“…We propose that conversation must be seen not as alternating monologues but as a social system (e.g., Bavelas et al, 1989;Clark & Schaefer, 1989;Goodwin, 1981;Rosenfeld, 1987;Scheflen, 1963;Watzlawick, Beavin Bavelas, & Jackson, 1967, Ch. 4).…”

“…However, it also seems likely that various nonverbal messages and subtle verbal cues were exchanged between the partners at the onset of the interaction, the most obvious example being that the more dominant person usually took the seat toward the middle of the room and the less dominant person sat "with his back to the wall," and that these were the first of a series of messages which signaled who was going to do the majority of the talking and served to regulate the process throughout the interaction. Some of these kinds of regulatory patterns of behavior have been discussed by Scheflen (1963Scheflen ( , 1964 and by Duncan (1973). It may be that dominant persons are especially adept in the use of such signals.…”

Eighteen dyads (1 0 female and eight male), each composed so as to have one member who scored high and one who scored low on a test of personality dominance, were given a cooperative problem-solving discussion task lasting fifteen minutes. The persons with the more dominant personalities held the floor more and attempted more interruptions in proportion to their partners' total amounts of speaking time than did those with less dominant personalities. There was also evidence that the high dominant subjects were more successful in completing their interruption attempts, although this result fell somewhat short of statistical significance. Despite the fact that the trend of the results appeared to be consistently stronger among males, there were no significant sex differences. Implications of the findings for the interpersonal communication theory of Watzlawick, Beavin, and Jackson (1 967) are discussed.

Scheflen, in three papers in the journal Psychiatry (Scheflen 1963(Scheflen , 1964(Scheflen , 1965 and then in his book (Scheflen 1973) provides explicit and systematic expositions of ideas and analyses that are a direct extension of Birdwhistell's work. Yves Winkin (1981) has suggested that it is in Scheflen's work that we can best see where an application of Birdwhistell's ideas can lead.…”
