Study Together
The extent to which collaborators mirror each other's posture and body language (e.g., leaning forward or nodding) is often regarded as an indicator of group cohesion and mutual engagement, especially in peer-led learning. A social psychologist wants to conduct a study using the naturalistic observation method to investigate this by studying the non-verbal behaviour of student study groups working in a university library commons. Behaviour was observed every 15 minutes during a study session from 1 pm to 3 pm.
