Abstract

We studied how personality differences and conversation topics predict interpersonal speech coordination, leading/following dynamics, and nonverbal interactional dominance in dyadic conversations. In a laboratory, 100 undergraduate students (50 same-gender dyads) had a 15-min conversation following three topics (introduction/self-disclosure/argumentation). Their speech coordination and turn-taking (speech/silence) dynamics were assessed through nonlinear time-series analyses: Cross-Recurrence Quantification Analysis (CRQA), Diagonal Cross-Recurrence Profiles (DCRP), and Anisotropic-CRQA. From the time series, we extracted five variables to operationalize speech coordination (global and at lag-zero), leading-following dynamics, and asymmetries in the interacting partners' nonverbal interactional dominance. Interaction appraisals were also assessed. Associations between personality traits Extraversion/Agreeableness, speech coordination, and nonverbal interactional dominance were tested using mixed-effects models. Speech coordination and nonverbal interactional dominance differed across conversational topics and peaked during argumentative conversations. Extraversion was associated with increased speech coordination, and nonverbal interactional dominance, especially during the argumentative conversation. During a self-disclosure conversation, Extraversion concordance was associated with more symmetry in turn-taking dynamics. Speech coordination was generally associated with positive post-conversational appraisals such as wanting to meet in the future or liking the conversation partner, especially in extroverted individuals, whereas introverts seemed to value less swift dynamics. High Agreeableness predicted less speech coordination during argumentative conversations, and increased speech coordination (at lag-zero) predicted reduced perceived naturality in agreeable individuals. This may suggest a trade-off between maintaining swift speech dynamics and the natural flow of conversation for individuals high in Agreeableness.

言语之外:与人格和评价相关的言语协调。
我们研究了人格差异和谈话话题如何预测二元对话中的人际言语协调、领导/跟随动态和非语言互动优势。在一个实验室里,100名本科生(50名同性二人组)进行了15分钟的对话,主题分为三个(介绍/自我表露/论证)。通过非线性时间序列分析:交叉递归量化分析(CRQA)、对角交叉递归曲线(DCRP)和各向异性-CRQA来评估它们的言语协调和轮流(言语/沉默)动态。从时间序列中,我们提取了五个变量来操作语音协调(全局和滞后零),领导-跟随动态以及交互伙伴非语言交互优势的不对称性。相互作用评价也被评估。使用混合效应模型测试了性格特征外向/宜人性、言语协调和非言语互动优势之间的关系。言语协调和非言语互动优势在不同的会话话题中有所不同,并在争论性对话中达到顶峰。外向性与言语协调能力和非言语互动优势的增强有关,尤其是在争论性谈话中。在自我表露的谈话中,外倾性和谐与轮转动力学的对称性相关。言语协调通常与积极的对话后评价有关,比如想在未来见面或喜欢谈话对象,尤其是在外向的人身上,而内向的人似乎不太重视快速的动态。高亲和性预示着在争论性对话中较少的言语协调,而增加的言语协调(在滞后零)预示着在随和的个体中感知到的自然性降低。这可能表明,对于亲和性高的人来说,在保持快速的语言动态和自然的对话流之间需要权衡。补充信息:在线版本包含补充资料,可在10.1007/s10919-025-00482-3获得。
