Coding interactions in Motivational Interviewing with computer-software: What are the advantages for process researchers?

作者：

Highlights：

• We present advantages of software support in coding Motivational Interviewing.

• The software instrument showed excellent to good interrater reliability.

• The software and paper instrument obtained similar results on convergent validity.

• Behavior slicing indicated that it is not necessary to code the entire interaction.

• We provide three coded demo interactions in two languages for the software version.
