摘要: Recently there has been a change in focus from the study of one organism over time to social interaction between organisms. This brought with it renewed interest what is generally referred as sequential analysis (Altman 1965; Blurton-Jones, 1972; Gottman 1980a, 1980b; & Ringland, 1981; Wilson, 1975). In investigating influences among interacting organisms, influence that on other members system typically recorded sequence events which each data entry corresponds behavioral state emitted by or more The data, therefore, are categorical form and frequently simple observed frequencies used descriptors various populations, for example, distressed nondistressed marital partners (Gottman, 1979; Margolin Wampold, 1981).
