The SocioMetric Badges Corpus: A Multilevel Behavioral Dataset for Social Behavior in Complex Organizations

This paper presents the SocioMetric Badges Corpus, a new corpus for social interaction studies collected during a 6 weeks contiguous period in a research institution, monitoring the activity of 53 people. The design of the corpus was inspired by the need to provide researchers and practitioners with: a) raw digital trace data that could be used to directly address the task of investigating, reconstructing and predicting people´s actual social behavior in complex organizations, b) information about participants´ individual characteristics (e.g., personality traits), along with c) data concerning the general social context (e.g., participants´ social networks) and the specific situations they find themselves in.
