It is well documented in social psychology that depending on the objectives a group, the dynamics are different. For example, a competitive meeting has a different objective from that of a collaborative meeting. We propose a method to characterize group dynamics based on the joint description of a group members{\textquoteright} aggregated acoustical nonverbal behaviour to classify two meeting datasets (one being cooperative-type and the other being competitive-type). We use 4.5 hours of real behavioural multi-party data and show that our methodology can achieve a classification rate of upto 100\%.", optnote="OR;MV", optnote="exported from refbase (http://refbase.cvc.uab.es/show.php?record=1217), last updated on Tue, 17 Dec 2013 13:04:50 +0100", isbn="978-1-4244-4290-4", issn="1945-7871", doi="10.1109/ICME.2009.5202511" }
