DEFINITION: BEHAVIOURAL COMMUNICATION

It addresses people's use of day-to-day behaviors as a form of communication.

Any behavior (or its absence when one is expected) may be judged as communicative if it has the intent to convey a message.

For example, an expressive hairstyle, show of a certain emotion or simply doing (or not doing) the dishes all can be means by which people may convey messages to each other.

Some people more than others tend to engage in behavioral communication in spite of the alternatives of using verbal communication.
