- Abstract
- As individuals, impression formation through non-verbal behaviors is an ongoing-process in our daily life influencing key decisions on how we perceive others and making sense of what we observe. In reality, non-verbal cues are emblematic and utilized by individuals in the sense of “reading” others and analyzing other’s body language as well as facial cues. The aim of this paper is to shed lights and assess the area of impression formation accuracy through non-verbal behaviors in three components. Initially, the term nonverbal-behaviors encircle diverse kinds of such behavior, utilized for forming first impressions. Additionally, multiple theories especially “the Attribution Theories” provide insight for analyzing the behaviors of others. Lastly, non-verbal behaviors are influenced by cultural and gender differences affecting the consistency of non-verbal behavior meanings.
