Analysis of Nonverbal Involvement in Dyadic Interactions

In the following, we comment on the assignment of the dynamic variable, its meaning, indicators and furthermore its dimensions. We examine some interaction models which incorporate nonverbal involvement as a dynamic variable. Then we give a short overview of two recently undertaken studies in advance of dyadic interactions focusing on nonverbal involvement measured in a multivariate manner. The first study concentrates on conflict regulation of interacting children being friends. The second study examines intrapersonal conflict and its social expression through "emotional overinvolvement" (EOI) of patients in psychotherapy. We also mention a pilot-study in which the proxemic behaviour between two children in a conflict episode is analysed focusing here on violation of personal space and its restoration through synchronisation. We end with some comments on multiple dimensions and scaling with respect to involvement including thoughts about multidimensional interaction data (MID).
