Which of the following is NOT true about nonverbal communication?

Question

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

Consider each statement in turn when evaluating nonverbal communication.
Option A: 'It helps establish relational-level meanings.' This is accurate because nonverbal cues such as eye contact, posture, and tone convey the nature of relationships (e.g., dominance, warmth, distance) beyond the literal content of words.
Option B: 'It does not vary over time.' This is incorrect. Nonverbal communication is dynamic and can change across contexts, cultures, individuals, and over time as relationships evolve, making it variable rather than fixed.
Option C: 'It is not always clear.' This is true in many situations; nonverbal cues can be ambiguous or interpreted differently, leading to potential miscommunication.
Option D: 'It reflects cultural values.' This statement is true because nonverbal norms—such as gestures, proxemics, and rituals—embody a culture’s beliefs and social expectations.
Therefore, the statement that is NOT true is option B, since nonverbal communication is indeed variable over time and context.
