varying as well with the intensi ty of emotion (Montirosso, Peverelli, Frigerio, Crespi, & Borgatti, 2010). Researchers have established that adults can more quickly identify angry expressions than calm ones, often based on the Vshaped brow; LoBue and Larson (2010) conducted similar studies with pre school children, finding similar results. They attribute this bias to the danger signals reflected in the angry face. Mui, Goudbeek, Swerts, and Hovasapian (2017) found cultural and social factors in children’s smiles while playing, comparing Dutch and Chinese children. Goodwin and Alim (2010) observed how sets of ges tures worked to create identities in preadolescent peer groups by harnessing cultural tropes.
Many research groups have examined children and gestures: how infants’ understand gestures directed to others (Gräfenhain, Behne, Carpenter, & Tomasello, 2009); how gestures can reflect a toddler’s learning state (Capone, 2007); how 18 to 30month old tod dlers use a head shake as a gesture as part of their lan guage (Andrén, 2014); how 16 to 20month old chil dren in different cultures use gestures as they acquire language (Jensen de López, 2010); how children change cospeech gestures as they age (Colletta, Pellenq, & Guidetti, 2010); how children use gestures in during tasks (Pine, Lufkin, Kirk, Messer, 2007); how young children (ages 3–4) differ from and resemble adults in their use of gestures to describe a travel route (Austin & Sweller, 2018); how children’s use of ges tures predicts their narrative storytelling skills (Demir, Levine, & GoldinMeadow, 2015); how and when chil dren begin to use gestures to clarify ambiguous pro nouns, acquiring this skill at around age 7 (Goodrich Smith & Hudson Kam, 2015); and how even older chil dren (7–9 years) cannot filter out misleading gestures, overrelying on them (Kirk, Gurney, Edwards, & Dodimead, 2015).
E. Education and pedagogy Immediacy. Perhaps as a consequence of the
location of research, the use of nonverbal behaviors in
COMMUNICATION RESEARCH TRENDS VOLUME 38 (2019) NO. 1 — 17
educational settings has received consistent attention, particularly in relation to “immediacy.” “Nonverbal immediacy refers to those behaviors that reduce physi cal or psychological distance between communicators” (Malachowski & Martin, 2011, p. 142.). These studies have generated a fairly robust knowledge set that indi cates that nonverbal immediacy behaviors strongly cor relate with student engagement in classes (Dixson, Greenwell, RogersStacy, Weister, & Lauer, 2017, pp. 37–38). Similar results occurred in Pakistan (Hassan, 2007), India (Shams, Khan, Zainab, Shah, & Farid, 2016), and Spain (FortanetGómez, RuizMadrid, 2014), leading to advice that teachers receive training for more effective use of nonverbal behaviors in the classroom. In public speaking classes in the United States, Malachowski and Martin (2011) found positive links “among instructors’ perceptions of their nonverbal immediacy, confirmation, caring, and perceived student nonverbal responsiveness in the classroom. In addition, a negative relationship was found between instructors’ perceptions of their CA [communication apprehension] and perceived student nonverbal responsiveness” (p. 141). Instructor nonverbal immediacy also had a posi tive impact on ninthgrade Hispanic students’ affective learning, “regardless of the level of feedback sensitivity provided,” thus aiding overall learning (Martin & Mottet, 2011, p. 1). Nonverbal immediacy works together with other variables to affect student learn ing—both affective and cognitive. Comadena, Hunt, and Simonds (2007) found a relationship between teacher clarity and teacher immediacy and between teacher immediacy and teacher caring behaviors.
Communication researchers have long known that students make very quick judgements about teach ers early in a school term. In exploring the possible basis for such judgements, Horan, Houser, Goodboy, and Frymier (2011) found that nonverbal immediacy plays a significant role in students’ predicted outcome value of courses and correlates with other predictors such as communication skills, prosocial power use, and confirmation (p. 80). Nonverbal immediacy also mod erates a negative impact of poor or ineffective instruc tor communication (Sidelinger, Nyeste, Madlock, Pollak, & Wilkinson, 2015). However, instructor non verbal immediacy did not significantly limit student texting in class, with Wei and Wang (2010) attributing such texting to outofclass habit and strong gratifica tions from texting itself (p. 489).
Hood and Lander (2016) focus attention on online courses, studying the differences between a recorded
lecture featuring voiceover slides and a recorded live lecture with the instructor visible. Noting differences on a number of linguistic and nonlinguistic dimensions, they conclude that students receive more information in the recorded lecture due to the richer mix of channels. Dixson, Greenwell, RogersStacy, Weister, and Lauer (2017) explored the impact on nonverbal immediacy behaviors in online courses. These included the use of “emoticons/figurative language, color, cohesion, visual imagery, and audio in course design; response latency, length, time of day, and message frequency in forums; and type and promptness of feedback via grading and email” (p. 37). As expected from the social presence theory, they found that immediacy behaviors correlated with student engagement; however, they also found that online instructors did not make use of these as much as they might. Other studies indicate that students may place too much weight on easily noticeable nonverbal behavior in online courses. Tatum, Martin, and Kemper (2018) found that students evaluated teacher immedia cy based solely on how quickly a teacher responded to questions or postings in an online course.
Holding immediacy and other nonverbal behav iors constant, Findley and PunyanuntCarter (2007) investigated the impact of gender on nonverbal behav iors. Among other things, they found “few gender dif ferences in the student responses; instead, the major dif ference occurred in the nonverbal behaviors students identified for male and female instructors” (p. 245), with the largest differences in those nonverbal behav iors students identified “as causing feelings of content ment and nervousness” (p. 251). Yeşil (2008) also found gender differences in a study of student behavior in Turkish classroom debates: “(1) students were nega tively affected by facial expression, gesture, and physi cal appearance of other debaters and highly negatively affected by their intonation; (2) female debaters were negatively influenced to a greater degree by nonverbal behavior than males were; (3) four dimensions of non verbal behavior all had significantly positive relation ships with another; and (4) there was a significant rela tionship between the family environment in which stu dents were raised and the degree to which they were affected by other debaters’ intonation” (p. 893). Zhukov (2013) notes gender differences in collegelevel music instruction: “Deceit cues were the most frequent among the nonverbal behaviors, with the males displaying more gestures of deceit than the females. Other gender differences include the female students’ using courting signals towards both teacher groups, and the female
18 — VOLUME 38 (2019) NO. 1 COMMUNICATION RESEARCH TRENDS
teachers showing interest towards the male students” (p. 466). Zhukov also recorded examples of mixed mes sages, where negative nonverbal behaviors contradicted positive verbal statements.
