Systems and methods for determining social perception scores

A method of constructing a organizational chart, the method comprising:

• gathering data regarding a plurality of captured communicative acts occurring between two parties, the two parties defining a sender and receiver pair;
• using a processor and predefined behavior based patterns stored in at least one database to score each of the plurality of captured communicative acts to determine a plurality of social perception scores for the sender and receiver pair, each one of the plurality of social perception scores representing a perceived social difference between the sender and receiver pair for a respective one of the plurality of captured communicative acts based at least in part on behaviors used during the respective one of the plurality of captured communicative acts;
• and
• combining the plurality of social perception scores for the captured communicative acts occurring between the sender and receiver pair to construct a combined social perception score for the sender and receiver pair indicating the perceived social difference between the sender and receiver pair based on all of the plurality of captured communicative acts between the sender and receiver pair;
• wherein:
• the sender and receiver pair is one of a plurality of sender and receiver pairs in a group, and the processor determines a different combined social perception score for each one of the of plurality of sender and receiver pairs, and
• the method further comprises using an aggregating hardware engine to aggregate the different combined social perception scores for each of the plurality of sender and receiver pairs to construct the organizational chart for the group, the organizational chart for the group indicating relative social perceptions between all individuals in the group that form part of the plurality of sender and receiver pairs.

A computer program product for determining a social perception network, the computer program product comprising a non-transitory computer readable storage medium having computer-readable program code portions stored therein, the computer-readable program code portions comprising:

• a first executable portion for receiving a text based representation for each of a plurality of communicative acts occurring between a pair of communicative entities;
• and
• a second executable portion for determining a pairwise social perception score for the communicative pair, wherein the pairwise social perception score is based on behavior strategies used during the plurality of communicative acts occurring between the pair of communicative entities;
• wherein:
• the pair of communicative entities are part of an organization having more than two entities,
• the second executable portion determines a pairwise social perception score for other entities in the organization based on communicative acts in addition to the plurality of communicative acts between the pair of communicative entities, and
• the computer program product further includes a third executable portion for compiling the pairwise social perception scores for the pair of communicative entities and the other entities in the organization to construct the social perception network for the organization indicating relative social perception between all entities in the organization that participated in the plurality of communicative acts and the communicative acts in addition to the plurality of communicative acts.
