Interpersonal synchrony-the temporally coordinated alignment of behavior, physiology, and neural activity-is crucial for successful social interaction and group performance. However, the context-dependent nature of synchrony remains underexplored. This study offers an empirical test of the multimodal flexible synchrony theory, which posits that social contexts are defined by two latent potentials: the pull toward synchrony and the pull toward segregation. According to the theory, these latent pulls shape the expression and function of multimodal synchrony. To test this theory experimentally, these pulls were manipulated in a dyadic coordination task, and their effects on the relationship between two indices of physiological synchrony, performance, and group cohesion were examined. Results revealed that the relationship between physiological synchrony and performance and cohesion depends on the balance of these contextual pulls. In high-segregation contexts, heart rate interbeat interval (IBI) synchrony was negatively associated with performance, while in low-segregation contexts, IBI synchrony was positively associated with performance. These results were also true for the association between IBI synchrony and cohesion but only in high-synchrony contexts. Electrodermal activity (EDA) synchrony was positively associated with performance in high-segregation or low-synchrony contexts and was negatively associated with performance in low-segregation or high-synchrony contexts. EDA synchrony was not associated with group cohesion. These findings provide validation for the flexible multimodal theory and have significant implications for understanding and optimizing human collaboration across various social settings, suggesting the importance of considering both the need for alignment and individual autonomy.

人际同步——行为、生理和神经活动在时间上的协调一致——对成功的社会互动和群体表现至关重要。然而，同步的上下文依赖性质仍未得到充分探索。本研究对多模态灵活同步性理论进行了实证检验，该理论认为社会背景是由两种潜在因素决定的：向同步性的拉力和向隔离的拉力。根据理论，这些潜在的牵引力决定了多模态同步性的表达和功能。为了验证这一理论，我们在一个二元协调任务中对这些牵引力进行了操作，并研究了它们对生理同步、表现和群体凝聚力两个指标之间关系的影响。结果表明，生理同步性与表现和凝聚力之间的关系取决于这些上下文牵引力的平衡。在高隔离环境下，心率间搏间隔（IBI）同步性与运动表现呈负相关，而在低隔离环境下，IBI同步性与运动表现呈正相关。这些结果也适用于IBI同步性和内聚性之间的关联，但仅适用于高同步性上下文。皮电活动（EDA）同步性与高隔离或低同步环境下的表现呈正相关，与低隔离或高同步环境下的表现呈负相关。EDA同步性与群体内聚性无关。这些发现为灵活的多模态理论提供了验证，并对理解和优化不同社会环境下的人类协作具有重要意义，表明了考虑一致性需求和个人自主性的重要性。（PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2025 APA，版权所有）。

This article provides an executive summary of the American Psychological Association's (2024) approved Guidelines for Psychological Practice With Older Adults. As many more Americans are living longer, the demand for mental health services for older adults across many settings is increasing, as is the need for guidance for psychologists with limited training in working with older adults. Newly organized to be consistent with the Pikes Peak geropsychology competencies, the guidelines provide updated recommendations regarding attitudes, general aspects of aging, intersectionality of individual identities, clinical issues, assessment, intervention, consultation, professional issues, and continuing education and training relevant to practice for psychologists working with older adults, including an increased focus on diversity and telehealth. In this executive summary, we provide brief synopses of the 21 guidelines and conclude with suggested resources for professional development in this vitally important area of clinical practice.

Scholars have written extensively about self-narratives, paying particular attention to how they help or hinder well-being. The underlying view is that, while some self-narrative structures and content serve people better than others, self-narratives are pervasive and necessary for numerous positive life outcomes, notably meaning and motivation. Without disputing that many people have self-narratives and benefit from them in these ways, we propose that others may abandon self-narratives in favor of less storied, but potentially no less meaningful or motivated, ways of being. To clarify life without self-narratives, we first consider why one might wish to abandon them, noting that some may find them inauthentic, self-absorbed, superfluous, or impediments to change. Next, we consider how one might avoid self-narratives and adopt an unnarrated self. In particular, we present embracing arbitrary commitment and orienting toward the present as approaches to experience that can facilitate an unnarrated self of meaning and motivation. Our overarching contention is that, despite its assumed ubiquity, the practice of telling ourselves stories about ourselves-even the best versions of those stories-is not always necessary or helpful. For some, abstaining from such stories may afford a richer and more viable connection to experience, fulfillment, and committed action. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2025 APA, all rights reserved).
学者们写了大量关于自我叙述的文章，特别关注它们是如何帮助或阻碍幸福感的。潜在的观点是，虽然一些自我叙述的结构和内容比其他的更好地服务于人们，但自我叙述对于许多积极的生活结果，尤其是意义和动机，是普遍和必要的。毫无疑问，许多人都有自我叙述，并以这些方式从中受益，但我们认为，其他人可能会放弃自我叙述，转而选择不那么引人注目，但可能同样有意义或有动力的存在方式。为了澄清没有自我叙述的生活，我们首先考虑为什么人们可能希望放弃它们，注意到有些人可能会发现它们不真实，自私，多余或阻碍改变。接下来，我们考虑一个人如何避免自我叙述，并采取一个非叙述的自我。特别是，我们提出拥抱任意的承诺和面向现在作为经验的方法，可以促进一个意义和动机的未叙述的自我。我们最主要的论点是，尽管它被认为无处不在，但给自己讲故事的做法——即使是这些故事的最好版本——并不总是必要的或有益的。对一些人来说，不讲这样的故事可能会给他们带来更丰富、更可行的体验、成就感和坚定的行动。（PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2025 APA，版权所有）。