Since increasing appropriate instructor nonverbal gestures promotes student learning, Alibali, Young, Crooks, Yeo, Wolfgram, Ledesma, Nathan, Breckinridge Church, and Knuth (2013) offered a tuto rial on teaching with gestures to a seventhgrade math ematics teachers and noted improved student learning in a before and aftercomparison of teaching. On the other side of the desk, student nonverbal appropriate ness can reveal weaknesses in learning. Studying sec ondary school level ESL students, Zhengdong Gan and Davison (2011) noticed that higher scoring students used gestures “well synchronized with the flow of speech, turntaking, as well as other nonverbal behav ior such as eye contact and facial expression, whereas the gestural behavior of the lowerscoring group appeared to be an outward sign of language difficulties, disfluency, tension, and lack of confidence, and largely bore no association to the verbal speech” (p. 94).
Training teachers in sensitivity to student non verbal cues can make teachers more effective. Gregersen (2007) offered foreign language teachers instruction on recognizing student anxiety, a process that improved their ability to make more finegrained interpretations of student behaviors and adjust their foreign language instruction.
Pedagogy. Pedagogy here refers to teaching mate rials intended for collegelevel communication courses. With courses in areas such as interpersonal communica tion, fundamentals of communication, nonverbal com munication, interviewing, and organizational communi cation, most departments teaching communication offer modules if not full courses in nonverbal communication. The National Communication Association encourages its members to share resources and ideas about teaching. A number of such resources address different channels or contexts of nonverbal communication.
Following the research on social presence theory, teachers have developed materials to teach students how to more effectively use online resources and course materials. Kelly and Claus (2015) present an online teaching activity to help students better under stand emotional expression and nonverbal awareness in asynchronous classrooms.
Chang (2006) offers a module to make students more attentive to intercultural patterns on nonverbal behavior and their expression of “relational levels of
meaning” (p. 97). Chang (2015) includes both cultural norms and gender norms of nonverbal communication in a learning module. Harper’s (2006) proposal focuses on gait—how walking relates to attitudes. Clasen (2008) calls attention to built environments—house plans and their effect on communication. Following Goffman’s ideas about the presentation of self, George (2013) helps students to a greater self awareness of how they change their nonverbal communication in different settings, thus changing the “face” they present in those settings. Sills (2014) proposes a module to teach about silence, a key aspect of nonverbal interaction. Schmidt Fajlik (2007) reports a larger study in intercultural lan guage instruction that explored which aspects of non verbal communication to present to Japanese university students studying English. Whalen (2010) provides a summary of teaching modules presented at the annual meeting of the Association of Business Communication that focus on nonverbal training for business.
Simones, Schroeder, and Rodger (2015) offer a study of the gestures between teacher and student in oneonone piano lessons. Among other things, they note the role of “spontaneous comusical gestures” (p. 103). Ping Yang (2015) provides an indepth review of the nonverbal communication issues faced by faculty and staff in Australia, arguing that better knowledge and practice will lead to better educational outcomes.
Damnet and Borland (2007) suggest using Australian and U.S. films to teach Thai students com petence in interpreting the nonverbal behavior accom panying normal verbal discourse, using results of an empirical study to support their position.
F. Intercultural contexts Intercultural communication scholars examine
the many ways that people cross cultural boundaries: face toface, via technology, in the mass media of film and television. These scholars call attention to nonver bal behaviors since people often take these for granted until something goes wrong—an approach to the topic that many introductory texts highlight (Landers, 2016).
Historical documents provide an interesting source of the awareness of nonverbal communication. Subramani (2010) analyzes the ancient Tamil scripture, Tirukkural by Tiruvalluvar (dated between 300 BCE and 400 CE), whose couplets address facial expres sions, eye behaviors, and other nonverbal behaviors. Davies (2018) does something similar for the Bible. Buja (2015) examines European travelers’ accounts from the 17th to the 19th centuries that incidentally
COMMUNICATION RESEARCH TRENDS VOLUME 38 (2019) NO. 1 — 19
describe nonverbal behaviors in Persia and India, pay ing particular attention to descriptions of clothing and rituals. Both Subramani and Buja also give detailed contexts of contemporary nonverbal studies. Bonvillian, Ingram, and McCleary (2009) turned to the journals of the 16th century North American explorers Bernal Díaz del Castillo and Álvar Núñez Cabeza de Vaca where they found that “signs and gestures were widely employed and often proved effective as a means of communication between members of early Spanish led expeditions and the indigenous peoples of North America. Also, manual signing, rather than being a sys tem of communication introduced by Europeans . . . was evidently already firmly established and widely used by Native Americans throughout much of North America at the time of their first contacts with European explorers” (p. 156).
Many studies highlight nonverbal practices in spe cific nonU.S. cultures or differences in the nonverbal behaviors between particular countries or cultures. Itu (2009) sets the context with an overview of general cul tural differences in nonverbal behavior. Sekine, Stam, Yoshioka, Tellier, and Capirci (2015) polled undergrad uates in five countries about their gesture use and about their stereotypes of gesture use in other countries, find ing “that people from different cultures hold the com mon view that specific language speakers produce larg er gestures than other language speakers do. It indicat ed that regardless of the participants’ cultures, they tend to believe that IndoEuropean language speakers, espe cially Italian speakers, produce larger gestures more fre quently than East Asian language speakers such as Chinese, Japanese, and Korean” (p. 102). Jarmołowicz Nowikow (2014) identifies some distinctively Polish gestures for pointing out individuals or things. In an experiment with Italian and Japanese toddlers, Pettenati, Sekine, Congestrì, and Volterra (2012) found some small differences in representational gestures, but conclude that a common developmental stage remains untouched by culture. Williams and Hughes (2005) report observations on Italian adults in public spaces and argue that gender, context, and situation influence the nonverbal actions. With an eye to better integrating immigrants from India, Gallo (2015) offers an overview of the nonverbal gestures of people from South India (Dravidian languages) in contrast with those from North India (Aryan languages). Arun, Mathew, & Bailoor (2014) describe hand gestures in Malayalam. Barker (2016) used an interview technique to gather informa tion from Swedes living in the U.S. and U.S. citizens
living in Sweden about communication patterns in the two cultures and identified differences in both verbal and nonverbal approaches, including openness to strangers, conversational regulation, eye contact, and emotional display (pp. 19–21). Hooijschuur, Hilton, and Loerts (2017), working in Holland, used gestures as an indicator of native speakers of a language. In an earlier experiment, Gregersen, OlivaresCuhat, and Storm (2009) found connections between competence in a sec ond language and the kinds of gestures used by the speakers. Sharifabad and Vali (2011) focused on Persian Englishasaforeignlanguage students and American native speakers, finding no differences in kinesics but some in frequency of facial expression over gestures. Wing Chee So (2010) added an element of complexity by comparing gesture frequency among Chinesespeak ing monolinguals, Englishspeaking monolinguals, and ChineseEnglish speaking bilinguals.
