This article investigated the role of nonverbal immediacy in building group cohesion and effective learning outcomes. By assessing the perception of 82 participants' nonverbal immediacy and group cohesion, results showed the more effective nonverbal behaviors used among teammates, the more positive the increase in learning outcomes. Moreover, group task integration was the only element of group cohesion that was impacted by nonverbal immediacy behaviors. Discussion focuses on future study suggestions and explains the dynamics of significant relationships between nonverbal immediacy and group cohesion variables. This study offers important insights to understand the communicative behaviors group individuals use to enhance their immediacy.
