This study was aimed to see whether a difference in provided channels caused differences in the nonverbal behavior in dyadic communication. This study involved 24 female students, i.e. 8 students with their partners the telephone situation and for the face-to-face situation. A video system was used to gather the data of the naturally occurring head-movement during requesting, as an action example. The results showed that there was more head-movement in the face-to-face situation as compared to the head-movement in the telephone situation, both for the mobility and the complexity of movement. The head-movement went in line with the whole body movement, and went in the opposite direction of the eye movement.
