Abstract
This thesis investigates the problem of computer voice analysis as applied to the negotiation setting. In our study we collected audio recordings of negotiations in a controlled experiment, outlined distinct behaviors within the negotiations, and built a program that can automatically annotate a recorded negotiation. In addition, we analyzed patterns of behaviors within the samples we collected. We found seven distinct behaviors present in the voice signal, and found that the role of the participant in the negotiation affects behavior to some degree.
