Birdwhistell’s Principles of Kinesics

Answer 19

Kinesic communication varies according to culture, and even among microcultures (or subcultures).
Kinesic behavior is complementary to, rather than redundant with, verbal communication.
We must compare and contrast nonverbal codes time and time again in context before we can make accurate interpretations.
We should only try to analyze the kinesic behavior of others when we have enough information about them to contextualize it. (Birdwhistell, 1974)
