Nonverbal behavior plays an important role in the interpersonal relationships of people who are from different countries and different sex. This cross-cultural study aims to investigate the knowledge of nonverbal cues in Iranian and Italian people taking into account the gender differences as well. a non-verbal questionnaire was utilized in order to evaluate the knowledge of nonverbal cues in samples of 360 Italian and 360 Iranian participants. The results exposed that, the Italian group got a higher rating in nonverbal cues than Iranian one, which means different cultural backgrounds affect the individuals’ knowledge of non-verbal cues, and also in the Iranian group, the women received higher rates than the men, indicating that the women have more non-verbal decoding accuracy compared to the men.
