“…Inter-rater reliability was 0.50 for function and 0.59 for content, whereas intra-rater reliability was 0.86 for content and 0.80 for function (Dent et al, 2005). In this study, based on the 10% of transcripts checked, our coders obtained a high intra-rater reliability of 0.95 for the content category and an inter-rater reliability of 0.92.…”

“…The aims of this study were to examine the structure of cancer consultations in a larger sample of medical oncologists and to provide a comparison with the consultations of radiation oncologists using the Cancode interaction analysis system (Dent et al, 2005). Although the examination between medical and radiation oncologists is exploratory, across groups we anticipate that (1) medical and radiation oncologists will vary their consultation style and duration of talk in accord with the demographic and disease characteristics of the patient, as well as with their levels of anxiety and information preferences; and (2) patient satisfaction, information recall, and psychological adjustment will be higher when the consultation is characterised by a patient-centred approach.…”

“…The consultation is divided into units of speech, which change when a person stops speaking or changes speech content, and each unit is classified along four dimensions (source, content, function, and emotion) (see Dent et al, 2005 for description of units within each dimension). The coder enters the codes by keyboard into a specifically designed software package while listening to the audiotape in real time.…”

This study provides an analysis of the structure of the initial cancer consultation, the consultation styles of medical and radiation oncologists, and their effect on patient outcomes. One hundred and fifty-five cancer patients attending their first consultation with either a medical or radiation oncologist were audiotaped and the transcripts were analysed using the Cancode computer interaction analysis system. Findings revealed that medical oncologists allowed patients and their families more input into the consultation and were rated as warmer and more patient-centred compared with radiation oncologists. However, radiation oncologists spent a longer period discussing, and were more likely to bring up, social support issues with patients. Both medical and radiation oncologists varied their consultation style according to the patient's gender, age, anxiety levels, prognosis, and education. Patients seeing an oncologist who was rated as warmer and discussed a greater number of psychosocial issues had better psychological adjustment and reduced anxiety after consultation. These findings provide current evidence that may be used to inform improvements of communication skills training for oncologists and highlight the need for future communication research to separately consider oncologists from different disciplines. The most widely recommended model of medical interactions in clinical practise is patient-centred care. A patient-centred approach is one in which the doctor listens to patients attentively and sympathetically, talks about psychosocial and non-medical issues (Arora, 2003), appears warm and caring towards the patient rather than hurried, and allows the patient to have input into the consultation (Butow et al, 1995). Researchers have identified the importance of doctors varying their consultation style in response to differing patient characteristics (Butow et al, 1995). For example, researchers suggest that doctors should match their style to patient preferences for involvement in decision-making (Keisler and Auerbach, 2006), and recommend responding flexibly to patients' emotional and informational cues (Butow et al, 2002). Others have found that male and female patients may benefit from different communication strategies (Butow et al, 1997;Parker et al, 2001).Many studies have shown an association between patients receiving patient-centred care in their consultation and subsequent positive patient outcomes (Fogarty et al, 1999). However, previous studies have suggested that patient-centred care and flexibility in consultation style are used inconsistently in medical consultations. Oncologists have been shown to be poor judges of patient preferences for participation, significantly underestimating cancer patients' preference for a shared approach to decision-making (Bruera et al, 2002) and desire for information. They also tend to overestimate the amount of information they believe they have given (Chaitchik et al, 1992) and cancer patients' understanding of this information (Gattellari et al, 1999). O...

“…However, several factors must be taken into consideration to make a well grounded decision for either video data or audio data (see also Dent, Brown, Dowsett, Tattersall, & Butow, 2005;Nicolai, Demmel, & Farsch, 2010). The biggest downfall of using audio data compared to video data is the loss of information embedded in the data.…”

Meetings offer an exciting gateway to dynamic social processes in organizations. During their meeting interactions, employees exchange information, build common ground, create new ideas, manage relationships, and make or break team climate. In this chapter, we highlight the potentials and possibilities for research on dynamic social processes during team meetings.Through the lens of a meetings researcher, we discuss how research questions and methodological issues in studying meeting interaction processes can be addressed. By focusing on the observable behavioral conduct of meeting participants (i.e., their verbal communication), we show how micro-level interaction processes, emergent patterns, and the dynamics of social influence throughout a meeting can be revealed. Our chapter includes a how-to guideline for researchers and practitioners interested in carrying out interaction analysis in team meetings. We illustrate our reasoning by providing data from a sample of 24 videotaped team meetings. Finally, we discuss limitations of behavioral research in team meetings. The chapter closes with an outlook and future research questions in the area of dynamic social processes in organizational meetings.
