“…Where coaches conducted 60-min sessions, they delivered 10 video-taped files while others provided fewer video-recorded sessions where their engagement was to end sooner according to the coaching contract. For the purposes of automated video-analysis in coaching as a non-clinical helping intervention, it was assumed that the clients, who were not subject to inclusion or exclusion criteria based on diagnosis (e.g., psychosis, substance dependency), would have a normal capacity to synchronize nonverbally as observed in student dyads (Lozza et al, 2018 ; Fujiwara et al, 2019 ; Dunbar et al, 2020 ).…”

Background: Psychological literature emphasizes that self-regulation is important as goal intentions, goal setting, or implementation intention does not automatically result in effective results in coaching. The question which coaching strategies to apply to strengthening clients' self-regulatory capacities as prerequisites of effective change outcomes remains a black box in coaching.Method: This quantitative study explored clients' self-regulatory mechanisms by addressing how nonverbal synchrony influences clients' cognitive and emotional self-regulation across sessions. One hundred eighty-four coach–client pairs and their evolving change process were observed over 8 months. Video-recorded sessions were assessed with motion energy analysis to automatically capture coach and client nonverbal behavior and quantify nonverbal synchrony at the level of the dyad.Results: Synchrony was differentially associated with clients' post-session questionnaires on result-oriented problem-reflection and self-reflection, affect balance, and working alliance. Network analyses suggested that the association between synchrony and other process variables did not correspond to the previously found positive association between synchrony and positive aspects of alliance or outcome. Instead, this association depended on the level of perceived outcome.Discussion: Coaching success may be predicted by process variables assessed after each session: goal reflection, alliance, and mood all predict successful coaching. The assessment of nonverbal synchrony suggests a state-dependent effect of embodied processes on a coaching outcome that warrants further inspection.

“…3. The original study (Dunbar et al, 2020) included another condition of deceptiveness (truth or deception) assigned to one of the partners. However, this study's focus is not on deception; thus, we only used data from the truth condition in the original study.…”

“…In a previous study from the same data set, Dunbar et al (2020) asked unacquainted individuals to discuss what they liked about their university. One dyad member was randomly assigned to a highinvolvement, low-involvement, or control condition.…”

“…The sample was 68% female and 32% male, and the gender composition depended on experiments; 32 dyads were formed as same-gender dyads (26 females, 6 males), and 23 dyads consisted of mixed-gender dyads. The demographics are representative of the university's communication major (see also Dunbar et al, 2020).…”

“…Raw videos from the experiment were rendered into split-screen presentations showing both P1 and P2. Synchrony composed of 11 categories was manually coded via C-BAS by trained coders (n = 5): laughing along with the partner, gestural mirroring, postural mirroring, eye synchrony (e.g., both participants rolling their eyes, looking up, or looking down), head nods/shakes, verbal repetition, vocal synchrony (i.e., a matching of the vocal features), lower facial mimicry (e.g., synchrony in smiling or frowning), upper facial mimicry (e.g., eyebrow synchrony), synchrony of temporal behaviors, and other instances of synchrony (see also Dunbar et al, 2020). Coders assessed these types of local synchrony indicating the occurrence of matching for micro-units of behavior (Dunbar et al, 2014).…”
