  4. Body movements. • Body  movement  is   • important  part  of    successful communication;   • it  reinforces, emphasizes,and  clarifies  verbally expressed  ideas.

  5. Gestures. • A  gesture  is  a  natural  movement  of  any  part  of  the  body that  conveys  a thought or emotion or   reinforcesoral expression.

  6. Postures • Postures are used to indicate attitudes, status, affective moods, approval, deception, warmth etc.

  8. Distance. • Public distance • Social distance • Personal distance • Intimate distance

  9. Touch. • Even a handshake tells much about an individual’s character. The human skin has hundreds of thousands of submicroscopic nerve endings, serving as tactual receptors and detecting pressure, temperature, texture, pain.

  10. Dress. • Clothing indicates a great amount of information. It identifies sex, age, socioeconomic class, status, role, group membership, personality or mood, physical climate, and time in history.
