Originally published in 1977. This book focuses on how to do research in the area of face-to-face interaction when studying human social conduct. It covers the methods of data collection and analysis and looks at the efficiency of these. It secondarily considers a model for conceptualising such interactions, drawing together several social science components, especially linguistics, based on the idea that there is an organisational structure at work just as with grammar for language. Overall the book proposes a general conceptual framework for guiding empirical investigation, with emphasis on simultaneous study of a number of acts viewed within each other's contexts. This is an excellent resource for study on non-verbal communications, describing specific studies as well as offering the clear overview and model for research.

For nineteen years, Starkey Duncan, Donald Fiske, and their collaborators have explored and sought to integrate the linguistic and nonverbal elements of face-to-face interaction which they view as a structured or rule-governed process. They are concerned both with the structure of interactions, described in terms of rules, signals, and other elements (analogous to grammar), and with its strategy, or interactional styles exhibited by participants within the structure. The relation between structure and strategy is similar to the relation between rules and the strategies participants adopt in games. The authors' 'structure' studies carry forward the work reported in their Face to Face Interaction: Research Methods and Tbeory (1977), while their 'strategy' studies break new ground. Their review of the current state of interaction research, its conceptual foundations and methods provides a useful framework for analysis in this new field.

Book is a text written by personnel of the Schools and Training Branch, Office of Strategic Services (OSS) at the end of World War II. Months of statistical calculation on the part of more than a dozen psychologists and psychiatrists went into the foundation of this book. The techniques developed are especially relevant for those engaged in assessing candidates, whether for identifying disqualifying defects of function or for determining unusual talents or abilities. This book provides a candid exploration of the first attempt in America to design and carry out selection procedures in conformity with Gestalt principles. The text particularly will invite the attention of those concerned with predicting human behavior and improving methods of diagnosis, assessment and selection.
