Examining Nonverbal Communication in Dyadic Interactions With Virtual Humans Using an Integrated Coding System: Mixed Methods Analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The patient-physician dyad involves both verbal and nonverbal communication. Traditional methods use quantitative or qualitative coding when analyzing dyadic data of nonverbal communication. Quantitative coding methods can capture the frequency of nonverbal communication, while qualitative coding methods can provide descriptive information on the context and nuance of the nonverbal communication expressed. Yet, limited research has examined the integration of quantitative and qualitative coding methods of nonverbal communication between a patient-physician dyad through video recordings.

Objective

The objective of this formative study was to demonstrate how nonverbal communication data can be analyzed using a mixed methods analysis approach and propose an integrate
