| Abstract | The purpose of this study was to investigate which verbal and nonverbal behaviors people used to evaluate a stranger’s state extraversion. Participants who were matched in pairs by sex and similar levels of extraversion engaged in two, 10-minute videotaped discussions. In half of the pairs, preceding the first discussion, one participant received a written instruction to use an extraverted conversation style (instructed condition), while their partner and both participants in the control group pairs received no instruction on how to act (uninstructed condition). In pairs composed of one instructed participant and one uninstructed participant, both partners rated the instructed participant higher on state extraversion and positive affect than the uninstructed participant. Although no significant differences were found on extraversion-linked behaviors for the instructed and control participants during the discussion task, instructed and uninstructed partners exhibited different behaviors depending on whether they were introverts or extraverts. Uninstructed extraverts used more toward arm gestures and made more expansive arm gestures than did instructed extraverts. Uninstructed extraverts also showed a greater decrease in eyeblink rate (EBR) than did instructed extraverts, while instructed introverts experienced a greater decrease in EBR than did uninstructed introverts. In addition, Introverts attended to facial behaviors and extraverts attended to arm gestures when evaluating state extraversion and positive and negative affect exhibited by themselves and their partners. |
