Sumario:The article explores the risks of decontextualized analyses in nonverbal communication (NVC), highlighting how the lack of context can distort interpretations and affect the validity of conclusions. It also examines two significant obstacles to accurate NVC interpretation: overanalysis, which involves attributing exaggerated meanings to nonverbal signals, and cognitive biases, which distort information according to our prior beliefs. The article also emphasizes the need for scientific rigor in the study of NVC, using systematic and empirical methods to ensure that the interpretations are objective and precise. Ultimately, a correct interpretation of NVC not only improves personal relationships but also provides valuable tools for academic research and professional analysis in an increasingly diverse and connected world.
