Cues for Inferring Secrets Held by Others during Social Interactions

Naoya Tabata

Abstract: Cues for inferring the secrets held by others were investigated by asking 141 undergraduates to respond to an open-ended question about cues used for inferring whether other people were withholding a secret during daily social interactions. Analysis indicated evasion of a topic, silent pauses, and aversion of gaze were common cues for inferring secrets by these undergraduates.

The sense of unwanted transparency is the feeling that another person seemingly notices something about us that we would rather conceal. Two experiments were conducted to investigate impressions about responses arising from the sense of unwanted transparency. In Study 1, observers were asked to watch the videotape recorded in Tabata (2009) and judge the participantsʼ responses arising from the sense of unwanted transparency. In Study 2, based on Tabata (2009), both verbal responses and nonverbal responses that were characteristic in arousing the sense of unwanted transparency were manipulated in the videotaped conversation. Participants were asked to watch the videotape and judge the confederateʼs impressions. The results indicated that unnatural impressions were heightened by nonverbal responses such as longer silences, averting the gaze, and increased self-touching. This suggests that these responses arising from the sense of unwanted transparency may produce a self-fulfilling prophecy. However, seemingly deceptive verbal responses were only related to the dubious impressions of the statements.
