The Interaction Process Analysis

The Interaction Process Analysis (IPA) is a method used to observe and categorize how people communicate and collaborate in a group. It breaks down conversations into specific types of behavior, such as giving information, asking questions, or showing support. This helps identify how effectively a group works together, highlighting dominant, passive, or supportive roles. By analyzing these patterns, facilitators can improve teamwork, communication, and overall group dynamics, making it a useful tool in both research and practical settings to foster better group interaction.
