“…Studies treating the amount of talk time as the dominance measure could not be incorporated if no further dominance measure was provided (e.g., Buller, LePoire, Aune, & Eloy, 1992). Case studies were excluded as well because they do not allow calculation of an effect size (Coleman & Burton, 1985).…”

Differences in speaking time during a group interaction are hypothesized to reflect differences in individual dominance. In order to test this assumption and to identify potential moderator variables influencing the strength of the predicted association, a meta-analysis was conducted. Whether speaking time is used to convey dominance to the same extent that it is used in inferring dominance was tested by contrasting studies concerned with dominance expressed in speaking time with studies of inferred dominance based on speaking time. Overall, and for the investigated subcategories of studies, the relationship between dominance and speaking time was significant. The strength of the associations, however, differed considerably due to the influence of moderator variables. The results showed that inferred dominance studies showed stronger associations between speaking time and dominance as opposed to the expressed dominance studies. Additionally, if dominance was expressed due to dominance-role assignments, the association between speaking time and dominance was stronger than if individuals with different levels of trait dominance interacted. For men, the association between speaking time and dominance was stronger than for women, and same-gender groups showed stronger associations than opposite-gender groups. Also, increasing group size intensified the strength of the association linearly.

“…Although some studies measured dominance and speaking time, they were excluded because they did not yield any information about the direction or strength of the relationship between the two variables (e.g., Porter, Geis, Cooper, & Newman, 1985;Zdep & Oakes, 1967). Case studies were excluded as well because they do not allow calculation of an effect size (Coleman & Burton, 1985). Case studies were excluded as well because they do not allow calculation of an effect size (Coleman & Burton, 1985).…”

“…Telephone recall systems, for instance, generate more revenue from the treatment that follows than the cost of the c a h themselves (25). Verbal and nonverbal communication between patient and dentist was located within the inducing (ii) and telling phases of the checking cycle (25)(26)(27)(28).…”
