Investigates the influence on the interviewee of a tactic commonly used by psychotherapists and other interviewers; namely, head-nodding. A 45-min clinical employment interview was given to each of 20 Ss in an important real life situation. All conditions of the interview were similar except that, during the 2nd of 3 15-min periods of each interview, E nodded his head all the time S was talking. The result was a 48% increase in S's average duration of single utterances (p of. 001). Crossvalidation with a 2nd E and 20 additional Ss yielded a 67% increase in mean duration of S's single speech units (p of. 001). A control group of 20 additional Ss revealed no such increase when S withheld the head-nodding stimuli. These results, coupled with the results of an earlier study, permit the speculation that an increase in S's speech durations results from S's greater satisfaction under conditions when the interviewer is more active, either verbally or through gesture.(20 ref.)(PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)
