    Area of Science:

    • Psychology
    • Social Psychology
    • Nonverbal Communication

    Background:

    • Impression formation is influenced by personality and expressive style.
    • Nonverbal behaviors play a crucial role in shaping initial perceptions.
    • Individual differences in expressive style warrant further investigation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To examine how personality, social skills, and expressive style affect impression formation.
    • To specifically investigate the role of nonverbal behaviors in initial impressions.
    • To explore potential sex differences in the use and perception of nonverbal cues.

    Main Methods:

    • Sixty-two subjects completed personality, communication skill, and physical attractiveness measures.
    • Subjects' spontaneous explanations were videotaped, and nonverbal cues were coded.
    • Untrained judges rated subjects' likability, speaking effectiveness, and expressivity-confidence.

    Main Results:

    • Nonverbally skilled and extraverted males displayed more fluid behaviors and favorable impressions.
    • Nonverbally skilled females showed increased facial expressiveness, leading to better impressions.
    • Sex differences in nonverbal cue acquisition and usage may influence impression formation.

    Conclusions:

    • Nonverbal communication skills are vital for forming positive initial impressions.
    • Extraversion in males correlates with enhanced nonverbal expressiveness and likability.
    • Facial expressiveness in females positively impacts impression formation.
