Behavior in the process of communication diagnostics I. Visual interaction under observation of training observers

Explored the possibility of training and observer to determine gaze direction toward specific points and areas of fixation. In the experiments, 20 Ss worked with videotapes that showed two situations similar to a real dyadic interaction. Certain patterns were found by means of a bifactorial analysis of variance for quality parameters. It was shown that accuracy of evaluations can be increased due to training. The importance of training was demonstrated in situations similar to real ones.
