| description | The current study ventured to explore nonverbal behavioral cues associated with the construct of goodness. In a focus-group setting, perceivers from the high-context cultures of Malaysia and China were asked to define goodness and discuss how they interpreted goodness in others.

The study findings have implications for the areas of nonverbal communication, social judgments, and person perception. |