The English monolinguals overall produced more representational and nonrepresentational gestures than the Chinese monolinguals, sug gesting that American culture is a relatively highgesture culture and Chinese culture is a rel atively lowgesture culture. When speaking in English, the bilinguals resembled the English monolinguals regarding the frequency of both representational and nonrepresentational ges tures. When speaking in MandarinChinese, the bilinguals produced more representational ges tures than the Chinese monolinguals but more or less the same number of representational ges tures as the English monolinguals. In contrast, the bilinguals and the Chinese monolinguals produced similar number of nonrepresentational gestures. (p. 1335).
Hee Sun Park and Guan (2009) compared both verbal and nonverbal apology strategies between Chinese and English speakers, finding that the Chinese speakers used different strategies towards ingroup and out group apologies. In another study of bilingual vs. monolingual speakers, Gruber, King, Hay, and Johnston (2016) turned to New Zealand to compare EnglishMāori bilinguals with English monolinguals, noting some differences in hand, head, and eyebrow gestures. Japanese and American pedestrian behaviors (acknowledging one another, glance, coordinating actions, level of focus) showed some differences (Patterson & Montepare, 2007; Patterson, Izuka, Tubbs, Ansel, Tsutsumi, Anson, Aoki, Arbaugh, & Lareina, 2009). Using an experiment with nonsense syllables, Jiang, Paulmann, Robin, and Pell (2015)
20 — VOLUME 38 (2019) NO. 1 COMMUNICATION RESEARCH TRENDS
compared English and Hindi listeners to measure how they identified vocal markers of emotion; native speak ers proved more adept, but greater proficiency in the second language led to faster processing.
YoungOk Lee (2009) introduces the idea of chronemics, or time, in a crossculture comparison of Korean and English speakers, noting the “perception and use of time is comparatively studied in a metaphor ical expression” (p. 119). Lebedko (2016) also chose time as the nonverbal point of comparison between Russians and Americans, finding evidence of what she calls differences in cognitive systems.
Adamo (2011) calls attention to the varieties of dress in Nigeria as constituting a semiotic system.
The nonverbal gesture category of emblems show differences across cultures. Matsumoto and Hwang (2013) constructed a catalogue of such emblems based on coders and decoders from six world regions. Only a small group of the emblems were similar across all cul tures. Such variation can lead to misinterpretation, something that Ntuli (2012) demonstrates from recent South African history where even close cultural groups misunderstand each other.
As with all things, children learn language and nonverbal behaviors from home and culture. Bowen and Montepare (2007) found that “Negative forms of expressiveness in families and a poor quality of home life contribute more to children’s inability to under stand nonverbal communication than do cultural differ ences or parenting styles” (p. 185).
Cultural differences also appear in virtual spaces. Hasler and Friedman (2012) compared how Asian and European users interacted through avatars, finding that the Asian group kept a larger speaking distance than the Europeans (consistent with cultural norms) but that they adapted to the European norms when interacting with European avatars.
G. Translation and interpretation Facetoface language translation involves both
verbal and nonverbal components. Palkowska and Wolańnska (2008) propose measures for the assess ment of translation quality, noting that the users them selves make poor judges since they lack ability in both languages. However, they do argue that users expect translators to actively incorporate paralinguistic cues. Successful translation will involve nonverbal func tions, especially those tied to discursive formations; key elements include speaker’s gaze, head nods, smil ing, tone, rhythm, pauses, and so on (Yang, Sasaoka, & Zhan, 2011). Grice’s theories of pragmatics can inform
translation studies, providing theoretical grounding for understanding gestures and connecting them to speak er meaning (Dynel, 2011). The misapplication of ges tures or the use of culturally ambiguous gestures can interfere with translation, as a case study of Chinese immigrants in Catalonia shows (VargasUrpi, 2013).
Other forms of translation also involve nonverbal cues since some languages incorporate body idioms or, like Slavic languages, include phrases that have a head word relationship (Andreici, 2016). More generally, transcriptions and translations of evidentiary hearings in court cases lose required accuracy without some nonverbal components signaling the speaker’s inten tion or mood (Chakhachiro,, 2016). Viewers of Japanese anime animation report a preference for sub titling over dubbing, particularly when subtitles include explanation of nonverbal cues (Caffrey, 2008). Carpenter (2014) offers a larger context of the contem porary inclusion of nonverbal elements in all languages and of the construction of nonverbal languages (sym bolic language, art, music, etc.). Another translation situation arises with the growing popularity of printed tshirts. Caldwell (2017) suggests using methods from social semiotics and systemic functional linguistics to ground understanding the impact of, for example, English language slogans in crosscultural settings.
H. Politics Political communication study has included the
role of nonverbal communication at least since the 1960 U.S. Presidential campaign debates between John F. Kennedy and Richard Nixon where famously those who heard the debate on the radio felt that Nixon won while those who watched it on television overwhelm ing opted for Kennedy. Most pundits attributed this to the appearance of the two candidates (Kopacz, 2006; Gong & Bucy, 2016). This focus on appearance, par alinguistic expression, and gestures has become a com monplace in political communication study, even in international politics (Predescu & Seceleanu, 2011; Rus, 2011). Kopacz (2006) provides an overview of how nonverbal communication study has merged with political communication study, suggesting that the elaboration likelihood model of persuasion offers a helpful theory to better understand political communi cation practices. A number of researchers propose some other ways to understand how nonverbal actions influence. GrebelskyLichtman (2010) argues that the disjunction between the verbal and nonverbal channels used by television interviewers and politicians predicts political standing. Laustsen and Petersen (2016) pres
COMMUNICATION RESEARCH TRENDS VOLUME 38 (2019) NO. 1 — 21
ent a fairly sophisticated model that connects nonver bal qualities with ideology, where a “dominant face” proves more pleasing to conservative audiences but a nondominant one better for liberal audiences. Labuschagne (2017) and Tak, Kaid, and Khang (2007) remind readers that culture, as well, plays a role in pro viding a context in interpreting political gestures.
