Provides a review of applicable literature, information, and research in nonverbal behavior categories. A brief model is provided to illustrate counselor educators' and supervisors' application and use of this information with novice counselors and its implications. (Author)

Measured interviewee nonverbal behaviors, which included selected temporal speech behaviors, duration and frequency of interviewee adaptor and illustrator hand movements, and gaze at the interviewer. Normal conversation was related to positive self-descriptions. Interviewee interruptions were associated with measures of anxiety. (Author)

Investigated cue leakage during deception. Demonstrated that during a prepared lie (one that is rehearsed or mentally prepared), liars exhibited shorter response latencies and message durations, less smiling, more affirmative nodding and body adaptors than truth tellers did. During a spontaneous lie, liars exhibited more body adapters than truth…

Considers factors important in writing effective application letters including appearance, organization, attitude, style, and tone. Effective and noneffective approaches are illustrated. (RC)

Investigates vocal and nonvocal communication patterns between three groups of mother-infant pairs that include homemakers who prefer not to work, homemakers who prefer to work, and working mothers. (SS)

Points out that teachers frequently emit nonverbal messages that contradict their verbal messages. Isolates vocal cues (special characteristics of the communicator's voice) as the nonverbal behavior for study.

Reconsiders Mehrabian's formula for message impact using the all-channel condition as the criterion variable and the verbal, vocal, and facial channels as predictor variables. Regression equations for each of four messages were quite different from Mehrabian's formula and from each other, indicating a "contextual" rather than…
