Time flies

Abstract

Disciplinary background A. Music psychology. In Western classical music, participation generally involves a preparation period, and a performance. Time constraints have been shown to affect behaviour during rehearsal (Kokotsaki, 2007) and shifts in focus observed as performance approaches, from verbal communication to nonverbal interactions (King & Gritten, 2018). Disciplinary background B.Organisational science. The punctuated equilibrium model of team development (Gersick, 1991) predicts a change in behaviour at the calendar midpoint, regardless of the timeframe over which this unfolds. Later research suggests this provides a type of 'semistructure' (Okhuysen & Waller, 2002), which, along with familiarity, norms and goals, provides a framework for working on complex tasks.
