Non-Invasive Measurement of Trust in Group Interactions

Abstract

Trust between group members has many implications for how well a group performs. In this study, we predict perceived trustworthiness of group members when there are subversive group members. We collected multimodal verbal and non-verbal data from a group interaction experiment. During the interaction, we periodically surveyed the group members about their perceptions of trustworthiness of other group members. We used this data to model the relationship between observable behavior and perceptions of trustworthiness. This research advances the study of behavioral measurement in groups and the role of behavior on perceived trustworthiness.
