Abstract

In the first study, silent videotapes were made of male and female undergraduates who had been asked to nonverbally treat another person in a sex-stereotyped manner without using proximity or touch cues. Raters who viewed the tapes with one member of the dyad blocked from view were able to guess the sex of the unseen member when watching a male, but not a female. Female raters were more accurate than male raters. In the second study, tapes were made without requesting sex-stereotyped behavior. Raters were barely able to guess the sex of the other person. Thus, although males have a repertoire of nonverbal behaviors which they can use differentially with either sex, they do not necessarily do so in all situations.
