The document discusses a study that used computer algorithms to analyze conversational dynamics within the first 5 minutes of simulated employment negotiations. The study aimed to predict negotiation outcomes based on measures of activity, engagement, emphasis, and mirroring. It was found that an individual's activity level and emphasis were positively correlated with their own outcome, while emphasis was also positively correlated with the counterpart's outcome. This provides evidence that conversational dynamics analyzed through computer algorithms can predict behavioral outcomes, offering potential applications for training and evaluation. However, the study also notes limitations, such as the link between speech features and dynamics being tenuous for complex features.
