人与人之间的运动协调不仅受协调方式、振荡频率、个体差异等生物力学因素的影响，还受亲和力、社会能力等心理社会因素的影响。基于“美即是善”的社会刻板印象，这项研究旨在调查人们与外表漂亮的人与长相平平的人之间的协调性是否有所不同。34名参与者被要求与不同外表的(虚拟)代理人进行人际协调任务，同时执行一项反应时间任务。结果表明，与吸引力较差的个体相比，被试对运动吸引力较弱的个体具有更稳定的运动协调性，并且运动协调性的差异不能用特定的注意力分配策略来解释。我们的发现提供了证据，证明外表吸引力确实会影响人们与另一个人的互动方式，而且时空协调的运动会随着伴侣的心理社会特征而变化。这项研究拓宽了探索额外的心理社会因素对社会运动协调的影响的视角。(C)2015爱思唯尔B.V.保留所有权利。
Interpersonal motor coordination is influenced not only by biomechanical factors such as coordination pattern, oscillating frequency, and individual differences, but also by psychosocial factor such as likability and social competences. Based on the social stereotype of "what is beautiful is good", the present study aimed at investigating whether people coordinate differently with physically attractive people compared to less attractive people. 34 participants were engaged in an interpersonal coordination task with different looking (virtual) agents while performing at the same time a reaction time task. Results showed that participants had more stable motor coordination with the moving attractive than with the less attractive agent, and that the difference in motor coordination could not be interpreted by a specific attention allocation strategy. Our findings provide the evidence that physical attractiveness genuinely affects how people interact with another person, and that the temporal-spatial coordinated movement varies with the partner's psychosocial characteristics. The study broadens the perspective of exploring the effect of additional psychosocial factors on social motor coordination. (C) 2015 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
