Synopsis

Psychologists, educators, animal behaviorists, and other researchers who observe and study sequences of behavior have found Bakeman and Gottman's Observing Interaction helpful in planning their research and analyses. Now its companion volume, Analyzing Interaction, provides the practical underpinning and tools to carry out the sorts of sequential analyses suggested by the earlier book. First, a simple notational scheme for sequential data is introduced (SDIS or Sequential Data Interchange Standard). Then basic sequential statistics are discussed, elaborating and extending the material presented in Observing Interaction. Two computer programs are also included with the book. The SDIS program checks and prepares sequential data for efficient analysis. The GSEQ program tallies sequential data into contingency tables designed by the user and computes a variety of sequential statistics.

About this title

Review

'A major contribution to the study of interaction analysis, providing much needed methodological advances in our application of sequential analysis. The authors' programs are clear and versatile. GSEQ is incomparable in the different kinds of sequential analyses permitted.' Campbell Leaper, University of California, Santa Cruz

Book Description

Analyzing Interaction provides the practical underpinning and tools to carry out the sorts of sequential analyses essential to social psychology.
