definition: Nonverbal communication is defined as behavior other than written or spoken language that creates meaning for someone (Beebe, Beebe, & Redmond, 2002). It consists of the tone of voice, eye contact, facial expression, posture, movement, and appearance, and it is believed to be the primary way in which feelings, emotions, and attitudes are communicated (Beebe et al., 2002).
