For decades now, researchers from a variety of disciplines study nonverbal cues and behaviours such as facial expressions, gaze patterns, postures, and body movements. However, while scientific knowledge is substantial (more than 30 000 peer-reviewed publications), a variety of unfounded, discredited, and pseudoscientific claims are disseminated on traditional and social medias. This presentation will present an overview of the scientific research on nonverbal communication, and its relevance for practitioners. Popular unfounded, discredited, and pseudoscientific claims, and the implication of their use, will also be addressed.
