Analysis of group behavior based on sharing heterogeneous roles in a triad using a coordinated drawing task

Humans often share roles and aim to achieve a group goal based on sociality, which is the tendency to spontaneously involve oneself with others. Cognitive science, psychology, and neuroscience studies suggest that in such planned coordination, adjusting one’s own actions based on other roles is cruc...

description Humans often share roles and aim to achieve a group goal based on sociality, which is the tendency to spontaneously involve oneself with others. Cognitive science, psychology, and neuroscience studies suggest that in such planned coordination, adjusting one’s own actions based on other roles is crucial for high task performance. However, the mechanisms of complex and dynamically planned coordination, such as non-verbal group behavior with three or more members, remain to be fully investigated. This study introduced a coordinated drawing task in a triad, quantitatively analyzed non-verbal group behavior based on sharing heterogeneous roles, and investigated an important role. Participant triads engaged in the task repeatedly by operating reels to change thread tensions and moving a pen connected to the three threads to draw an equilateral triangle. Then, the three roles (pulling, relaxing, and adjusting) had to be shared. The pulling and relaxing roles served to move the pen as if an operator pulled it closer to the hand and to support the pen’s movement, respectively. However, these roles alone could not draw a side considering the task specification. The adjusting role needed to change the tension flexibly and maintain an overall balance. In the experiment, we measured the pen positions and tensions, and established statistical models to fit the analyzed data. The results estimated that the action in the adjusting role was related to the improved performance of faster drawing on a side. This role may moderately intervene in the actions by the other roles and fine-tune without disturbing the pen’s smooth movement while avoiding great pen deviation. Our findings may suggest the crucial role as a facilitator that handles resiliently in non-verbal coordinated behavior of a triad, and contribute to our understanding of social interactions.
