  4. Nonverbal behavior as Cues Innate (biological) behaviors can take on cultural meanings when we learn it is appropriate or inappropriate to act in certain ways. Facial expressions of anger, disgust, happiness, fear, sadness, and surprise are recognizable across cultures. Later, a 7th emotion was added contempt (107).

  5. Nonverbal Communication As Intentional Communication Nonverbal communication occurs when a non-spoken symbol is used to convey a specific message.

  6. Others define NV as those actions and attributes of humans that have socially shared meaning, are intentionally sent or interpreted as intentional, are consciously sent or consciously received, and have the potential for feedback from the receiver ( 109). A broader definition includes the use of environment, such as décor and color or feng
