Synchronization of autonomic arousal levels within dyads and larger teams has been associated with several types of social-behavioral outcome. One previous study reported greater physiological influence (brain activity in one area of the parietal lobe associated with verbal activity) of leaders on followers than of followers on leaders; influence was measured pairwise within triadic problem solving groups. The present study explored synchronized autonomic arousal with leadership outcomes in two experiments with group sizes of three to eight members. Drivers, who had the greatest physiological impact on other team members were consistently less like the leader of the group. Empaths, who were the most receptive to autonomic signals from others, were not consistently associated with leadership roles, although they did show sensitivity to team dynamics in their ratings of cognitive and social sources of workload. The tentative conclusion, subject to future research, is that successful leadership requires a balance between the driver and empath orientations.
二元组和更大团队中自主唤醒水平的同步与几种社会行为结果相关。先前的一项研究报告称，领导者对追随者的生理影响（与言语活动相关的顶叶一个区域的大脑活动）大于追随者对领导者的影响；这种影响是在三人解决问题小组中两两测量的。本研究在两个实验中探讨了自主唤醒同步与领导结果之间的关系，实验小组规模为三到八名成员。对其他团队成员生理影响最大的“驱动者”一直不太像团队领导者。“共情者”最容易接受来自他人的自主信号，他们与领导角色之间并没有始终如一的关联，尽管他们在对认知和社会工作量来源的评分中确实表现出对团队动态的敏感性。有待未来研究验证的初步结论是，成功的领导需要在“驱动者”和“共情者”取向之间取得平衡。
