El rol del lenguaje no verbal en la comunicación efectiva: una perspectiva psicológica y social.

Abstract

This essay analyses nonverbal language and its fundamental role in effective communication, highlighting its impact on message interpretation, emotional perception and interpersonal relationships from psychological, social and cultural perspectives. The main objective is to examine how nonverbal components, such as gestures, postures, facial expressions and tones of voice, complement verbal communication and enrich its meaning. Based on a bibliographic review, this work compiles and examines relevant theories, such as Mehrabian's 7-38-55 rule and Darwin's theory of universal expressions, also exploring cultural variations and practical applications of nonverbal language in specific contexts, such as the workplace and education. The conclusions highlight that nonverbal language is essential to avoid misunderstandings, strengthen bonds and achieve effective communication in an increasingly globalized world.
