Diverse multi-modal behaviors provide important cues in establishing and maintaining interactional rapport. However, these behaviors are often subtle and culture-specific. In this paper, we focus on two forms of backchannel behavior: vocal backchannels and non-verbal headnods. We employ a corpus of quasimonologic story-telling interactions elicited from three distinct language/cultural groups: ...

An attempt was carried out to simulate interactions between customers and providers, and understand the rationality of a social network using a cellular automata model. A longitudinal research study was conducted, based on a dyadic perspective in aesthetics clinics, approaching clients and service providers. The evolution of opinions regarding the associated service quality was then modeled wit...

Clinicians learn step by step how to apply the therapy techniques and to select the appropriate therapy materials (described in detail in practical appendices). The book also provides practical advice about dealing with group processes and individual dyadic situations. Differential indications, assessment, therapy planning and evaluation are presented. Therapists will also learn how to use IPT ...

Embodied Conversational Agents have been widely used to simulate dyadic interactions with users. We want to explore the context of expression of interpersonal attitudes in simulated group conversations. We are presenting a model that allows agents to exhibit a variety of nonverbal behaviors (e.g gestures, facial expressions, proxemics) depending on the interpersonal attitudes that they want to ...

A social interaction is a social exchange between two or more individuals, where individuals modify and adjust their behaviors in response to their interaction partners. Our social interactions are one of most fundamental aspects of our lives and can profoundly affect our mood, both positively and negatively. With growing interest in virtual reality and avatar-mediated interactions, it is desir...

Human communication is a dynamical and interactive process that naturally induces an active flow of interpersonal coordination, and synchrony, along various behavioral dimensions. Assessing and characterizing the temporal dynamics of synchrony during an interaction is essential for fully understanding the human communication mechanisms. In this work, we focus on uncovering the temporal variabil...

We address the problem of tracking continuous levels of a participant’s activation, valence and dominance during the course of affective dyadic interactions, where participants may be speaking, listening or doing neither. To this end, we extract detailed and intuitive descriptions of each participant’s body movements, posture and behavior towards his interlocutor, and speech information. We app...

Research on sex differences in dyadic interactions has largely neglected the effects of sex-role attitudes and has focused on overt behavior to the relative omission of information-gathering and affective responses. In addition to behavioral observations, individuals in sameor opposite-sex pairs completed questionnaires on recall and descriptions o f the partners, as well as ratings o f liking....

The boundedness of Bessel–Riesz operators defined on Lebesgue spaces and Morrey in measure metric is discussed this research study. maximal operator traditional dyadic decomposition are used to study the Bessel-Riesz operators. We investigate interaction between kernel space parameters get results see how affects kernel-bound
