This present research investigated the relationship between personal\nimpressions and the acoustic nonverbal communication conveyed by employees\nbeing interviewed. First, we investigated the extent to which different\nconversation topics addressed during the interview induced changes in the\ninterviewees' acoustic parameters. Next, we attempted to predict the observed\nand self-assessed attitudes and body language of the interviewees based on the\nacoustic data. The results showed that topicality caused significant deviations\nin the acoustic parameters statistics, but the ability to predict the personal\nperceptions of the interviewees based on their acoustic non-verbal\ncommunication was relatively independent of topicality, due to the natural\nredundancy inherent in acoustic attributes. Our findings suggest that joint\nmodeling of speech and visual cues may improve the assessment of interviewee\nprofiles.\n
