Humans have developed various communication systems, with speech and language being the most prominent, but nonverbal communication also plays a crucial role. Mehrabian’s research shows that body language accounts for 55% and tone of voice for 38% of overall communication, while verbal content constitutes only 7%. Nonverbal communication encompasses all information perceived through sight, hearing, smell, or touch. According to Argyle (Hall, Knapp, 2010: 11), the four main functions of nonverbal communication are: expressing emotions, establishing relationships, representing, and supporting verbal communication. This paper explores the differences in nonverbal communication among European cultures, drawing on Wilbur Schramm's field theory. The aim is to highlight these cultural differences to improve intercultural communication and encourage learning and respect for diversity. As evidence of the existence of differences between cultures in nonverbal communication, the paper cites research conducted in European cultures. In cross-cultural encounters, misunderstandings can arise due to differing communication styles and cultural norms, as illustrated by this paper. Given the high level of global connectivity and encounters with various cultures, understanding cultural differences, including thoughts, customs, and behaviors, is crucial for successful intercultural communication.
