The objects of our physical environment also serve as non verbal information sources, providing clues as to how they are to be understood, related to, and whether and how they are to be used

There factors can play an important role in term of message transmission, reception and interpretation Too little talking - disinterest Macrolevel : general decisions as to whether to even engage in conversation at a particular point in time Timeliness-being “late” or “early”- be a potential information source
The meaning of verbal & non verbal messages depend not only on the messages that are available but also on our individual ways of processing information and on our social interactions with others Our verbal & non verbal behaviours – some intentionally enacted-create a pool of messages that is part of the environment that surrounds us
