Abstract

Persons engaged in videotaped dyadic conversations were rated on dominance by 40 judges, and 13 behavioural variables related to speech and gaze behaviour were systematically observed.Principal component analysis showed that the variance in judges’ ratings of dominance could for a large part (71 per cent) be explained from the variance in behaviour.Most strongly associated with dominance judgement were variables related to speech duration. Gaze behaviour seemed to be associated with dominance impression if seen in relation to speech behaviour. Several implications of the findings are discussed.