Better tools and more video sources have led to a more detailed analysis of politicians’ appearance and gesture in campaign speeches (Kindblom, 2009), of tel evision “image bites” (brief images when a candidate does not speak) (Bucy & Grabe, 2007), of balanced or unbalanced news reporting (Banning & Coleman, 2009), of reaction shots of news readers or audiences (Haumer & Donsbach, 2009), of news framing of non verbal cues (Manusov & Harvey, 2011), and of politi cal advertising (Tak, Kaid, & Khang, 2007).
Montepare (2010) introduces a special issue of the Journal of Nonverbal Behavior focused on political communication. The key study by Olivola and Todorov (2010), with the memorable title, “Elected in 100 mil liseconds,” reports that people’s quick judgments of candidate appearance predicted voting. The issue includes commentaries that explore the evolutionary rationale for such quick judgments (Riggio & Riggio, 2010); that urge the application of consumer culture theories and branding theories to the complexity of vot ing behaviors (Lieb & Shah, 2010); and that attempt to refine the predictive model of the effects (Verhulst, Lodge, & Lavine, 2010). A study, related to the topic of quick judgments though not published in the special issue, explores the impact of facial features on attitudes to politicians and their platforms (Maoz, 2012).
Finally, as expected from the attention given to the KennedyNixon debates, nonverbal scholars still focus on political debates. Recent studies attend to the varying levels of politeness expressed by gestures in debates as indicators of argumentative effectiveness (Weger Jr., Seiter, Jacobs, & Akbulut, 2010); to expectancy violation through congruent or incongruent gestures (Gong & Bucy, 2016); to the background non verbal behaviors, that is, behavior when a debater is not speaking (Seiter, Weger, Kinzer, & Jensen, 2009); and to continuous response measurement of audience judg ments based on verbal and nonverbal behaviors (Nagel, Maurer, & Reinemann, 2012).
I. Journalism News presenters on television cannot turn off
their nonverbal behavior, and that behavior can influ
ence their audiences (Florea, 2012). Beginning with media bias effects, Babad and Peer (2010) experiment ed with different ways to counteract the effect in tele vision interviews through cognitive remedies or through images of a relaxed interview subject. Replication in several countries showed a consistency of the results across cultures. Zhengrui Han and Hongqiang Zhu (2018) show how contemporary news presenters, rather than attempting a neutral counte nance, use eyebrow flashes to signal different messages of solidarity with their viewers.
J. Workplace Nonverbal behaviors influence and convey com
munication in the workplace, something noted in both academic studies (Gorman, 2011) and popular works, such as those promising insights into reading other peo ple (Hogan, 2008) or improving work performance (Perkins, 2008); most general academic studies of work place communication include at least some introduction to the nonverbal behavior. For example, Chesebro (2014) covers elements such as evolutionary explana tions for nonverbal expression, the role of socialization and emotional expression in recognizing nonverbal cues, the functions of nonverbal behaviors, and adapting to the behaviors of others in the workplace.
Consistent with other business communication approaches, researchers investigate superiorsubordinate communication, noting that superior immediacy serves as an intervening variable between superior communica tion competence and subordinate communication satis faction (Madlock, 2008), between superior verbal aggression and subordinate perception of superior cred ibility (Teven, 2010; Lybarger, Rancer, & Lin, 2017), and between employee emotion and motivation for com munication with superiors (Jia, Jiuqing, & Hale, 2017).
Other studies look at the success of job training on adolescents’ verbal and nonverbal communication skills (Olszewski, Panorska, & Gillam, 2017); at the relation of nonverbal cues and interview performance (DeGroot & Gooty, 2009); at the role of nonverbal cues on intercultural business practices, both facetoface (Self, 2009) and via conference calls (Halbe, 2012); and at the role of nonverbal communication in office romance (Cowan & Horan, 2014).
K. Marketing and sales Grewal, Roggeveen, Puccinelli, and Spence (2014)
introduce a special issue of the journal, Psychology & Marketing, with articles that examine key issues in the
22 — VOLUME 38 (2019) NO. 1 COMMUNICATION RESEARCH TRENDS
role of nonverbal cues in retail sales. Different contribu tors point out the importance of “visual atmospherics (e.g., color, brightness), auditory atmospherics (e.g., music type, tempo, and volume), olfactory atmospherics (e.g., scent), tactile atmospherics (e.g., ability to touch merchandise), and taste atmospherics (e.g., ability to sample merchandise)” (p. 469), with several examining auditory nonverbal cues. Kidwell and Hasford (2014) look at interaction components—facial expression, eye contact, perceived similarity—as influences on customer behavior. Nonverbal behaviors influence clients, with studies examining how well sales personnel understand customer nonverbal expressions (Puccinelli, Motyka, & Grewal, 2010), how well customers respond to sales per sonnel clothing and nonverbal cues (Bashir & Rule, 2014), the effect on sales when frontline employees match nonverbal emotions to clients (Lim, Lee, & Foo, 2017), the role of headnodding in building client trust (Oshima, 2014), and the awareness of nonverbal behav iors in online interactions (Hoesch, 2016).
Nonverbal behaviors also appear in advertising, but not without problems. DeRosia’s (2008) experi ment found that consumers had to actively work to interpret nonverbal metaphors and behaviors. Iyanga Mambo (2017), examining a oneday recording of the Multimodal Analysis of TV database of British televi sion, reports strong evidence of gendered characters in both the verbal and nonverbal areas. “Male characters are characterized by a more powerful and distant pro file than females, who employ more physical attention seeking communicative techniques” (p. 95). Others work to develop more neutral avenues in which brand representatives can use “textual paralanguage” on online platforms like Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram (Luangrath, Peck,& Barger, 2017).
