Outline of research activities
Satisfactory communication with others enables us to reduce interpersonal relationship stress and to enhance well-being.
Towards providing communication training that can help people communicate well, I have been studying verbal and nonverbal behavior of dyad, triad or small group in face-to-face and computer-mediated communication. For example, I examined what verbal and nonverbal channels were used by senders, and their channels had effectives on receivers in interpersonal persuasion.
I am currently studying communication behaviors and psychological safety during consensus building.
