Has anyone proven that the length of time a visitor stays on your site affects your ranking?

Though I am new to this field, but allow me to post my experience here:
I worked for a site that offers a specific service for U.S. citizens and it rank first in the SE for the main targeted keyword. I must mention here that one wikipedia page ranks 2/3 for the same keyword.
Now when I check the keyword in google.co.in I can see wikipedia page at the top and my site at 2/3 position. Why so?
Here is my guess:
Since the service is quite common in U.S. people can directly come to my site and browse it, but people from other countries are not aware of this thing, so they prefer to learn it from wikipedia, hence they go to the wikipedia page for the same query search. And Google tracks that.
