Abstract

<p>The article considers the problem of coordination of individual experience in the situation when individuals achieve a collective result. In terms of the system-evolutionary approach, such coordination is described as mutual-co-operation. The aim of the study was to evaluate possible variants of individual experience coordination in the conditions of joint solution of textual tasks (in dyads). Analytical logical ("Knights and Liars", "Grid-logic") and holistic ("Anagrams", "Moral Judgements") textual problems were used. Two criteria for distinguishing dyads were tested: 1. "Analytic-Holistic" of individuals and 2. "Groups representing different ways of solving". It was hypothesized that if individuals had different psychological characteristics ("analytic-holistic"), they would be more effective on both analytic and holistic tasks due to inter-individual complementarity, and if they were similar ("analytic-analytic" or "holistic-holistic"), they would be more effective on either analytic or holistic tasks. Although the relationship of performance with complementarity in problem solving according to the criterion "Analytic-Holistic" was found, the relationship with complementarity according to the criterion "Groups representing different ways of solving" turned out to be more pronounced. The belonging of individuals in the dyad to groups similar in the ways of problem solving may contribute to the mentioned performance to a greater extent. Thus, complementarity can be both for different and similar characteristics, which is consistent with the position on the necessity of mutual co-interaction of the degrees of freedom of individuals to achieve a collective result.</p>
