Schlesinger Associates has added Affdex Discovery™, a facial coding tool, to its
portfolio of qualitative services. Schlesinger collaborated with Affectiva, the owner of Affdex Discovery™, to help adapt their already successful quantitative facial coding tool for moderator use in focus groups and in-depth Interviews to prompt more in-depth discussion.
This qualitative method, new to the market and based on proven award-winning software, scientifically and unobtrusively measures non-verbal emotional engagement responses to video stimuli, revealed through facial expression.
During a qualitative session, key emotion traces are captured in real-time, via webcam, and reported back to a moderator console. Post-session analysis is also available via interactive dashboards.
Commenting on the news, Anne Hedde, Executive Vice President, Schlesinger Interactive said, “We sought a partner to develop a solution for our insight clients and moderators which could quickly and effectively gauge respondent emotions in a non-invasive and cost-effective way. Affectiva’s proven success and experience in quantitative facial coding, along with our application knowledge in qualitative settings, has created powerful combination for enhancing the value of research during focus groups and IDIs.”
Nick Langeveld, CEO, Affectiva added, ”We are delighted to bring our cutting edge solution for scalable, unfiltered emotional insight to qualitative researchers to allow them take their methods beyond self-report to help their clients optimize concept effectiveness.”
