A Measure of the Smiling Synchrony in the Conversational Face-to-face Interaction Corpus PACO-CHEESE

Stéphane Rauzy, Mary Amoyal, Béatrice Priego-Valverde


Abstract
The smiling synchrony of the French audio-video conversational corpora “PACO” and “Cheese!” is investigated. The two corpora merged altogether last 6 hours and are made of 25 face-to-face dyadic interactions annotated following the 5 levels Smiling Intensity Scale proposed by Gironzetti et al. (2016). After introducing new indicators for characterizing synchrony phenomena, we find that almost all the 25 interactions of PACO-CHEESE show a strong and significant smiling synchrony behavior. We investigate in a second step the evolution of the synchrony parameters throughout the interaction. No effect is found and it appears rather that the smiling synchrony is present at the very start of the interaction and remains unchanged throughout the conversation.
