“…Carrère and Gottman (1999) found that thin slice ratings of 3-min video clips of couples having a discussion from 6 years earlier could predict divorce rates. Similarly, in a study by Lambert et al (2014) raters could accurately identify which partner in a couple cheated on the other by watching 3-to 5-min clips of the couple's interactions. Jung (2016) also provides evidence that a team's work performance could be predicted by thin slice ratings of the quality of interactions between different team members based on 15 min of observation.…”

In recent decades, the assessment of instructional quality has grown into a popular and well-funded arm of educational research. The present study contributes to this field by exploring first impressions of untrained raters as an innovative approach of assessment. We apply the thin slice procedure to obtain ratings of instructional quality along the dimensions of cognitive activation, classroom management, and constructive support based on only 30 s of classroom observations. Ratings were compared to the longitudinal data of students taught in the videos to investigate the connections between the brief glimpses into instructional quality and student learning. In addition, we included samples of raters with different backgrounds (university students, middle school students and educational research experts) to understand the differences in thin slice ratings with respect to their predictive power regarding student learning. Results suggest that each group provides reliable ratings, as measured by a high degree of agreement between raters, as well predictive ratings with respect to students' learning. Furthermore, we find experts' and middle school students' ratings of classroom management and constructive support, respectively, explain unique components of variance in student test scores. This incremental validity can be explained with the amount of implicit knowledge (experts) and an attunement to assess specific cues that is attributable to an emotional involvement (students).

“…Across four unique cultures (Azore Islands, Guinea-Bissau, Indonesia, and the U.S.), more attractive women (based on waist-to-hip ratio) were viewed as less faithful (Singh, 2004). Participants were able to correctly identify people who engaged in infidelity from a short video of a couple interacting, and trustworthiness and commitment mediated this relationship (Lambert et al, 2014).…”

Infidelity is a common experience within romantic relationships and is closely linked with relationship dissolution and well-being. Using an intersectionality theoretical framework, we undertook a systematic review of the infidelity literature in flagship journals associated with the disciplines of the International Association for Relationship Research. Our review includes findings from 162 published empirical articles. We identified several themes within the infidelity literature, including: individual, interpersonal, and contextual predictors; outcomes and reactions; beliefs and attitudes; prevalence; and conceptualization. We also found that the infidelity literature primarily utilizes participants who are White, heterosexual, cisgender individuals who reside in the United States or Canada. Moreover, researchers were limited in information they provided about participants’ identities so in most articles it was difficult to assess many dimensions of identity. Ultimately, these findings limit our ability to apply an intersectional framework. We argue that researchers should extend the research they cite, collect richer demographic data, expand their samples (especially beyond White heterosexual cisgender American college students), and consider the sociohistorical context of their participants (e.g., the particular social circumstances and historical forces which shape individuals’ lived experiences). For example, scholars using an intersectional framework would explain their participants’ relationship experiences through a lens which includes systems of sexism, racism, heterosexism, cissexism, classism, etc., in conjunction with individual and interpersonal factors.

“…These results may not generalize to children with lower ability levels, though we do not know of any thin slice study that has tested the impact of cognitive ability. Many thin slice studies rely on trained observers to judge the video clips (Lambert et al 2014) or untrained participants who are undergraduates (e.g. Oltmanns et al 2004) so variations in cognitive ability and the impact it has on thin slice judgments have not been examined.…”

Typically developing children are able to judge who is winning or losing from very short clips of video footage of behaviour between active match play across a number of sports. Inferences from "thin slices" (short video clips) allow participants to make complex judgments about the meaning of posture, gesture and body language. This study extends the use of the thin slice research paradigm to children with high-functioning autism spectrum disorder (ASD). We tested 38 children with ASD, in two age groups: 15 participants aged 5-8 years and 23 participants aged 9-13 years. We found that the children with ASD had a rate of accuracy similar to that of typically developing peers tested in a previous study.
