Purposive Communication: Non-Verbal Messages Among ASEAN Countries

Uploaded by

Pakistanis stand closer than Westerners during conversations, especially those of the same gender. Physical contact is common between those of the same gender through holding hands or touching arms. Eye contact is important, but winking has sexual connotations. Bangladeshis also stand close together and are comfortable with physical contact between those of the same gender. They minimize facial expressions and are careful listeners. Sri Lankans respect personal space but tilt their head to indicate agreement. Gestures should use the whole hand rather than a pointed finger.
