{"pk":28260,"title":"Mind wandering during conversations affects subjective but not objective outcomes","subtitle":null,"abstract":"How much do we mind wander during conversations, and how does that affect objective outcomes and subjective per-ceptions of the conversation? We studied computed-mediated dyadic negotiations during which participants (N = 144)discreetly reported whenever they were thinking about something else, and whenever they thought their partner was not at-tending. Participants mind wandered around 19% of the time. Surprisingly, the number of times that a participant thoughtthat their counterpart was not attending correlated almost perfectly with the first participants own number of mind wander-ing reports (r-partial = .941), but very poorly with the other participants number of reports (r-partial = .004) (controlled fortime until agreement). Mind wandering negatively affected subjective (F(1, 57) = 6.48, p = .014) but not objective (F(1,57) = .089, p = .766) outcomes. These findings suggest that mind wandering, and the attribution of mind wandering toothers, leads to worse social psychological outcomes.","language":"eng","license":{"name":"","short_name":"","text":null,"url":""},"keywords":[],"section":"Abstracts-Posters","is_remote":true,"remote_url":"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/99d8d7vj","frozenauthors":[{"first_name":"Myrthe","middle_name":"","last_name":"Faber","name_suffix":"","institution":"Donders Centre for Cognitive Neuroimaging","department":""},{"first_name":"McKenzie","middle_name":"","last_name":"Rees","name_suffix":"","institution":"Southern Methodist University","department":""},{"first_name":"Sidney","middle_name":"","last_name":"D'Mello","name_suffix":"","institution":"University of Colorado Boulder","department":""}],"date_submitted":null,"date_accepted":null,"date_published":"2018-01-01T18:00:00Z","render_galley":null,"galleys":[{"label":"PDF","type":"pdf","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/28260/galley/17919/download/"}]}
