1098.160 The effects of nonverbal behaviors on impression formation and rapport in a triadic
communication, Yukiko Iso, Masanori Kimura, Akiko Sakuragi, Ikuo Daibo, Osaka University,
Japan
This study investigated the relationship between nonverbal expressions and impressions on
interactants in same-sex triadic interactions. 48 students who were not acquaiontace with each
other, participated in either of the following two conditions; the cozy conversation, or the
discussion about a social problem. The results suggested that the effects of nonverbal behaviors on
impressions of interactants were different depending on types of conversation. Especially, smile
was positively correlated with favorable impressions on the cozy conversation, while nodding
showed the same tendency on the discussion. Furthermore, it was suggested the balanced gaze
between other interactans brought favorable impressions and rapport.
1098.161 Predictors of unexpected approaches by strangers, Kikue Sakaguchi, Hasegawa
Toshikazu, The University of Tokyo, Japan
We examined predictors of unexpected approaches by strangers, in light of the estimation of a
target person's social attitude through expressive behavior in a natural gait. Three conditions were
considered; sexual approaches from a man to a woman [1] to pick up, 2]to grope without
permission], and 3)nonsexual approaches. Female walkers reported the frequencies of
encountering those approaches and their personality traits. Male raters viewed video segments of
walking women. Analysis revealed that the best predictor of the frequency of being picked up as a
woman's self-monitoring trait (controlling strongly emotion expression), instead of her grooming
or attractiveness.
1098.162 The perceived relationship between the conversation style and the nonverbal cues in a
triadic conversation, Ikuo Daibo, Manabu Goto, Hayami Miyagi, Osaka Univeristy, Japan
The present study aimed to clarify the perceived relationship between the expressiveness in a
triadic conversation and the nonverbal cues. The expressive dimensions consist of the organizing
ability, relaxing the members, and the nervousness. 393 undergraduates considered mainly the
utterance and the hand movement as the cues of organizing the conversation, the nodding and the
facial expressions as the cues of relaxing the members, and the eye contact and the hand
movement as the cues of interactants’ tension. The posture was used frequently on male
conversation condition. In addition, the high expressive participants (by ACT) attached
importance to the organizing ability.
1098.163 Synchrony tendency in the conversation about emotion episodes, Masanori Kimura,
Ikuo Daibo, Osaka University, Japan
Synchrony tendency refers to the coordination of movement between individuals in interpersonal
communications. So far, most methods of studying synchrony tendency have focused on the
particular channel. However, because communication behavior depends on the emotional tone of
conversation, it might be difficult to understand the synchrony tendency on the particular channel
only. This study made use of the pseudosynchrony experimental paradigm, and the synchrony
level in the conversation on emotional episodes was measured. The results suggested that
