The majority of research that has been previously conducted has focused on the use of nonverbal behaviors, in marriages, as a way to maintain stable relationships. In this study the researchers focus is on whether there is a positive correlation between positive nonverbal behaviors and the duration of dating, committed, and martial relationships.

The field of socially assistive robotics (SAR) aims to build robots that help people through social interaction. Human social interaction involves complex systems of behavior, and modeling these systems is one goal of SAR. Nonverbal behaviors, such as eye gaze and gesture, are particularly amenable to modeling through machine learning because the effects of the system—the nonverbal behaviors th...

This study examined the effectiveness of enhancing humanagent interaction through the use of nonverbal behaviors. A taxonomy is described, which organizes nonverbal behaviors into functional categories and the manner in which they can be embodied (i.e. through gesture, posture, paralanguage, eye contact and facial expression). Prototype computer characters were created according to guidelines e...

By designing socially intelligent robots that can more effectively communicate and interact with us, we can increase their capacity to function as collaborative partners. Our research goal is to develop robots capable of engaging in nonverbal communication, which has been argued to be at the core of social intelligence. We take a human-centric approach that closely aligns with how people are th...

Behavioral consistency has been at the center of debates regarding the stability of personality. We argue that people are consistent but that such consistency is best observed in nonverbal behavior. In Study 1, participants' verbal and nonverbal behaviors were observed in a mock interview and then in an informal interaction. In Study 2, medical students' verbal and nonverbal behaviors were obse...

The vertical dimension of interpersonal relations (relating to dominance, power, and status) was examined in association with nonverbal behaviors that included facial behavior, gaze, interpersonal distance, body movement, touch, vocal behaviors, posed encoding skill, and others. Results were separately summarized for people's beliefs (perceptions) about the relation of verticality to nonverbal ...

A method for recognizing or estimating learners’ affective state plays a key role for realizing agent-based conversational e-Learning. In this paper, we focus on the learners’ interest level as an example of the important affective state, and investigate a method for estimating it from their nonverbal behaviors. In conversational situations, the sense of the nonverbal behaviors will vary depend...

behaviors of people with Asperger syndrome, with the intent to give an account of the severity of symptoms in the area of nonverbal interaction, as well as providing a profile of nonverbal behaviors that may be targeted for intervention. Through this communication profile, overall nonverbal ability is calculated in a group of 20 subjects with Asperger syndrome. The proposed scale also includes ...
