Rating Responses to the FIS Stimulus Clips
Our typical method is to rate recorded responses to the FIS task (i.e., the stimulus clips) with observational ratings. This tab provides the rating manual and some examples responses used to train raters.

Example Responses
The example responses that we provide are for individual research teams and to demonstrate high and low levels of the skills. The examples are provided from within our lab and are not for distribution but can be used to train your raters. These will be posted on this site in the future, but at this point please contact Tim Anderson for accessing examples.
Here is an Excel Spreadsheet that can be easily adapted for any FIS coding project. The description for and scaling for the 8 FIS items are included in the tabs along the bottom and recorded responses are embedded too. We've found this format to be easy for individual raters to use and then copied by the group leader onto a single spreadsheet for reliability analyses of multiple raters.
