Abstract
Three nonverbal (or coverbal) behaviors that accompany interpersonal communication—nodding the head, smiling, and raising the eyebrows—were investigated during interviews with 60 blind and sighted school children. The interviews were videotaped, and the frequency and duration of each behavior was measured. Differences between the two groups and the study's implications for kinesic training of blind individuals are discussed.
