Behavioral Feedback inVirtual Meetings
Virtual meetings constitute an increasingly large portion of many workers’ time but are often perceived as inefficient and exhausting. The research project aims to address this challenge by developing a feedback intervention to improve virtual meeting effectiveness. The intervention will be based on real-time behavioral coding in meetings in order to provide immediate feedback to the participants on their meeting interactions. Additionally, the project will explore the potential for automating behavioral coding in meetings.
