ABSTRACT
The effectiveness of social interaction mainly rests on the capacity of two interlocutors to share time; to coordinate, for example, their rate of speech; or to answer the requests of one or the other at an appropriate moment, neither too early nor too late. Social interaction thus fits into a temporal dynamic, which requires of each individual the uninterrupted processing of temporal information (Chambon, Droit-Volet, & Niedenthal, 2008; Chambon, Gil, Niedenthal, & Droit-Volet, 2005; Droit-Volet & Gil, 2009; Droit-Volet & Meck, 2007). Our objective is to study this social time, more precisely, time perception, in social interactions.
