Abstract
BACKGROUND: A current issue in social psychophysiology is the investigation of strategies for achieving outcomes in team activities and the factors influencing their selection across various professional domains.
AIM: To identify strategies for achieving joint cognitive task outcomes in dyads of subjects with different personality traits and individual performance indicators.
METHODS: 52 male dyads and 50 female dyads (mean age: 17 years 9 months ± 3 months, dyad members were acquainted with each other) were examined after providing voluntary informed consent. Personality traits were assessed using the Big Five questionnaire. Participants performed the Pattern Recognition test individually, competitively, and cooperatively in dyads.
RESULTS: Joint and separate cooperation strategies were identified, characterized by comparable levels of integral success and similar distribution across the entire sample and within male and female dyad groups. Performance indicators under the two strategies differed in timing and error rates. Compared to the joint strategy, the separate strategy resulted in faster completion and identification of more patterns, but with more errors. Dyads employing the joint strategy demonstrated higher individual error rates, greater error differences between partners, and more similar work pace, compared with those who later adopted the separate strategy. Dyad participants with a joint cooperation strategy exhibited higher baseline levels of the personality traits “agreeableness” and “relaxedness,” and a lower level of activity compared with participants who adopted a separate strategy.
CONCLUSION: The findings contribute to the understanding of strategic choices in team-based intellectual activity and their association with individual partner characteristics. These patterns may serve as a basis for developing methods to select collaborators for achieving integrated results in various fields of activity.
