Has anyone done behaviour coding for an interaction with 3+ people? We have video footage that needs to be coded and I'd like to see some examples of a coding manual.
Burgoon et al, 2014, "Patterns of Nonverbal Behavior Associated with Truth and Deception: Illustrations from Three Experiments". They have used PC software, such as C-BAS (Meservy 2010) and THEME (Magnusson 2005).
I found a manual by Bales (1950) on how to code groups called Interaction Process Analysis which is super useful, for anyone who is interested. I'm now looking for a way to integrate it with more current software to analyze the data... maybe R?
I am a group analyst working in the UK. A few years ago some colleagues and I experimented with a programme developed by the Knowledge Media Institute at the Open University, Milton Keynes, UK. It's called Compendium, and is free to download. Just Google Compendium for the link. It's a dialogue mapping tool, originally developed to help track ideas as they emerge in a group context. A colleague at the Open University helped us to adapt it for use in coding exchanges between members of an analytic group. The results of our experiment were written up in our "house" journal, Group Analysis, under the title, "Mapping the Matrix". Sadly, as a busy clinician rather than a researcher I did not find the time to develop ideas further.
