On Defining Conversational Coordination and Rapport
نویسنده
چکیده
The construct of rapport is arguably one of the central, if not the central, construct necessary to understanding successful helping relationships and to explaining the development of personal relationships. The role of nonverbal behavior in initiating and signaling rapport has its roots in the work of Watzlawick, Beavin, and Jackson (1967). Tickle-Degnen and Rosenthal substantially advance our knowledge about the relationship between rapport and nonverbal behavior in the meta-analyses presented in this and other articles (see TickleDegnen & Rosenthal, 1987). My purpose in this response is to offer a critical reaction to the conceptual analyses of this article and to end with what, I hope, are constructive suggestions.

Virtual Rapport 2.0
Rapport, the feeling of being "in sync" with your conversational partners, is argued to underlie many desirable social effects. By generating proper verbal and nonverbal behaviors, virtual humans have been seen to create rapport during interactions with human users. In this paper, we introduce our approach to creating rapport following Tickle-Degnen and Rosenberg’s threefactor (positivity, mutu...
متن کاملBuilding Discount ECAs for the Study of Rapport
In this paper, we report our experience in using off-the-shelf software and hardware to build embodied conversational agents in immersive environments. Our underlying research focuses on paralinguistic factors in building rapport between humans and ECAs, and conducting this research requires ECAs that can (a) produce sophisticated full-body animation and (b) interact with humans across multiple...
متن کاملBehavioral and Judged Coordination in Adult Informal Social Interactions: Vocal and Kinesic Indicators
Coordination in social interaction means that persons adjust their actions to those of their partners. Common methods for measuring coordination include judgments and behavioral covariation. Sixteen 1-min segments of interaction were chosen (8 high and 8 low in behavioral coordination). In Study 1, 51 people judged the 16 segments, rating each for coordination. Study 2 (N = 17) used different i...
متن کاملBuilding Rapport between Human and ECA: A Pilot Study
This study is part of a longer-term project to provide embodied conversational agents (ECAs) with behaviors that enable them to build and maintain rapport with their human partners. We focus on paralinguistic behaviors, and especially nonverbal behaviors, and their role in communicating rapport. Using an ECA that guides its players through a speech-controlled game, we attempt to measure the fam...
متن کاملTowards a Dyadic Computational Model of Rapport Management for Human-Virtual Agent Interaction
Rapport has been identified as an important function of human interaction, but to our knowledge no model exists of building and maintaining rapport between humans and conversational agents over the long-term that operates at the level of the dyad. In this paper we leverage existing literature and a corpus of peer tutoring data to develop a framework able to explain how humans in dyadic interact...
