Abstract

A conversation over a meal and its support as a research topic has been gaining attention. Although all the researches so far assumed all participants have a meal, this paper points out the uneven meal distribution setting as an additional case to analyze. After conducting a face-to-face dyadic conversation experiment, analyses show that uneven meal distribution induces the narrator-active listener structure in dyadic conversation at a table. Accordingly the setting elicits attentive listening communication and proposed design of attentive listening agents.
