What does it take to collaborate? The role of heart, words and skills in interpersonal synergies”

What does it take to collaborate? In this talk I will cover three empirical studies investigating interpersonal coordinative dynamics at very diverse levels, all inspired by the model of interpersonal synergies. In the first study I will discuss the role of heart rate entrainment in group collaborations and the mechanisms supporting it. In the second study, the role of linguistic alignment in a joint decision task. Finally, I will cover cognitive diversity in a collaborative Scrabble-like task.
