Two to Tango : Automatic Social Coordination and the Role of Felt Effort
Two to Tango : Automatic Social Coordination and the Role of Felt Effort
This chapter examines the critically important role of social coordination to social interactions and performing complex tasks. Social coordination is defined as an automatic response to a given situation or condition involving socially transmitted information, a finding that can help in explaining the reason for social coordination processes occurring without any conscious and subjective efforts. The chapter explores a wide variety of social coordination experiences that occur at different levels of social interactions, along with their potential functions. It also describes a different approach to social coordination, including the related neural and social cognitive aspects, and addresses how effortless action characterized by processing smoothness operates as a functional indicator of effective coordination.
