Travail de recherche/Working paper
| Résumé : | Many interaction coding systems have been developed in the last 70 years to highlight individual behaviours and get a better understanding of small group dynamics. Despite the juxtaposition of an increasing number of interaction coding systems responding to different aims and demands, literature on this subject does not provide a complete overview of all available coding systems. This article, therefore, offers a comprehensive literature review of the interaction coding systems dedicated to small groups and details their structure, purposes and specifications. Such an analysis may help shed light on the most appropriate existing coding system according to the requirements of a research study in group dynamics. It also points out a number of major limitations of such models. Implications for necessary prerequisites for the development of future coding systems are consequently included. |
