Three nonverbal (or coverbal) behaviors that accompany interpersonal communication—nodding the head, smiling, and raising the eyebrows—were investigated during interviews with 60 blind and sighted school children. The interviews were videotaped, and the frequency and duration of each behavior was measured. Differences between the two groups and the study's implications for kinesic training of blind individuals are discussed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
