Interpersonal coordination is widely acknowledged as critical to relating with, connecting to, and understanding others, but the underlying mechanisms of this phenomenon are poorly understood. Dance-particularly improvised dance-offers a valuable paradigm for investigating the dynamics of interpersonal coordination due to its inherent ability to connect us. However, conventional approaches to studying coordination often fail to capture the co-creative spontaneity that is intrinsic to such interactions.
This study combined multiple measures of interpersonal coordination to detect moments of high coordination between two freely improvising dancers. We applied maximum correlation vectors, normalized Symbolic Transfer Entropy (NSTE), and surveys to analyze the time-varying dynamics of similarity in movement speeds, directed influence, and subjective perception of dancers engaged in an improvisation task.
This multi-measure approach offers a means of capturing the interplay between different dimensions of interpersonal coordination.
This approach may be used to understand the underlying mechanisms of co-creative social interactions in improvised dance and other forms of spontaneous interactivity.
人际协调被广泛认为对于与他人建立联系、沟通和理解至关重要，但其潜在机制却鲜为人知。舞蹈——尤其是即兴舞蹈——因其固有的连接能力，为研究人际协调动态提供了一个有价值的范例。然而，传统的协调研究方法往往无法捕捉到此类互动中固有的共同创造的自发性。
本研究结合了多种人际协调测量方法，以检测两位自由即兴舞蹈者之间高度协调的时刻。我们应用最大相关向量、归一化符号转移熵（NSTE）和调查问卷，来分析参与即兴任务的舞者在运动速度、定向影响和主观感知方面的相似性随时间变化的动态。
这种多测量方法提供了一种捕捉人际协调不同维度之间相互作用的手段。
这种方法可用于理解即兴舞蹈和其他形式的自发互动中共同创造的社会互动的潜在机制。
