Abstract

Doctors and patients influence each other when interacting and, as a result, can become similar to each other in affect and behavior. In the current work, we examine whether they also become similar to each other on a moment-to-moment basis in their physiological responses. Specifically, we examine physiological linkage—how much a doctor's (or patient's) physiological response predicts a patient's (or doctor's) response at a subsequent time interval—and whether this changes over the course of doctor-patient relationships (measured as the number of consultations held for each unique doctor-patient dyad).
