„Working with the Mangold team has revolutionized the way we run studies and analyze data ...
We've always been interested in the inter-relations between physiological systems, behavior and emotion in dyadic contexts. However, in the past we were largely estimating these relations over long periods of time.
Using the INTERACT software system has allowed us to efficiently characterize the precise time course of behaviors and emotions, their inter-relations within an individual child and between children during dyadic interactions. We continually receive personalized customer support and know that the Mangold team will help us generate solutions to complex problems.“

Start collecting and analyzing data right away. INTERACT is optimized for ease of use, yet packed with functionality. All major functions are within 2 to 3 mouse clicks.
With INTERACT's revolutionary video technology you can use almost any standard video format. You can even use video captured with your smartphone in INTERACT.
Use individual coding systems of almost unlimited size and hierarchical complexity in INTERACT.
In INTERACT you can use and combine all common observation methods:
INTERACT can be used in a variety of ways, not only to collect codes, but also to collect transcripts. The collected data can be exported to a speech analysis system or visualized within INTERACT as word cloud diagrams.
See at a glance which behavioural codes occur at which times with the INTERACT Time-Line Chart.
The State-Space-Grid (Lewis, Lamey & Douglas, 1999) creates a graphical landscape of dyadic interactions that is important for measuring and understanding synchrony and flexibility in dynamic systems in activities or interpersonal relationships.
Originally used for research on socio-emotional outcomes (acting, feeling, and thinking), the state-space grid in Mangold INTERACT software also has great value for analyzing any type of process, e.g., in teaching research (understanding teacher-student interactions or state changes in whole classrooms), ergonomics or usability research (understanding processes and workflows and measuring their efficiency), or similar applications.
The Mangold INTERACT State-Space-Grid implementation allows to render the collected codes in a time-dynamic diagram. This is very helpful to understand state changes and thus whole processes.
Visualize and analyze your data in INTERACT with the State-Space-Grid. Interactively see the temporal context of your collected data.
Use the box plot functionality to further analyze your coded data and prepare it for publications with just a few clicks.
Easily visualize the numerical data of a lag sequence analysis of selected Classes and Codes with INTERACT.
Use the extensive data restructuring functions and analysis options in INTERACT and gain new insights from originally simple observation data.
The possibilities of INTERACT are limitless, because the entire software is designed to be open in every aspect: Use your own coding systems, import and export all your collected data anytime you want.
If something is missing, there is a good chance that you can write your own analysis module for it, based on the large amount of INTERACT functionalities.

A Best Practice Guide to Video-Supported Behavior Observation
Abstract: Observation appears to be a simple skill. It is assumed to be something everyone does every day since early childhood, and thus, it seems to be an easy and well-trained skill. However, observation of behavior with a scientific outcome is far from easy.
The significant difference between everyday observation and scientific observation and the enormous chances specific software tools can create in this field will be discussed in this document.
