What needs to be clarified
Describe adult interaction in an agreed research setting across episodes and assess support for a limited communication conclusion.
Materials to prepare
- Complete agreed task video without edited omissions
- Instructions, stages and facilitator-intervention record
- Observation protocol defining initiative, interruptions and agreement
What to compare
Code proposals, interruptions, clarification and agreement consistently. Account for roles and speaking time and compare stages. Repeat coding to check consistency, retain ambiguous cases and examine instruction effects without turning one behaviour frequency into a personality judgement.
Possible outcome of the analysis
A descriptive report may provide timestamps, observed examples and coding consistency, limiting interpretation to the task and recording.
Limits of the conclusions
This is no diagnosis, treatment or capacity assessment. One task establishes neither fixed character, truthfulness nor relationships outside the observed situation.