L. Computermediated communication At first consideration, the ideas of nonverbal com
munication and computermediated communication (CMC) do not seem to interact; on second thought, one realizes that much of contemporary CMC employs images, avatars, and nonverbal typographic symbols. Montepare (2014) introduces a special issue of the Journal of Nonverbal Behavior by highlighting how nonverbal researchers have explored the computer envi ronment. Reports in that journal include studies of iden tity management (Lueders, Hall, Pennington, & Knutson, 2014), attachment style and emotional reaction (Fleuriet, Cole, & Guerrero, 2014; Miller, Denes, Diaz, & Buck, 2014), and the interaction of user characteris
tics and transgression management (Samp & Palevitz, 2014). All of these studies examined Facebook users. Lueders and her colleagues (2014) used standard per sonality and social skills tests to measure the accuracy of people’s judgments of personality based on Facebook profiles, depending only on the nonverbal cues present ed. Fleuriet, Cole, and Guerrero (2014) examined emo tional responses to “jealousy inducing” Facebook posts, comparing verbal only posts with those that included “text plus either an attractive or unattractive photo of the sender, a winking face emoticon, words in all capitals, or triple exclamation points” (p. 429). The nonverbal ele ments, combined with attachment style and gender, pro duced different emotional responses. Miller and col leagues (2014) confirmed those findings related to attachment style, though their prompt consisted of pho tos showing different degrees of touch. Samp and Palevitz (2014) examined how those with different lev els of relational power responded to “perceived relation al transgressions by partners on Facebook, distinguish ing between facetoface responses versus those that are expressed nonverbally (through monitoring or mainte nance behaviors) on the site” (p. 477).
Before the rise of social media sites like Facebook, nonverbal researchers had already begun to pay attention to the “paralinguistic” qualities of online written text. Ledbetter and Larsson (2008), studying emotionally supportive cues in email, found that “that female senders use more emotional nonverbal cues than do male senders, yet nonverbal cue usage is not associated with the recipient’s support satisfaction” (p. 1089). Riordan and Trichtinger (2017) report less opti mistic results with email, noting that both senders and receivers overestimate accuracy of interpreting both verbal and nonverbal cues. Antonijevic (2008) turned to Second Life, a virtual environment that allows prox emic and kinesic actions through avatars, comparing “userdefined and predefined nonverbal cues” and finding “that userdefined [nonverbal communication] has stronger potential to enhance online interaction” (p. 221). Morgan (2018) summarizes these kinds of stud ies, offering practical advice for interacting in the vir tual worlds of email, conference calls, video chats, webinars, texting, online chats, and so on.
Online interaction has also popularized the use of “emoticons,” that is “graphic signs, such as the smiley face, that often accompany computermediat ed textual communication” (Dresner & Herring, 2010, p. 249). Dresner and Herring (2010) apply speech act theory to argue that emoticons have illocutionary
COMMUNICATION RESEARCH TRENDS VOLUME 38 (2019) NO. 1 — 23
force as well as serving as emotional indicators. Thompson and Filik (2016) provide a demonstration of this in their report of several experiments in which emoticons served as “the principal indicators of sar castic intent . . . compensating for the absence of non verbal cues in written communication” (p. 105). Park, Baek, and Cha (2014), using a big data sample to look at emoticon usage on Twitter in different cultures, found that “people within individualistic cultures favor horizontal and mouthoriented emoticons like :), while those within collectivistic cultures favor ver tical and eyeoriented emoticons like ^_^” (p. 333). Given some limitations, they acknowledge that their study probably has greater methodological signifi cance than practical use. Schandorf (2013) goes beyond emoticons to examine range on paralinguistic features that serve phatic functions in the online world—ranging from buttons to share or rate content (“like’) to subscribe to various feeds.
Another class of CMC involves humancomputer interaction, often in the contexts of games, shopping agents, or learning. Here, too, researchers have attended to nonverbal behaviors. Pelachaud (2009) focused on gesture studies to create an embodied conversational agent, building a set of six parameters to inform anima tions. Mol, Krahmer, Maes, and Swerts (2009) further explored this idea by contrasting gestures in human face toface interaction with humanmachine interactions. Balzarotti, Piccini, Andreoni, and Ciceri (2014) investi gated the role that emotional attunement plays in human computer exchanges. Drawing on research that shows how humans signal such attunement nonverbally, they constructed an experiment in which a computer simulat ed understanding people’s emotions. “Results showed that if participants were aware of interacting with an agent able to recognize their emotions, they reported that the computer was able to ‘understand’ them and showed
a higher number of nonverbal behaviors during the most interactive activity” (p. 283). Tong and Walther (2015) test the concepts of interpersonal expectancy in CMC in channels with and without nonverbal components. Haans, Bruijn, and IJsselsteijn (2014) explored the impact of touch in humancomputer interactions. “With two experiments (one with an informed and one with a blind confederate) and a metaanalysis, we demonstrate that stimulation through a tactile display can induce sim ilar helping behavior as actual interpersonal physical contact. This virtual Midas touch effect suggests that electromechanical stimuli are processed in ways similar to actual touch” (p. 301). Beilharz (2011) goes further in her explorations of using embedded chips to control music; as part of the background, she reports on a num ber of ways to incorporate gesture into humancomputer interaction (from physical controllers to motion sensor devices). Hrişcă (2012) offers a review of relevant liter ature on “body language” studies in order to develop an artificial body.
Each of these studies presents ideas on incorporat ing nonverbal aspects on the design of future computer mediated communication. Other researchers look at such possibilities in specific contexts. Youngvorst and High (2018) suggest using technological features to incorporate verbal and nonverbal cues into online sup port. D’Mello and Graesser (2009) report on developing hardware to detect bodily indicators of “boredom, con fusion, delight, flow, and frustration” during machine tutoring sessions (p. 123). Focusing on the other direc tion, Baylor and Kim (2009) had the instructional hard ware use an animated agent that could mimic human facial expressions and gestures. They found mixed results with facial expression reinforcing learning of attitudes but gestures more important when learning procedures, suggesting that machine interaction style should match the desired learning outcomes.

6. Specific Functions
Nonverbal actions can serve many functions, from expressing message content to commenting on messages, to expressing emotion, to regulating interac tions, as have appeared in many of the previous sec tions. Without attempting a comprehensive review of all the functions of nonverbal communication, this sec tion will present research on only three: emotional expression, deception, and language learning.
A. Expressing emotion People express emotion nonverbally, particularly
though facial expression. Research already cited in specific contexts (health, education, marketing, and so on) has highlighted some of the work in this area of nonverbal study. In introducing their experimental work, Kever, Grynberg, Eeckhout, Mermillod, Fantini, and Vermeulen (2015) provide a helpful context of
COMMUNICATION RESEARCH TRENDS VOLUME 38 (2019) NO. 1 — 25
how researchers theorize emotion. They note, for example, that “current theories of embodied emotion suggest that knowledge about an emotion concept involves simulations of bodily experienced emotional states relevant to the concept” (p. 582). To test this, they measured emotional arousal triggered by the pro cessing of emotional words, finding support for the general theory. Some more general examinations of emotion consider facial mimicry, a theory that holds that “perception of emotional facial expressions may activate corresponding facial muscles in the receiver” (Künecke, Wilhelm, & Sommer, 2017, p. 221). Künecke and her colleagues report on testing this, not with people’s reactions to photographs—the tradition al method—but in facetoface interaction, recording the participants’ facial electromyograms. Their results accorded with the Emotion Mimicry in Context theo ries. Jones and Wirtz (2007) examined a more expan sive understanding of emotional matching, focusing on nonverbal immediacy. While they found spontaneous matching, the levels of immediacy did not influence the perceptions of that matching.
