Chameleons in Imagined Conversations: A New Approach to Understanding Coordination of Linguistic Style in Dialogs (2011, background): “Coordination of function-word class has been previously documented in several settings (Niederhoffer and Pennebaker, 2002; Taylor and Thomas, 2008; Ireland et al., 2011; Gonzales et al., 2010), the largest-scale study being on Twitter (DanescuNiculescu-Mizil et al.”
Language Style Matching Predicts Relationship Initiation and Stability (2011, background): “Indeed, in previous studies, LSM has positively predicted such necessarily mutual outcomes as group cohesiveness and peaceful resolution of hostage negotiations (Gonzales et al., 2010; Taylor & Thomas, 2008).”
It's (Not) Simply a Matter of Time: The Relationship Between CMC Cues and Interpersonal Affinity (2016, background): “Studies have shown that these adaptations, in the aggregate, are correlated with outcomes such as increased group cohesiveness and trust [14,42].”
The Effect of Different Writing Tasks on Linguistic Style: A Case Study of the ROC Story Cloze Task (2017, background): “Second, temporary changes, such as a romantic relationship (Ireland et al., 2011; Bowen et al., 2016), work collaboration (Tausczik, 2009; Gonzales et al., 2009), or negotiation (Ireland and Henderson, 2014) may also affect writing style.”
Computational Sociolinguistics: A Survey (2016, background): “While CAT has been studied extensively in controlled settings, e.g., Gonzales, Hancock, and Pennebaker (2010), only recently studies have been performed in uncontrolled settings such as Twitter conversations (Danescu-NiculescuMizil, Gamon, and Dumais 2011), online forums (Jones et al. 2014),…”
Convergence of speech rate in conversation predicts cooperation (2013, methodology): “In contrast, the experimental situation of a task group (Gonzales et al., 2010), and the real-life situations of a speed-date (Ireland et al.”
Approximating Interactive Human Evaluation with Self-Play for Open-Domain Dialog Systems (2019, methodology): “Specifically, inspired by the effectiveness of sense of humor in creating solidarity [10], style matching for forming relationship stability and social cohesiveness [11, 12], and the importance of active listening through forming follow up questions [13], we propose metrics to capture sentiment, sem”
