Abstract

Involvement in an online setting has become increasingly more important in a rapidly digitizing world. Previous research has suggested that lexical alignment is an effective method for increasing interpersonal involvement. Multi-modal systems exist for analysing involvement, but the lexical alignment modality is not commonly used in these. This study examines the lexical alignment modality as a predictive measure of involvement in online group meetings. By analyzing participation indicators in virtual meetings, the aim is to identify moments of high involvement. Results indicate that lexical alignment does not correlate with moments of high involvement. The findings contribute to the scientific understanding of leveraging the verbal modality for analyzing and organizing online meetings.
