Abstract

Non-verbal communication is one of the important ways of human communication. It not only supports verbal communication to express emotion and convey information, but also is the carrier of culture like verbal language. American psychologist Albert Mehrabian found that in interpersonal communication, non-verbal behaviors accounted for 93%. However, in actual cross-cultural process, people tend to pay more attention to verbal communication. Therefore, this study mainly made an overview of non-verbal communication and discussed its positive role in cross-cultural interaction.
