It's a concept, not a specific thing. I'm not sure why you think it should be the passive. Also I have no idea what you mean by "back-channeling". It's listed as one translation for 相槌 in EDICT, but I've never heard the word and I imagine it's a linguistic term.

相槌なんてうつ気にもならない話→"a story that doesn't make one feel like using 相槌"
