Non-verbal communication is often regarded as extremely culture bound. This as such largely correct, as the remainder of this chapter will point out. However, certain aspects of non-verbal communication are universal. Research into facial expression in particular seems to suggest a strong agreement across cultural boundaries. Shaver, Schwartz et al. (1987) discuss this aspect extensively. However, although the recognition of facial expression seems to be universal, the extend to which feelings and emotions are expressed through facial expression is culture bound. In other words, although people from different cultures are likely to agree on the emotions or feelings that a certain facial expression communicates, they are unlikely to attribute the same importance to this. For example Asian cultures are often characterized as less expressive in their facial expressions than for example Latin cultures.
