Dynamics of social interactive behavior: A computerized procedure for analyzing trends, patterns, and sequences.

BEVRECS: A general-purpose system for making and analyzing behavior stream protocols

“…The analysis of protocols for nonrandom sequences of EVENTS using Markov chain analysis is yet another topic that has received a great deal of attention. These three approaches to the analysis of high-resolution protocols are described in detail in Jensen, Bobbitt, and Gordon (1969) and Bobbitt, Gourevitch, Miller, and Jensen (1969), relevant computer programs are described in Bobbitt, Miller, and Healey (n.d.), and those programs are available from the Computer Center at the University of Washington.…”

Infant-sibling Interactions: A Window to the Intergenerational Transmission of Caregiving Behaviors

“…To assess social learning of caregiving behavior, older siblings' responsiveness behaviors were compared to their mothers using sequential data analysis (see e.g., Bobbitt et al 1969, Fisher and Sanderson 1996, Hofmann et al 1999, Jeong 2005, Kogan and Wimberger 1966, Lii 1981, Olson et al 1994, Pan 2010, Sawin et al 1977, Sigel and Parke 1987, the behavioral coding procedure did not change and was the same as the coding procedure described above in the Method section). Sequential analyses were used to identify recurring behavioral patterns.…”

So much data, so little time: Using sequential data analysis to monitor behavioral changes

“…Sequential data analysis (see e.g., [10], [11], [12], [13], [14]) is a statistical method that allows us to examine these patterns of behavior over time. Using sequential data analysis, we can determine which behavioral sequences occur at rates that are significantly greater than chance.…”
