Following participation in an experiment, nine subjects were interviewed and debriefed by a single experimenter. Two temporal measures of vocalization were derived from 7.5 second samples obtained during the dialogue and monologue portions of the debriefing. Marked influence of the interviewee on the interviewer's vocal patterning was apparent for both the dialogue and the monologue. The differences between the two vocalization measures and the possible implications of such subtle nonlexical influences are discussed.
