IQ Correlates of Speech and Silence Behavior Under Three Dyadic Speaking Conditions

Matarazzo, Joseph D.; And Others

Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology, 43, 2, 198-204, Apr 75

The duration of utterance, latency, and interruption speech behavior of 30 young job applicants was studied under three speaking conditions. In the third condition, the employment interview, a number of positive correlations emerged. Verbal IQ is positively correlated with a speaker's mean duration of utterance, especially when he is discussing his occupational history. (Author)
