“…First, turns based upon interruption correlate strongly and positively with status (Brooke & Ng, 1986;Ng, Bell, & Brooke, 1993;Ng, Brooke, & Dunne, 1995)-interruption turns are a valid indicator of participation and status. Second, research demonstrates that interruptions can be encoded in proactive or reactive speech acts (Makri-Tsilipakou, 1994;Murata, 1994;Murray, 1987;Ng et al, 1995)-proactive content is a task-relevant contribution in the expectation states formulation.…”

Status hierarchies typically emerge when groups of strangers interact. Relatively little work tests explanations for this process in homogenous groups, and the majority has been conducted in intragroup settings. We test an expectation-states explanation in an intergroup context using the multilevel application of the actor-partner interdependence model. Participants (N = 48) discussed capital punishment in gender-homogenous 6-person groups containing 3 pro-and 3 anti-capital punishment adherents. The more speakers directed turns and proactive behavior at the outgroup than the ingroup, the higher they emerged in status. Further, high-but not low-status group members obtained more successful interruptions by being proactive, but more unsuccessful interruptions by being reactive. Socioemotional standing in the group was an inverted-U function of participation. Those higher on socioemotional standing also directed relatively less reactive behavior at the outgroup than the ingroup. The findings suggest that intragroup differentiation is subtly yet powerfully affected by status expectations and the intergroup context. Instructions for running these models in SAS and SPSS are appended.

“…Although many factors may shape these interactions, an officer's words are undoubtedly critical: Through them, the officer can communicate respect and understanding of a citizen's perspective, or contempt and disregard for their voice. Furthermore, the language of those in positions of institutional power (police officers, judges, work superiors) has greater influence over the course of the interaction than the language used by those with less power (12)(13)(14)(15)(16). Measuring officer language thus provides a quantitative lens on one key aspect of the quality or tone of police-community interactions, and offers new opportunities for advancing police training.…”

Using footage from body-worn cameras, we analyze the respectfulness of police officer language toward white and black community members during routine traffic stops. We develop computational linguistic methods that extract levels of respect automatically from transcripts, informed by a thin-slicing study of participant ratings of officer utterances. We find that officers speak with consistently less respect toward black versus white community members, even after controlling for the race of the officer, the severity of the infraction, the location of the stop, and the outcome of the stop. Such disparities in common, everyday interactions between police and the communities they serve have important implications for procedural justice and the building of police-community trust.racial disparities | natural language processing | procedural justice | traffic stops | policing

“…More importantly, prior research has shown that question asking and leadership emergence are related. In a study on team meeting behaviour, perceived informal leadership was related to asking for clarifications (Weaver, Pifer, & Colbeck, 2009; see also Guastello & Guastello, 1998;Ng, Bell, & Brooke, 1993; for similar findings).…”

We supplement broad definitions of leadership behaviour with the concept of micro-level leadership behaviour, leaders' verbal and non-verbal visible conduct and interaction. For the context of team decision-making, we identify two potentially beneficial micro-level leadership behaviours, question asking and behavioural mimicry. Specifically, we propose that under conditions of informational complexity and unshared information, participative leadership is most appropriate for team decision-making, that its effects are mediated by inquiring and empathy, and that question asking and mimicry are the behavioural micro-level manifestations of inquiring and empathy. We thus hypothesize that the effect of participative leadership on team decision quality and leader evaluation is mediated by question asking and mimicry. We conduct a laboratory experiment with student teams working on a hidden profile decision-making task and measure question asking through behavioural coding and mimicry with motion sensors. Results show that the effect of participative leadership on decision quality is mediated by question asking, and that the effect of participative leadership on leader evaluation as transformational is mediated by leaders' behavioural mimicry and question asking. Under control of these micro-level behaviours, team decision quality and leader evaluations were unrelated.
