A methodological spotlight on the lag sequential analysis: The value of interpersonal conversations to engage individuals in agricultural transition processes
Envisioning that communication and language are omnipresent in every aspect of our lives, from conversations with family and friends to professional settings and even political dimensions, they shape our understanding of the world. Simultaneously, they provide the platform to shape, explore, and discuss abstract transition pathways.
Join us for this seminar where Madita will demonstrate the value of investigating interpersonal micro-behaviours (e.g. statements made in one-on-one conversations) by means of one specific method: the lag sequential analysis. Outlining the method, Madita will present one study that tests a specific empathic-collaborative communication style called 'Motivational Interviewing,' aimed at engaging individuals from the public in an agricultural transition pathway. Additionally, providing a brief overview of the domains in which the method might be fruitful.
