This study explores associations of mutual eye contact (MEC) with self-accepting and other- accepting conduct by small group members as assessed by pooled group peers and self. Peer- based estimates of individuals' MEC consistently correlated positively and significantly with peers'ratings of their self-accepting behavior, with the spans individuals used for these in terpersonal ratings, and more mildly but consistently with their severity as raters, but not with self-ratings of self-acceptance or other-acceptance or with peer-rated acceptance of others. The results indicate robust and substantial connections between interpersonal behav iors representing the nonverbal and verbal domains despite rather limited reliability of these MEC measures.
