Title of the presentation: Links between joint action and pro-sociality
Speaker: Natalie Sebanz (Central European University)
Abstract: In this talk, I will give a summary of previous accounts and findings that postulate a link between pro-sociality and joint action. This includes the social brain hypothesis, which suggests that the complexity of group coordination improves social cognitive abilities; the co-efficiency hypothesis, which assumes that co-actors prioritize group efficiency over individual efficiency; as well as evidence for the idea that joint action is inherently rewarding and tends to increase pro-sociality. I will present findings from a few recent and ongoing studies that further explore how joint action mechanisms and different aspects of pro-sociality might be related.
Please note that this seminar will not be recorded and made available on YouTube afterwards.
