TL;DR: In this paper, a round robin design was proposed for the analysis of social interaction data, with an empirical demonstration using vocal activity data. But the model was not designed specifically for non-social interactions.
Abstract: Experimental social psychology has dealt primarily with situations that are not true social interactions; in a typical study, a subject responds to a fixed, artificial social stimulus such as a photograph, written description, or performance by a confederate. Although these artificial social stimuli provide experimental control over independent variables and can be analyzed using the types of statistical models originally developed for nonsocial experimental research, they provide little or no information about the interactive aspects of social behavior—the reciprocity or mutual contingency of the behavior of interaction partners. This paper describes a nonexperimenta l design specifically tailored to social interaction data that provides more information about individual differences and social influence in social interactions: a round robin design in which each person interacts with every other person. After a brief review of available models, a new and more general model for the analysis of social interaction data is presented, with an empirical demonstration using vocal activity data.

TL;DR: Pilkonis and Zimbardo as mentioned in this paper provided a rich array of new information on the emotion of shyness and their empirical data improve our conceptualization of the shyness, and our understanding of its antecedents and its consequences for the individual and his or her social surround.

TL;DR: The coalition game focuses on techniques for identifying coalitions or subgroups within larger social systems and the binding force in the game is the participant's perceptions of attractive others.
Abstract: The coalition game focuses on techniques for identifying coalitions or subgroups within larger social systems. The binding force in the game is the participant's perceptions of attractive others. The game generates a wealth of data that not only serve to dramatize social dynamics, but can also be used to identify the structure of coalitions and the degree to which particular individuals exert interpersonal influence.
