Group coordination is a relevant prerequisite for understanding the effectiveness of groups. But, contrary to the large number of empirical studies, only a few studies concentrate on the development of analysis methods of coordination in groups. Hence, the purpose of this paper is to give a summary of the opportunities and limitations of common methods for capturing group coordination in applied field settings and to outline how visual analytics approaches might add to the common methods. Based on two illustrated visual analytics implementation examples—1) coordination and movements of soccer players, and 2) spatio-temporal event data—the potential of visual analytics approaches is identified for studying a greater variety of types of group coordination, and to consider the multifaceted nature of group processes in order to go beyond traditional coding processes.

The basic idea of this chapter is to provide an introduction to the design and conduct of frequency analysis for group research. Frequency analysis has been commonly used for decades in several disciplines and fields of research as stand alone procedures (e.g., configural frequency analysis in clinical psychology, Lienert, 1971). But, despite of specialised articles in experimental psychology journals (e.g., Wickens, 1993), the description of frequency analysis as a specific method within group studies (e.g., coding group interaction data like chat protocols, then calculating frequencies across categories) is rare. This is remarkable, because the interests in frequency analysis nowadays have moved towards to the procedures of implementing its results as indices for further analysis, e.g. for the investigation of relationships between group processes like collaboration and outputs like performance by using the results of frequency analysis as inputs in inferential statistics. In this vein, this chapter attempts to highlight the most important options to use frequency analysis in group research as a relevant brick to gap the bridge between qualitative and quantitative methods (mixed method research). Furthermore, we fold into our descriptions and discussions empirical examples to illustrate the prerequisites, requirements and consequences of using frequency analysis in the field of group research. Finally, we clarify ways to present the results of frequency analysis for analyzing group data.
