- Title
The Association Between Nonverbal Sensitivity and Flirting Detection Accuracy.
- Authors
Watkins, JessicaL.; Hall, JeffreyA.
- Abstract
The present investigation explores the association between nonverbal sensitivity (i.e., the Social Skills Inventory) and accuracy of flirting detection in videos of third-party zero-acquaintance interactions. The results showed no sex differences in detection accuracy and no association between nonverbal sensitivity and overall flirting detection accuracy. Participants' (N = 257) social sensitivity, however, was negatively associated with accurately judging flirting in female targets. The results are discussed in light of past research on courtship and nonverbal sensitivity.
