Description
Camille Wynn and colleagues built a new survey tool in a 2026 study on how people judge talks. No well-tested tool existed to rate whether a single conversation felt worthwhile and satisfying. The team drafted the Person-Reported Outcome of Conversational Success, called PROCS, from past research and expert input.
Interviews with 39 people refined the wording and format. Then 50 people used it after live talks, and 817 people rated talks they recalled. The final tool can score one conversation, and the authors say careful input from varied users supports its clarity and use in research and clinics.
