Study Notes

Nonlinear Dynamics in Psychology and Life Science

Constraints on behavioral variability can either increase or decrease deterministic structure, as indicated by the color-coded graph.
Complexity matching in coupled human behavioral variability involves correlated fractal structures and can be observed between individuals with different levels of behavioral structure.
Complexity matching in the wild, as studied by Rigoli et al. in 2020, shows that the fractal structure of an individual's movements differs for different tasks, but complexity-matching between individuals completing a task together remains invariant to the task or task goal.
Social motor coordination involves interpersonal and intrapersonal interlimb coordination, which can exhibit coupled periodic/rhythmic behaviors.
Manipulated competition in social motor coordination, such as attaching weights to chairs, can lead to different relative phase occurrences between individuals, indicating different levels of coupling strength.
Harmonious interactions, rapport, and social connection can be achieved through social motor coordination, as evidenced by various studies.
Group status manipulation through "art preference" categorization affects the relative phase occurrences in social motor coordination tasks.
Competitive running and sprinting coordination can be studied to determine stride coordination, as seen in the example of Usain Bolt and Tyson Gay in the 100-m final of the 12th IAAF World Championship in Athletics.
A dynamical system is formally defined as a set of rules or equations that determine the future state of a system given its current state, and a state can represent various characteristics or measurements.
A computational dynamical system example is provided, illustrating how the future states of a system at discrete time steps can be determined using a set of rules or equations.
Simple rules can result in complex, unpredictable behavior, as demonstrated by the logistic equation and the conditions under which chaos occurs.
Chaos in human behavior is characterized by unpredictable yet deterministic behavior, which is aperiodic, bounded, and exhibits a sensitive dependence on initial conditions.

Complex Dynamical Systems: Key Aspects and Examples

Complex systems involve a large number of interacting components or agents.
The dynamics of complex systems are nonlinear, meaning outputs are not directly proportional to inputs.
Emergence and self-organization are key features of complex systems, with behaviors depending on context and local interactions.
Examples of emergence and self-organization include coordinated activities of social insects and flocking behaviors.
Craig W. Reynold's Flocking Model demonstrates rules for simulated flocking behavior.
Dynamical human behavior and fractal time-series data exhibit complex time- and event-series dynamics.
Stochastic behaviors, such as self-esteem fluctuations, are part of human behavioral variability.
Fractal structures in human behavioral variability exhibit self-similar or scale-invariant structures.
Human behavioral variability exhibits fractal dynamics, characterized by persistent, anti-persistent, and random fluctuations.
Pink or fractal noise is characteristic of adaptive, flexible, and robust human and animal behavior at various scales.
Fluctuations in self-esteem and physical self-worth are fractal, resulting from individuals' coupling to everyday social and environmental events.
The fractal dynamics of self-esteem and physical self have been studied by Delignières, Fortes, and Ninot (2004).
