Nonverbal Communication, Human Body, Anthropomorphic Factor, Communication PsychologyAbstract
The sizes, forms, proportions and appearance of the human body, i.e. the anthropomorphic factor (AF), has generated worldwide academic disagreement. On one side, there are scientists who include it in the study of nonverbal communication (NVC), on the other hand, there are authors who exclude it. For this reason, the purpose of this article is to elucidate whether the AF is an analytical element in NVC. To this end, a conceptual decantation was necessary through an ontological examination; therefore, this research provides criteria to create a theoretical framework of the AF as subcategory of the NVC. In addition, when reviewing scientific doctrine and research of evolutionary psychologists, it is found that the AF: a) is a non-linguistic sign that sends at least 15 different messages, b) is coupled with the definition of NVC and complies with all its structural elements, c) it can be found as a mechanism of expression in other species and d) it supports the verbal system by executing 4 four functions. Consequently, it is mandatory to continue with experimental research which is limited to communication psychology, in order to explore other AF aspects involved in social cognition.
