The Cambridge Handbook of Group Interaction Analysis

This handbook provides a compendium of research methods that are essential for studying interaction and communication across the behavioral sciences.

Focusing on coding of verbal and nonverbal behaviour and interaction, the handbook is organized into five parts.

Part I provides an introduction and historic overview of the field.

Part II presents areas in which interaction analysis is used, such as relationship research, group research, and nonverbal research.

Part III focuses on development, validation, and concrete application of interaction coding schemes.

Part IV presents relevant data analysis methods and statistics.

Part V contains systematic descriptions of established and novel coding schemes, which allows quick comparison across instruments.
