Among the task behaviors considered were: initiating, seeking information and opinions, giving information and opinions, clarifying and elaborating, summarizing, and consensus testing—were used to study the six-task behavior during the conference. The qualitative observational method was used to examine the level of participation in the discussions. The observers used an audio recorder to produce a transcript and minutes of the meetings.

The high participators also the ones who aim to initiate, seek information, give an opinion, clarifies, elaborates, summarize, and sphere head consensus testing in the discussion.
