Individuals use territoriality to establish their identity and communicate to others. Communicating Through Body Movement Kinesics is the study of the potential that posture, movement, gestures, and facial expressions have for communication purposes. Ekman and Friesen categorized body movements into five types. Emblems are substitutes for words. Adaptors reveal an individual's internal states.
Regulators control communication.
Affect displays are movements of the body and face to show emotion. Illustrators help to reinforce verbal messages. Communicating Through Touch Tactile communication is communication through touching. It is often difficult to understand because norms of acceptable behavior and the context of the situation govern when touch is appropriate. According to Winter, there are different types of touch that vary on a continuum from impersonal to intimate.
