Competence-based social status and implicit preference modulate the ability to coordinate during a joint grasping task
Abstract Studies indicate that social status influences people’s social perceptions. Less information is available about whether induced social status influences dyadic coordination during motor interactions.

| Sumario: | Abstract Studies indicate that social status influences people’s social perceptions. Less information is available about whether induced social status influences dyadic coordination during motor interactions. To explore this issue, we designed a study in which two confederates obtained high or low competence-based status by playing a game together with the participant, while the participant always occupied the middle position of the hierarchy. Following this status-inducing phase, participants were engaged in a joint grasping task with the high- and low-status confederates in different sessions while behavioural (i.e., interpersonal asynchrony and movement start time) indexes were measured. Participants’ performance in the task (i.e., level of interpersonal asynchrony) when interacting with the low-status partner was modulated by their preference for him. The lower participants’ preference for a low- relative to a high-status confederate, the worse participants’ performance when interacting with the low-status confederate. Our results show that participants’ performance during motor interactions changes according to the social status of the interaction partner. |
