Visual information and communication context as modulators of interpersonal coordination in face-to-face and videoconference-based interactions

Interpersonal coordination of body movement—or the similarity in patterning and timing of body movement between interaction partners over time—is a well-documented phenomenon in face-to-face (FTF) conversation. The present study will investigate the degree to which interpersonal coordination is impa...

Visual information and communication context as modulators of interpersonal coordination in face-to-face and videoconference-based interactions
description Interpersonal coordination of body movement—or the similarity in patterning and timing of body movement between interaction partners over time—is a well-documented phenomenon in face-to-face (FTF) conversation. The present study will investigate the degree to which interpersonal coordination is impacted by the amount of visual information available and the type of interaction conversation partners are having. To do so within a naturalistic context, we take advantage of changes induced by the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic.
