Innovative
Instruction in the Nonverbal Communication Course
Scheduled Time:
Thu, Nov 16 - 2:00pm - 3:15pm Building/Room: Convention Center /
Room 207 A
Co-sponsor: Instructional Communication
Abstract: Courses
in nonverbal communication are becoming more prevalent as either
required or elective options for undergraduate and graduate
students. This roundtable discussion will provide a forum in which
nonverbal teacher/scholars can share innovative methods of
instruction that they have developed for their nonverbal
communication courses. Approaches to graduate and undergraduate
instruction will be discussed, as well as instruction of such “hot”
topics as nonverbal communication and technology, privacy
management, and the role of nonverbal cues in sexual situations.

New Directions
in Detecting and Deterring Deception
Scheduled Time:
Fri, Nov 17 - 2:00pm - 3:15pm Building/Room: Hilton/Salon Del
Ray North
Respondent:
H. Dan O’Hair (Univ of Oklahoma)
Abstract: Human
rates for detecting deception are notoriously poor, hovering around
54%. Concerns over detection accuracy have spawned wide-ranging
research. Four directions are presented and discussed by this panel
of experts. Bond reports results of an experiment testing the
potential benefits of detectors having time to investigate another’s
claims before making a final judgment of truthfulness. Levine
reports results from a cheating experiment and identifies the extent
to which the distribution of truthful and deceptive responding
affects detection rates. Burgoon discusses and illustrates
alternative ways to automate deception detection by using automated
linguistic analysis on transcripts and texts, acoustic analysis of
audio signals, and computer vision analysis of video features. Blair
offers an alternative to detection by presenting an experiment that
tests deterrence theory, which posits that people’s likelihood of
engaging in deception in the first place can be influenced by
certainty of being caught and severity of punishment. O’Hair
discusses the overall utility of these various lines of research in
advancing understanding of deception and its detection.

The Relative
Importance of Verbal and Nonverbal Communication: Evidence from
Social Psychological Research
Scheduled
Time: Sat, Nov 18 - 2:00pm - 3:15pm Building/Room: Hilton / La
Duquesa
Local Scholars Panel
Abstract: The
findings of the programs of research of James W. Pennebaker and
William Ickes converge to suggest that the verbal aspects of
communication are somewhat more important, whereas the nonverbal
aspects of communication may be somewhat less important, than the
bandwagon of nonverbal behavior research that acquired momentum
during the 1970s has led people to believe. Pennebaker and Ickes
will discuss this evidence and its implications for communication
research, and Mark Knapp and Ross Buck will offer their
interpretation of and provide commentary on the evidence. This
session also continues the nonverbal communication division's
commitment to inviting local scholars from our own and other
disciplines to participate at NCA.
