Coordination in Human and Primate Groups presents one of the first collections of the different approaches and methods used to assess coordination processes in groups. Written by psychologists and primatologists, the book represents a broad range of coordination research fields such as social psychology, work and organizational psychology, medicine, primatology, and behavioural ecology. It is designed for researchers and practitioners interested in understanding the behavioural aspects of group coordination.

Boos, Margarete, Prof. Dr. phil., since 1995 Professor of Industrial and Organisational Psychology at the University Göttingen, Spokesperson of the Courant Research Centre Evolution of Social Behaviour within the Excellence Initiative of the University of Göttingen. Research on group coordination, computer-mediated communication in groups, psychology of brands. Counseling and training in the fields of cooperation and leadership, civil courage and moderation of groups. Kolbe, Michaela, Dr. rer. nat., since 2007 postdoctoral research assistant at the ETH Zurich. She received her Diploma and Ph.D. degrees in Psychology from the University of Goettingen, Germany. Her research focuses on coordination processes in groups, especially decision-making and medical teams. Ellwart, Thomas, Dr., since 2007 Ass. Professor of Applied Psychology at the University of Applied Sciences Northwestern Switzerland. He received the M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in Psychology from Dresden Technical University, Germany. His major focus in research is on work teams with topics such as cooperation and coordination processes, knowledge exchange and process improvement. In these topics his current focus is on influences of age diversity and computer-mediated communication. Kappeler, Peter, Prof. Dr., since 2003 Professorship in Sociobiology/Anthropology (University of Göttingen) and head of the department of Behavioural Ecology and Sociobiology (German Primate Centre). Main fields of research: primate and human behaviour, evolution of social systems, sexual selection, molecular ecology, biodiversity and conservation.
