Based on naturally occurring audio-video data collected from university campus settings, this study has identified four nonverbal actions 3⁄4 zhùshì "gaze", diantóu "head nods", wexiao "gentle smile" and shouchù " hand touch" employed by Mandarin Chinese speakers in their interpersonal communication. Detailed data analysis and discussion reveal how Mandarin Chinese speakers manage their affiliation and attachment nonverbally with the co-participants in conversations. Finally, the significance of the study is discussed.Key Words: affiliation, Chinese communication, conversation analysis, nonverbal communication