People typically show great ability to recognize emotion in others. Miles and Johnston (2007) report two experiments where people successfully distin guished between “enjoyment and nonenjoyment” smiles, judging the former as markers of happiness. Merola (2007) found that people—in this case, ath letes—can recreate emotions through nonverbal expression, combining emotional states with sensory motor ones. People can also express and recognize emotion in such human activity as crying, which can also have a discursive function (Ladegaard, 2014). Sighing also has several functions, from emotional expression to conversational regulation (Hoey, 2014).
Do these abilities change with age? Montepare (2011) provides added context in this area of research into the nonverbal expression of emotion, introducing a special issue of the Journal of Nonverbal Behavior on ageing. Articles in the issue report on the limitations in studying differences between younger and older adults in expressing emotion by focusing solely on the underlying neurophysiological paths rather than look ing for broader measures of context and perception of emotion (Isaacowitz & Stanley, 2011). As is usual in such special issues, other researchers respond to these concerns by more detailed studies of neural functions (Phillips & Slessor, 2011) and an attempt to combine the neuropsychological with attention to ecological questions (Ruffman, 2011). Charles and Campos
(2011) conclude the issue by suggesting that no one theory will explain all agerelated differences and that researchers would do well to consider both culture and gender together with age.
B. Deception and detecting deception Nonverbal researchers have long investigated
deception, taking up the popular belief that careful observers can detect deception through nonverbal “leak age.” More recent studies continue to examine decep tion. Novotny, Carr Frank, Dietrich, Shaddock, Cardwell, and Decker (2018) summarizing past views and research, argue that detecting deception is a process aided by nonverbal behaviors that arouse suspicion. In two experiments, they found “that those asked about suspecting a lie cited nonverbal behaviors significantly more often than those asked about discovering a lie. Thus, in contrast to previous research, these findings suggest the importance of behavioral clues (e.g. verbal and nonverbal behavior), specifically in the early stage of lie detection” (p. 41). Looking for specific nonverbal indicators of deception, Cohen, Beattie, and Shovelton (2010) found that “participants produced significantly fewer iconic gestures when describing plotline events deceptively than when narrating comparable episode units truthfully” (p. 133). Often the kinds of gestures used did not correspond to semantic information.
As early as Darwin, people have suspected that facial expression can give away the attempt to lie. Porter, ten Brinke, and Wallace (2012) summarize prior research and use video cameras to record leakage of emotion in facial expression. Based on a frame by frame analysis they concluded, “In general, emotional leakage lasted longer in both the upper and lower face during highintensity masked, relative to lowintensity, masked expressions” (p. 23); they also noted that untrained observers could not identify these clues to deceptive communication. And good deceivers can mask the clues. Okubo, Kobayashi, and Ishikawa (2012) found that a posed or fake smile could hide other facial clues to emotion and thus deception. Popular culture does not necessarily help. The televi sion show, Lie to Me, features a scientist who uses the ability to detect deception nonverbally. Experimental participants who view the show “were no better at dis tinguishing truths from lies but were more likely than control participants to misidentify honest interviewees as deceptive”; if anything, the show made them more suspicious of all communicators (Levine, Serota, Kim, & Shulman, 2010, p. 847).
Can people learn how to detect deception? A metaanalysis of 30 studies (Hauch, Sporer, Michael, & Meissner, 2016) showed some effects of training:
a small to medium training effect for detection accuracy . . . and for lie accuracy . . . , but not for truth accuracy . . . . If participants were guided by cues to detect the truth, rather than to detect deception, only truth accuracy was increased. Moderator analyses revealed larger training effects if the training was based on verbal con tent cues, whereas feedback, nonverbal and par averbal, or multichannel cue training had only small effects. Type of training, duration, mode of instruction, and publication status were also important moderators. (p. 283)
Kádár (2017) reminds readers that the perception of nonverbal indicators of deception has links to the per sonality of the observer and suggests twofold training in selfknowledge and classification of facial signs. Employing the construct of “sensoryprocessing sensi tivity.” Gearhart (2014) found no significant differ ences in decoding deception between sensitive and nonsensitive participants.
Other deception studies include newer technolog ical tools. Using pattern recognition software on previ ous sets of data, Burgoon, Proudfoot, Schuetzler, and Wilson (2014) discovered a number of indicators of deception. Burgoon, Schuetzler, and Wilson (2015) report that another computer program, one that ana lyzes kinesic behavior, found “that the quantity and quality of patterns distinguish truths from untruths” but sometimes in counterintuitive ways (p. 1). Given the rise of videoconferencing, Dunbar, Jensen, Tower, and Burgoon (2014) asked whether the mode of communi cation (facetoface vs. videoconference) affected the ability to detect cheating; among other things they found that the videoconference disrupted the deceivers’ ability to deceive by altering their rhythm of communi cation. Do deceivers prefer one communication chan nel over another? Van Swol and Braun (2014) com pared facetoface situations with text chat in a finan cial game setting. “Distributors used text chat more for deceptive offers; receivers were more accurate at detecting deception through text chat than faceto face” (p. 1139). Deceptive behavior appeared more fre quently in texting, at least as reported by undergradu ate students in an anonymous survey. “Results indicate that among undergraduate students, text messaging is an interpersonal form of communication that circum vents professionalism and power. Further, undergradu
ate students were much more likely to engage in decep tive texting with family and friends, but did so with sig nificantly less frequency in the organizational setting” (Wise & Rodriguez, 2013, p. 342).
Organizational settings provide other opportuni ties for study deception. De Waele and Claeys (2017) examined crisis communication, where typical corpo rate responses occur in televised settings. Public assessment of organizational credibility often rests on the interpretation (whether accurate or not) of nonver bal cues. Their study of 160 recordings of crisis responses found that “several nonverbal cues of decep tion occur in audiovisual crisis communication and that their occurrence depends on the crisis type, the source, and the crisis communication format” (p. 680).
