Developmental Aspects of Nonverbal Behavior in Small Group SettingsUniversity of Wisconsin-Milwaukee Observational data on nonverbal behaviors in small groups are analyzed to assess whether such behaviors significantly change within or across group meetings Results show that kinesic limb movements (arm placements on the lap with palms up or palms down), posture (sitting upright or leaning back), eye shifts toward or away from direct eye contact, and body orientation (angle) relative to another interactant significantly changed across five group sessions. Discussion focuses on relating results of nonverbal behavioral changes to patterns reported for distributions of verbal interaction behavior.
