Little is known about how people learn to take into account others' opinions in joint decisions. To address this question, we combined computational and empirical approaches. Human dyads made individual and joint visual perceptual decision and rated their confidence in those decisions (data previously published). We trained a reinforcement (temporal difference) learning agent to get the partici...

Recent studies show that Theory of Mind (ToM) has implications for children's social competences and psychological well-being. Nevertheless, although it is well documented that children overall take advantage when they have to resolve cognitive problems together with a partner, whether individual difference in ToM is one of the mechanisms that could explain cognitive performances produced in so...

Maternal mental health and the contents of her representational world are important determinants of early parent–child relationship. We examined, first, the role of prenatal and postnatal depressive symptoms and maternal attachment style in predicting the quality of mother–child interaction. Second, we analysed whether the secure-autonomous attachment style can protect the dyadic interaction fr...

Dyadic rationals are rationals whose denominator is a power of 2. Dyadic triangles and dyadic polygons are respectively de ned as the intersections with the dyadic plane of a triangle or polygon in the real plane whose vertices lie in the dyadic plane. The one-dimensional analogues are dyadic intervals. Algebraically, dyadic polygons carry the structure of a commutative, entropic and idempotent...

abstract background and aim: the purpose of the present research was to validating the revised dyadic adjustment scales for marital quality in men and women referred in sanandaj counseling centered. methods: disgn is a study of correlation sort (factor analysis of tendentious oblimin rotation sort). in this research 384 subjects(women and men) were selected from clients in sanandaj counseling c...

This article traces a program of research on the interplay between social thought and social interaction. Early investigations of the impact of perceivers' expectancies on the actions of target individuals illuminated the contribution of perceivers to the identity negotiation process but overlooked the role of targets. The research discussed here is based on the assumption that targets play an ...

This study explores the empirical basis for multimodal conversation control acts. Applying conversation analysis as an exploratory approach, we attempt to illuminate the control functions of paralinguistic behaviors in managing multiparty conversation. We contrast our multiparty analysis with an earlier dyadic analysis and, to the extent permitted by our small samples of the corpus, contrast (a...

In this paper, we model dyadic human conversational interactions from a nonlinear dynamical systems perspective. We focus on deriving measures of the underlying system complexity using the observed dyadic behavioral signals. Specifically, we analyze different measures of complexity in prosody of speech (pitch and energy) during dyadic conversations of couples with marital conflict. We evaluate ...

When actors in a social network interact, it usually means they have some general goal towards which they are collaborating. This could be a research collaboration in a company or a foursome planning a golf game. We call such groups planning groups. In many social contexts, it might be possible to observe the dyadic interactions between actors, even if the actors do not explicitly declare what ...

Rapport has been identified as an important function of human interaction, but to our knowledge no model exists of building and maintaining rapport between humans and conversational agents over the long-term that operates at the level of the dyad. In this paper we leverage existing literature and a corpus of peer tutoring data to develop a framework able to explain how humans in dyadic interact...