Each of these approaches to deception detection through nonverbal cues suggests further research; at the moment, the most promising avenues seem to rest in the application of technology to the study.
C. Language study Linguistics and language study seeks to develop
coding schemes and methods to include nonverbal behaviors (paralinguistics and gestures) into their work (Adolphs & Carter, 2007). Ross (2018) proposes including interaction competences (turntaking, eye contact, paralinguistics) in assessment measures of lan guage competence, applying a test case to Japanese and English speakers. Cormanski (2017) refers to this as a “grammar of the body,” which speakers must master along with linguistic grammar. Busà (2015) refers to something similar in second language learning and encourages its inclusion in the syllabus. Kimura and Kazik (2017) draw on Sociocultural Theory to ground their classroom incorporation of such grammar of the body while others propose classroom exercises such as storytelling that bridges the gap to appropriate gesture (Tabensky, 2008). In a more specialized consideration, Eriksen (2011) discusses the case of negation of non verbal predicates—something that follows a different grammar from the linguistic one in many languages.
Anchoring a special issue of the Journal of Child Language, Iverson (2010), based on a review of relevant literature argues “that motor acquisitions provide infants [0–18 months] with an opportunity to practice skills relevant to language acquisition before they are needed for that purpose; and that the emer gence of new motor skills changes infants’ experi ence with objects and people in ways that are rele vant for both general communicative development

and the acquisition of language” (p. 229). This non verbal “prelanguage” idea garners both support (Oller, 2010; Taylor, 2010) and criticism (Adolph,
TamisLemonda, & Karasik, 2010), with all discus sants providing additional research materials to back their claims.
COMMUNICATION RESEARCH TRENDS VOLUME 38 (2019) NO. 1 — 27
7. Methodologies and Coding
The last section of the Matsumoto, Hwang, and Frank handbook (2016a) reviews different method ological approaches to studying nonverbal behavior. One of the difficulties, as one chapter heading has it, lies in “measuring the dynamic stream of display” of nonverbal behavior. Nonverbal communication, like a spoken language, is ongoing behavior and encompass es the full range of the human body, from facial expres sion to posture to movement. How one records such material for study provides the focus for the chapter (Buck & Miller, 2016) and for this section of the review. Nonverbal researchers have to contend not only with bodily expression but also with proximity, odors, vocal inflection, and so on—as well as how humans manage to perceive and decode all of these things simultaneously.
Nonverbal researchers long struggled with how to record and code different nonverbal behaviors. Since those behaviors occur simultaneously, every researcher runs the risk of missing something by focusing on some thing else. Early approaches to nonverbal study chose a single channel; research attempted to describe and then categorize what took place in, for example, gesture or eye behavior or touch or posture. Some attempted to photograph or video record people, but these early attempts lacked a naturalistic setting. More recent study has taken advantage of improved recording technologies that allow researchers to perform close analyses of nat uralistic interactions recorded in situ.
Before one can apply any technologies, researchers must specify what to code. And knowing what channels matter becomes an important first step since adding different modes or channels of nonverbal behavior complicates the coding task. Mondada (2018) offers an overview of key principles involved in tran scribing conversations. She “discusses classic and con temporary challenges for transcription and analysis, such as beyond gesture and gaze, body arrangements in interactional spaces, larger groups, material environ ments, mobile settings, silent activities, and animal encounters. [The essay] also highlights the diversity of
multimodal practices involved: mobilizing occasioned material resources, movements not only of the upper (head, gesture) but also the lower (feet, legs, posterior) parts of the body, haptic contacts, touching objects and coparticipants, and camera movements” (p. 85). She also notes the necessity of coding the order in which the nonverbal behaviors occur within conversations. Adolphs and Carter (2007) report on a multimodal (linguistics and nonverbal) project at the University of Nottingham, which seeks to expand current linguistic databases to include nonverbal behaviors. They initial ly focus on gestures that accompany talk, particularly head nods. In addition to recording language examples they plan to include video that researchers can stream along with verbal data. Jaime (2018) proposes a theo retical framework for including clothing as a category or channel of nonverbal communication, arguing “that clothing: a) is a nonlinguistic sign that sends at least 19 different messages, b) complies with all the struc tural elements for the existence of [nonverbal commu nication], c) is present as an expression mechanism in other species, and d) supports the verbal system by executing five functions” (p. 85).
Researchers continue to test different methods of assessing nonverbal behavior. Gross, Crane, and Fredrickson (2010) employed actors to demonstrate a variety of emotions in order to develop methods to assess both the expression of and interpretation of emotion in simple bodily movements. Their project involved motion capture photography to record a range of emotions associated with the act of knocking. They concluded that the “results demonstrate the efficacy of selecting movement trials in which target emotions are felt and recognized in assessing bodily expression of emotion. By limiting body movements to a single task, the effect of positive and negative emotions on qualita tive and quantitative movement characteristics could be determined more specifically” (p. 246). They also note that though the actors recognized the target emo tions, observers only recognized them in a few trials (p. 223). But how much does the work of trained
observers resemble the sensitivity of ordinary individ uals? Gawne and Kelly (2014) found some differences:
We asked 12 participants to conceptualize their own categories of gesture and then analyze a short video that contained a predetermined vari ety of bodily movements. We found that non analysts had a wider conception of what consti tuted gesture than analysts. In regards to the cat egorizations of gesture that nonanalysts made, there were a range of schemas, which we broad ly categorized as being “formbased” and “func tionbased.” (p. 216)
One might reasonably ask whether the nonanalysts are in the early stages of discovering categories, which the scholars had already done, or whether the scholars have become too specialized, with too many nonintuitive categories. Acknowledging the complexity of nonver bal behaviors (“head movements, facial expressions and body gestures”), Theobald, Mangini, Spies, Brick, Cohn, Boker, and Michael (2009) present their system “where the effects of manipulating individual compo nents of nonverbal visual behavior during live faceto face conversation can be studied” through video frame rate analysis (p. 369).
Computerassisted coding involves the frameby frame display of interactions along with the ability to annotate multiple aspects through repeated viewing. Allwood, Cerrato, Jokinen, Navarretta, and Paggio (2007) describe a “multimodal annotation scheme dedi cated to the study of gestures in interpersonal communi cation” (p. 273). Focusing on turn management, sequenc ing, and feedback, they tested their proposed categories on video clips in three Nordic languages and offer the coding scheme to other researchers. These include con tinuation/contact (where speakers acknowledge one another), signaling perception and understanding, atti tudes/emotion, turn management (trading the turn to talk), and different kinds of gestures (pp. 275–278).
