Interact Program, a software solution for data examination established by Mangold International, has significantly helped psychologists on their research on children personalities. It made the physiologists' behavior analysis and coding as easy as 1, 2, 3...

Interact software is an all - in - one software tool developed by Mangold International to evaluate audio, videos, live and physiology observations. It's the comprehensive solution for quantitative and qualitative data analysis.

According to its developer, Mangold International, since its development, it has turned into a number one leading software in professional recording and analysis of observational data for research institions all over the globe.

The program has helped Psychology researchers in Emotion Development Lab of Penn State by providing them a valid statistical data that can be analyzed. The data provided to them were their guide towards finding results of their research.

Kristin Buss, the directress of Emotion Development Lab of Penn State University, said that: "Thankfully, all the coding work can now be done right in the Interact program,"

Based on a report at Medical Express, psychology researchers, who studied "exuberant" children in Penn State's Emotion Development Lab, used the Interact software to analyze videos of kindergarten - age children as they played and socialized.

According to Alyssa Palmer, one of the researchers, they did something called "microcoding" with the videos and would watch 10 seconds of footage, pause and code for the behaviors they were evaluating.

"Interact Software is a big step up from the way things used to be done: with paper and pencil and a stack of coding sheets they filled out as they watched the videotapes," said Kristen Buss.

With the advantage of latest technology, Buss said that now we can put the digital recording in Interact program, set up a list of behaviors we want to score and fill everything in as we go. Whew!
