ABSTRACT
The study of strategic communication encompasses a very ext ensive area of research. Topics such as attitude change , conformity, deception, conflict, decision making, and impression management are some of the many issues th at relate to strategic communication . For the most part , the research on strategic communication has focused on verbal behavior, or the content side of communication, with less attention paid to the role of nonverbal behavior. That condition has been changing in recent years with the growth of research on nonverbal behavior in interaction.
