This study investigated responsive verbal words (RVW) in daily conversation between acquaintances. The questionnaire was conducted with Japanese undergraduate students.Types and frequencies of RVW were analyzed and described. It was hypothesized that (a)some favorable RVW would be used in daily conversation more, (b) less favorable RVW would be used less in conversations with acquaintances. However, some inconsistencies were detected with the data of actual RVW frequencies and evaluative impression for each RVW (feeling good or bad about each RVW). Some RVW were more favorably evaluated but not used so often, whereas other RVW were used more but less favorably evaluated. The results were discussed from the viewpoint of unconsciousness of positive/negative effect of RVW. Further researches on RVW are needed for prospecting possible social dilemmas in line with habitual and unconscious RVW usage patterns.
