چکیده انگلیسی


• Salient solutions to coordination problems (focal points) are defined by social information.
• Matching focal points are defined by shared traits and mismatching by differentiating traits.
• Being alike on a relevant preference aided matching whereas being different aided mismatching.
• Overall perceived similarity was used to supplement specific, relevant trait information.
• Successful matching, but not mismatching, increased interpersonal attraction to one’s partner.

Social focal point theory predicts that, in matching, people search for a shared characteristic that makes one decision option salient whereas, in mismatching, they search for complementary characteristics that make different options salient for each of the coordinating parties. In two studies, participants learned about a partner’s activity preferences and then tried to either match or mismatch choices on a series of pictures that were remotely associated with one of these preferences. Being the same on a relevant preference facilitated matching whereas being different facilitated mismatching. In the second study, participants also used overall perceived similarity to supplement specific trait information. Coordination performance also affected interpersonal impressions: successful matching increased interpersonal attraction whereas successful mismatching did not. These downstream effects were obtained even when participants had considerable prior social information about their partners. Tacit coordination is compared with mimicry and synchrony, and the implications for coordinated team performance are discussed.
