Plessimetric is an adjective that pertains to the study or measurement of the strength or intensity of applause or other types of audible support or feedback bestowed upon a performer, speaker, or event. It specifically refers to the analysis and evaluation of the volume, duration, rhythm, or quality of audience applause or acclamation.
The term "plessimetric" is derived from two root words: "plessio" which is derived from the Greek word "plessein" meaning to strike or clap, and "metric" which refers to the measurement or quantification of something. Together, these roots mean the quantification or measurement of clapping or applause.
In practice, plessimetric analysis involves various techniques for gauging and assessing the quantitative and qualitative aspects of applause in order to characterize the audience's response. This may include analyzing the sound levels with decibel meters, evaluating the temporal patterns through the use of sound recording devices and specialized software, or even surveying the audience to gather subjective impressions of the applause. Plessimetric research and findings can be useful in many fields, including event planning, public speaking, market research, and entertainment industries to gauge success, engagement, or reception of a performance or event.
Overall, plessimetric provides a means to objectively measure and evaluate the auditory expressions of support or appreciation, enabling a better understanding and assessment of audience reactions in various settings.
