Abstract(in English) This study experimentally examines relationships between such nonverbal behaviors as degree of speech, hand gestures, head direction and body distance, and subjective evaluation of an activity of atmosphere created during a six-person conversation, in order to establish an estimation model of atmosphere in interpersonal communication. A conversation group consisted of three males and females who met for the first time, and they talked for 12 minutes overall and rated the activity of atmosphere during conversation. Our results with regression analysis shows that speech time, crosstalk with 4 persons, hand gestures, and size of conversational space had high correlation with the subjectively rated atmosphere. Throughout some analyses, we discussed fitness of the several regression models compared to the estimation model for triadic conversation.
