Nonverbal Communication refers to the process by which we communicate via wordless cues. This includes things like how we dress, our facial expressions, posture, gestures, rate of speech, pitch and tone of voice. - Cherry, K. (2016, June 9). Types of nonverbal communication. Retrieved from https://www.verywell.com/types-of-nonverbal-communication-2795397
According to experts, a substantial portion of our communication is nonverbal. Every day, we respond to thousands on nonverbal cues and behaviors including postures, facial expression, eye gaze, gestures and tone of voice. From our handshakes to our hairstyles, nonverbal details reveal who we are and impact how we relate to other people.

Search Strategies
Add keywords related to the topic; e.g. psychology, nonverbal communication, culture.
Use AND/OR/NOT between keywords; e.g. psychology and nonverbal communication not depression.
Use quotations around terms for exact searches e.g. “social psychology” and “nonverbal communication”
Use a wildcard* for word variants e.g. non*verbal = non verbal, non-verbal and nonverbal.
Use wildcard for words that can be spelt differently e.g. colo*r = color and colour
