Communication is a huge need for people.People communicate with others to live, learn and experience life. Communication is divided in to two sections verbal communication and nonverbal communication. Verbal communication is based on using words and sounds to communicate. In the other hand nonverbal communication is sending visible massages without sounds to people. The massages contain feelings and thoughts and people show them by their postures or gestures. This literature review will written with the questions theme. This paper will addressee the meaning of nonverbal communication and what is it? and will focus on how much of communication is nonverbal. The review will answer why do people use nonverbal communication ? and then how can humans read nonverbal communication?. ! What is nonverbal communication? This book (A. Pease, & B. Pease,2004) says that ’’Most researchers now agree that words are used for conveying information, while body language is used for negotiating’’.Non verbal communication shows the condition of the mind. A hand movement could reveal the real feeling or thoughts in the brain. For example a woman who is conscious of her belly fat may smooth her dress down a lot. Similarly in (T. Gamble,& M.Gamble,2013) says nonverbal communication ‘‘it is an actions humans do including their appearance,use of objects,sound,time,smell and space ’’. Nonverbal communication reveals a person state of mind and the real feeling without being aware or having a conscious control over it such as facial expressions, eye movement, gestures. By non verbal communication people can change the meaning or the understanding of the verbal massages. For example winking at the end of the words . The same in (Butland,2012) ‘‘nonverbal communication is a complex system of behaviors and meanings’’. Also nonverbal communication is any communication without the use of words spoken or written. Nonverbal communication is the way people move , the tone of their voice, the eye movement, the space between people and the way they dress. ! How much of communication is nonverbal? According to (A. Pease, & B. Pease,2004) book they talk about nonverbal communication and how much is it from communication in general. A body language researcher Albert Mehrabian in the 1950s found out that people use vocal massages 38% in the same time they use 55% nonverbal. Like Mehrabian found out in 1970s-1980s that in a conversation face to face less than 35% is verbal and more than 65% is non verbal. In the book (J. Navarro, &M. Kartins, 2008) they say non verbal communication is approximately 60% to 65% of communication and it includes touching, posture, clothes, timbre and voice volume. ! Why people use nonverbal communication? “ People are not always aware they are communicating nonvebally” (J. Navarro, &M. Kartins, 2008). People use non verbal communication unconsciously. It always reflect the true state of the mind but people can learn it to improve their life and people use non verbal communication because it is universal “it works everywhere” when learning the meaning of a non verbal behavior people can use it in lots of different environment. More reasons in (T. Gamble,& M.Gamble,2013) people use non verbal communication to show displeasure to others with out using verbal communication and to show emotions verbal communication some times can not express deep emotions but facial expressions can. “A slumped over posture and a scowl on your face can suggest that you are unhappy wile your clinched fist and tense muscles can communicate just how unhappy you might be”. People use non verbal communication in their appearance to change the why others respond to them and protecting themselves from judgments and the cultural by dressing or grooming people respond differently. ! How can we read nonverbal communication? Researchers believed that people who interpret and read non verbal communication will be more successful in life (J. Navarro, &M. Kartins, 2008). For example people tend to lean away from each other when they are feeling uncomfortable around each other and an eye block when a person cover his or her eyes it shows one of tree things consternation, disbelief, or disagreement.When studying non verbal behavior especially negative experience the people action after it use to calm them down after the un pleasant experience the brain give the body comfort. For example asking a person a question and they answered with ‘NO’ and then the coved there neck that mean that they are uncomfortable or afraid. Similarly in (A. Pease, & B. Pease,2004)” non verbal communication signals are the same all over the world”. Smile means happens, a scowl shows anger or sadness and nodding the head is universally noun means ‘YES’. In these book there are tree rules for accurate reading ,reading gestures in grops not one by one , look for congruence people always be lave what they see not what they hear , read gestures in context. ! !