Similar approaches offer coding systems for emo tional expression. Dael, Mortillaro, and Scherer (2012) propose the body action and posture coding system (BAP), which describes the articulation of anatomical units and the form and function of units (pp. 101–102). They also provide a very helpful review of past sys tems for coding body movement and emotion, begin ning with the early work of Ekman and Friesen and Birdwhistell (pp. 98–100). Their proposed system also employs a computer assisted display of recorded inter actions; initial studies applying it to a standard data set found solid intercoder reliability.
A number of scales of nonverbal behavior exist, particularly in the health communication area. The Communication Profile for the Hearing Impaired helps in diagnostics and treatment (Mokkink, Kno, Zekveld, Goverts, & Kramer, 2009) and includes a section on nonverbal strategies. The Communication and Symbolic Behavior Scale—Developmental Profile pro vides an instrument for parental and clinical use in assisting with the evaluation of children at risk of devel opmental delay (Eadie, Ukoumunne, Skeat, Prior, Bavin, Brethertonk, & Reilly, 2010). The Patient Emotion Cue Test (PECT) provides training for medical personnel in recognizing emotional cues of their patients. It “consists of 47 video clips depicting emotion cues that systematically vary in intensity of both verbal and nonverbal contents. The PECT assesses the provider’s ability to detect and identify patients’ emo tion cues accurately” (BlanchHartigan, 2011, p. 370). The Relational Communication Scale for Observational Measurement “is a 34item instrument designed to measure the nonverbal communication of physicians interacting with patients” (Gallagher, Hartung, Gerzina, Gregory, & Merolla, 2005). GorawaraBhat, Cook, and Sachs (2007) present validity testing results for the NDEPT (nonverbal communication in doctorelderly patient transactions) in an attempt to develop a tool to evaluate nonverbal dimensions in geriatric medicine.
In a more specialized context, Shikanai, Sawada, and Ishii (2013) developed and tested the Movements Impressions Emotions Model for dance as a way to evaluate the expression of emotion. Key movements included “Frequency and Velocity of Upward Extension, Frequency and Velocity of Downward Movements, Turning or Jumping, and Body Closing” (p. 107).
La France, Heisel, and Beatty (2007) have attempted to explore the accuracy of the use of various coding systems for nonverbal behavior. After finding “a substantial negative correlation between effect size and sample size” in a metaanalysis of studies on non verbal behavior they tested whether the cognitive load hypothesis could account for observer error. They note, “The decision to increase the number of nonverbal cues observers coded created 26% more errors, and over time observers made 10% more errors” (p. 11).
Given the intensity of this kind of coding and the possibility of error, some have explored automating the process. Frauendorfer, Schmid Mast, Nguyen, and GaticaPerez (2014) offer an example from a job inter view setting to show “how nonverbal social sensing,
28 — VOLUME 38 (2019) NO. 1 COMMUNICATION RESEARCH TRENDS
defined as the automated recording and extracting of nonverbal behavior via ubiquitous social sensing plat forms, can be achieved. More precisely, we show how and what kind of nonverbal cues can be extracted and to what extent automated extracted nonverbal cues can be validly obtained” (p. 231). To escape the need for human
coders, they had test subjects wear sensing devices such as eyetrackers or movement sensors (p. 232). They found that their technology and overall model compared well with human coders and urge further development of such systems.Others have developed similar automated systems, as mentioned in the section on contexts.

8. Conclusion
Nonverbal communication research over the last 10 years has continued much as it had begun: in inter disciplinary cooperation. While much of the research described here takes place with a communication focus and often appears in communication journals, a good deal of the study takes place in psychology, linguistics, anthropology, and health; it finds publication outlets in medical journals as well as in those of the social sci ences. Recent work also continues its applied focus.
The recent nonverbal research area also continues to manifest some of the same difficulties that it faced all along. That is, the behaviors it describes occur in multiple channels, with multiple effects, simultaneous ly communicating in themselves and commenting on other communication channels. This leads to a kind of dualism within the research itself. The researcher must describe the subject area by the channel(s) in which the communication takes place and by the function(s) that it serves. Much of the time both channel and function do not conveniently appear singly. And since all of the nonverbal behaviors occur simultaneously (and often with verbal linguistic communication), the researcher must make some choices on how to describe the phe nomena and present the material.
Among the noteworthy things emerging from this more recent period of nonverbal research are the devel opment of new methodologies and the particular focus on nonverbal communication in health communication circles. Health communication researchers have one of the most applied approaches: They see nonverbal behavior as both a diagnostic tool and a treatment tool. Given the seriousness of the issues, either in early life with child language development, or in late life due to aphasia or dementia, the nonverbal behaviors form a life changing part of communication itself. Other com munication researchers also include applied situations for nonverbal behavior, for example, in education, business, or marketing.
The new methodological tools used by nonverbal communication researchers very clearly indicate that
much more occurs nonverbally than the unassisted human observer notices. Very complex behaviors take place below the fully conscious encoding or decoding by an individual and have significant impacts on the communicators. One the one hand, one can only mar vel at what and how humans accomplish in their com munication; on the other, one wants to describe it and measure its impact and meaning. Researchers have developed new video tools to record interactions and computer analysis programs to detect different kinds of nonverbal behaviors and, at times, even to interpret them. Clearly these go far beyond what the average individual can consciously do (though that same aver age individual manages his/her communication quite well). In many ways this fact simply highlights and reinforces earlier observations that the ordinary observer does not notice even what a trained observer might. And the computerassisted studies notice what a trained observer cannot.
At the other end of the spectrum, new research approaches have led scholars to recover and draw con clusions from descriptions of behavior in past texts and artwork. They might also ask whether human behavior has changed over the centuries and cultures.
The new methodologies suggest an area of research into how seemingly hidden nonverbal action influences human behavior. How can we assert that things not even noticed by many individuals affect their behavior? Indeed the measurement and descrip tion of individual activities—whether minute changes in facial expression, the influence of odors, the detec tion of slight changes in tone, or a level of tension in posture—do indicate that these affect us. What is it in human communication and behavior that allows these individually unnoticeable things to have any impact on a person‘s behavior? Does bringing these behaviors under conscious control change their impact? Will attention to nonverbal actions improve medical diag nostics? Teaching? Interpersonal relationships? Workplaces? Much remains to do.
