Coding Procedure for Affiliative Statements

Step # Procedure
1
  • Rater 1 coded the video first.

  • Affiliative statements were coded at the time at which they were heard in the video.

  • The gender of the speaker and recipient of affiliative statements was also coded for GDC videos.

    • When an affiliative statement was directed at two or more recipients, only the gender of the speaker was coded.

  • Additionally, Rater 1 coded 10 non-affiliative statements that did not meet criteria for an affiliative statement at random times throughout the video.

    • Non-affiliative statements were coded to demonstrate that the raters could discriminate between affiliative and non-affiliative statements.

2
  • Rater 1 printed a timesheet that indicated the times when she coded a statement.

    • No other information was included on the timesheet.

3
  • Rater 2 then coded the same video using the timesheet provided by Rater 1.

  • Rater 2 listened to the entire video and coded statements based on the times at which Rater 1 had coded statements.

  • Rater 2 also coded any additional affiliative statements missed by Rater 1, but did not add any non-affiliative statements.

4
  • If Rater 2 identified any additional affiliative statements, Rater 1 revisited the video and listened to the statements made during the times when Rater 2 coded the extra statements.

  • Rater 1 coded these statements if she agreed that the statements met criteria for an affiliative statement.

5
  • The raters discussed any disagreements in coding until they reached 100% agreement on appropriate coding of statements.
