“…Reliability estimates for the AVTA ranged from 0.91 to 0.99 whereas those for the operator measurements ranged from 0.59 to 0.98. These reliability estimates are consistent with those observed in a number of studies using the AVTA and related methods that allow for sequential analysis of coded speech (e.g., Warner, 1992aWarner, , 1992b, suggesting that the AVTA produces highly reliable data from which frequency and duration of temporal parameters can be obtained.…”

“…Further, while results might differ as a function of the duration of dialogue blocks used for analysis (e.g., in the present study we used 12 five-second blocks per minute for a total of 240 blocks in a 20 minute conversation, while others have used 10-s blocks), different sampling frequencies ranging from 0.250 to 10 s have yielded highly correlated measures of vocal state duration. In other words, as Warner (1992aWarner ( , 1992b convincingly showed, vocal activity from the same conversations sampled at both three times per second and once every 10 s were so highly correlated "as to be virtually indistinguishable (p. 58).…”

“…Developed by Jaffe and Feldstein and colleagues (e.g., Cassotta, Feldstein, & Jaffe, 1964a, 1964bJaffe & Feldstein, 1970;Jaffe et al, 2001;Feldstein, BenDebba, & Alberti, 1974;Feldstein & Welkowitz, 1987), the AVTA has been used extensively. It offers a high degree of precision in the analysis of parent-child interaction as it unfolds over time, and has shown to be highly reliable in quantifying sound and silence patterns in the speech stream across numerous published studies of adult-adult, parent-child, and child-child conversations (e.g., Beebe, Jaffe, Feldstein, Mays, & Alson, 1985;Cassotta et al, 1964aCassotta et al, , 1964bWarner, 1992aWarner, , 1992bWelkowitz & Feldstein, 1969, 1970.…”

“…That being said, it is important to reiterate that the AVTA was developed to create an admittedly over-simplified version of speech in dialogue for the specific purpose of looking at the phenomenon of synchrony or attunement in conversation and nothing more. The numerous studies that have used the AVTA and so-called "spin-off" systems (e.g., Warner, 1992aWarner, , 1992b have shown that this method yields robust, replicated findings for reciprocal influence in on-off patterns of vocalization and silence across ages, dyads, and populations (normal and special needs). As discussed previously, the reliability of the AVTA system for measuring vocal state durations has been assessed a number of times in different ways (see Method).…”

“…Although these studies have addressed degrees of interactive contingency, none have used self-contingency (autocorrelation) as a variable in its own right; instead, it has been statistically controlled and removed (see Gottman, 1981). In research on adult conversation, Warner (1992) was unusual in the integrating of "within-actor" and "between-partner" contingencies.…”

Associations of 6-week maternal depressive symptoms [Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale (CES-D)] with 4-month mother-infant self-and interactive contingency patterns during face-to-face play were investigated in 132 dyads. Self-and interactive contingency (auto-and lagged cross-correlation, respectively) were assessed by multilevel time-series analysis. Infant and mother gaze, facial and vocal affect, touch, and spatial orientation behaviors were coded second-by-second from splitscreen videotape, and a multimodal measure of facial-visual "engagement" was constructed, generating nine modality pairings. With higher CES-D, the self-contingency of both partners was lowered in most modalities. With higher CES-D, interactive contingency values were both heightened (in some modalities) and lowered (in others), varying by partner. These results are consistent with an optimal midrange model. With higher CES-D, interactive contingency showed the following patterns: (a) Mothers and their infants had a reciprocal orientational sensitivity; (b) mothers and infants manifested a reciprocal intermodal discordance in attention versus affect coordination, lowering gaze coordination, but heightening affective coordination; (c) infants heightened, but mothers lowered, touch coordination with partner touch-an "infant approach-mother withdraw" touch pattern. Nonlinear analyses indicated that altered self-and interactive contingency were similar at both the low ("denial") as well as the high ("endorsement") poles of depressive symptoms, in half the findings. These complex, multimodal findings define different aspects of communication disturbance, with relevance for therapeutic intervention. RESUMEN: En un grupo de 132 díadas se investigaron las asociaciones entre los síntomas de depresión maternal a las 6 semanas (CES-D) y patrones de 4 meses de contingencia propia e interactiva entre la madre y el infante durante el juego cara a cara. Las contingencias propia e interactiva (propia y demorada correlación mutua, respectivamente) fueron evaluadas por medio de un análisis a varios niveles y en una serie de momentos temporales. La mirada del infante y la madre, el afecto facial y vocal, el acto de tocarse, y las conductas de orientación espacial fueron codificadas sección por sección, a partir de una videograbación con pantalla dividida, y una medida multimodal de contacto facial y visual fue construída, todo lo cual generó 9 pareamientos de modalidades. En los casos de más altos niveles de CES-D, la autocontingencia de cada una de las partes bajó en la mayoría de las modalidades. En los casos de más altos niveles de CES-D, los valores de contingencia interactiva subieron en ambas personas (en algunas modalidades) y bajaron (en otras), según cada individuo, consistente con un modelo intermedioóptimo. En los casos de niveles más altos de CES-D, la contingencia interactiva mostró los siguientes patrones: (1) las madres y sus infantes tenían una sensibilidad de orientación recíproca; (2) las madres y los infantes m...

This study investigated the dynamics of communication between members of an emergency management team faced with controlling a hazardous chemical spill. The effects of two sets of factors on communication were investigated; task-specific factors pertaining to characteristics of the emergency management task that are constant across different emergency situations, and situationspecific factors pertaining to the unique characteristics of the current situation. The results showed that both these factors were important in determining the pattern of communication between key team members. Verbal exchanges were found both to be correlated with the occurrence of critical events and to follow a 30-minute temporal cycle. The implications of the results for theories of naturalistic decision making are discussed.In emergency management, individuals must work together to contain and resolve a hazardous event. With each team member performing a specialized function, the effectiveness of the team depends upon the ability of its members to communicate with each other to coordinate activities, to share information, and to implement appropriate strategies (Caldwell, 1997). Decision making is thus said to be distributed across the members of the team (Brehmer, 1991; Rogalski and Samuray, 1993). But without a high level of interaction, distributed decision making will fail. For this reason, a critical factor affecting team function concerns the nature and timing of verbal exchanges between team members.The present study represents a relatively new approach to naturalistic decision making. Previous research has often been concerned with analyses of the cognitive aspects of decision making, based on the view that the most important determinants of behaviour are the cognitive representations of team members. Our study was based on a different view, namely that many important determinants of behaviour reflect characteristics of the task environment, the problems it poses, and the constraints it provides. On this view, theoretically important relationships exist between features of the task environment and human performance. To illustrate, Vortac et al. (1993) examined the behaviour of air traffic controllers in a simulation involving different degrees of traffic complexity. The onsets of various activities (e.g. issuing commands to aircraft) were recorded on-line, and the transition probabilities between different activities were analysed statistically. This analysis revealed a number of dynamical regularities that Vortac et al. (1994) explained
