“…Consequentially, discriminating alternative action events should be more challenging the more similar those events are, resulting in varying effect sizes with varying degrees of similarity (i.e., more similar = larger JSE). These assumptions nicely converge with previous findings showing increased (non-social and social) JSEs with increasing similarity of alternative action events: e.g., Human Romantic-Partner > Human Friend ( Quintard et al, 2018 ), Human Ingroup > Human Outgroup ( Iani et al, 2011 ; Müller et al, 2011 ), Human > Puppet ( Tsai and Brass, 2007 ), Human > Computer ( Tsai et al, 2008 ), Robot Human-like > Robot Machine-like ( Stenzel et al, 2012 ); Japanese waving cat > Clock > Metronome ( Dolk et al, 2013 ).…”

Are You Keeping an Eye on Me? The Influence of Competition and Cooperation on Joint Simon Task Performance

Social interaction plays an important role in human life. While there are instances that require cooperation, there are others that force people to compete rather than to cooperate, in order to achieve certain goals. A key question is how the deployment of attention differs between cooperative and competitive situation; however, empirical investigations have yielded inconsistent results. By manipulating the (in-)dependence of individuals via performance-contingent incentives, in a visual go–nogo Simon task the current study aimed at improving our understanding of complementary task performance in a joint action context. In the independent condition each participant received what s/he achieves; in the cooperative condition each participant received the half of what both achieved, and in the competitive condition participants were instructed that the winner takes it all. Extending previous findings, we found sequential processing adjustments of the Simon effect as a function of the interdependency (i.e., competition, cooperation) and transition between (i.e., go–nogo requirements) interacting individuals. While sequential processing adjustments of the Simon effect in both the competition and cooperation condition were unaffected when alternating between responsible actors (i.e., nogo–go transition), sequential processing adjustments were enlarged under competition for repeating responsibilities of one and the same actor (i.e., go–go transitions). In other words, the prospect of performance-contingent reward in a competitive context exclusively impacts flexible behavioral adjustments of one’s own actions. Rather than fostering the consideration and differentiation of the other actor, pushing one’s own performance to the limit appears to be the suitable strategy in competitive instances of complementary tasks. Therefore, people keep their eyes on themselves when aiming at beating a co-actor and emerging as the winner.

“…Our findings, in line with previous work 24,25,30 , provide evidence in support of the sensitivity of JSE to social factors. These results could be explained by both main accounts of the JSE.…”

“…Our results extend these findings and show that a simple measure of interpersonal closeness could predict the magnitude of the JSE. Consistent with our findings, more recently, Quintard et al 24 showed that the magnitude of the JSE was positively correlated with a measure of passion felt for the romantic partners. They also measured the IOS scale but failed to show a correlation between the measured IOS scale and the JSE in romantic partners and in friends of the opposite sex.…”

“…If so, our results could be explained by a combination of the self-expansion model and the action representation model, meaning that the JSE arises from representing other's actions with a stronger representation of the actions of close partners. This is quite in line with the suggestion that the selfexpansion model (i.e., reduction in self-other discrimination) is supported in the bodily level as well as the conceptual level (i.e., traits, interests, attitudes) of self-representation 24 .…”

Here we investigated the effect of interpersonal closeness on joint action using the joint Simon task in adolescents and adults. In a two-choice reaction time task, spatially defined responses to non-spatial stimulus attributes are faster when stimulus and response locations are congruent than when they are incongruent. This phenomenon is called Simon effect and is absent or strongly weakened when a participant responds to only one of the stimuli. However, the effect reappears when two participants carry out the same go/no-go tasks cooperatively. This re-emergence of the Simon effect in joint action is called the joint Simon effect (JSE). In this study, we first replicated the standard and joint Simon effects in adolescents, as well as adults with similar magnitude of the effects in the two age groups. The magnitude of the JSE was positively correlated with the level of closeness as measured by Inclusion of Other in the Self scale. This correlation was not significantly different in adolescents compared to adults. Our findings show that joint action is sensitive to the social factor such as interpersonal closeness, and the underlying mechanisms are already mature by adolescence.

“…Closeness, rather than the relationship type per se, may be responsible for differences in negativity across recalled interactions. Perceived interpersonal closeness tends to be stronger with romantic partners than with friends (Quintard, Jouffre, Croizet, & Bouquet, 2018), which may account for the significant interaction effect involving depressed individuals' high rates of negative self-focused language when recalling an experience with a friend they were less interpersonally close with. In other words, if perceived self-other overlap is inherently less between friends than romantic partners, then it stands to reason that the positive correlation between depression and negative self-focused language is robust for low rather than high IOS.…”

Depressed Individuals Use Negative Self-Focused Language When Recalling Recent Interactions with Close Romantic Partners but Not Family or

Depression is characterized by a selffocused negative attentional bias, which is often reflected in everyday language use. In a prospective writing study, we explored whether the association between depressive symptoms and negative, selffocused language varies across social contexts. College students (N = 243) wrote about a recent interaction with a person they care deeply about. Depression symptoms positively correlated with negative emotion words and first-person singular pronouns (or negative self-focus) when writing about a recent interaction with romantic partners or, to a lesser extent, friends, but not family members. The pattern of results was more pronounced when participants perceived greater self-other overlap (i.e., interpersonal closeness) with their romantic partner. Findings regarding how the linguistic profile of depression differs by type of relationship may inform more effective methods of clinical diagnosis and treatment.
