By bridging the literature on Shared Mental Models and the Individual Zones of Optimal Functioning (IZOF), I advance a new framework called the Shared Zones of Optimal Functioning (SZOF). The SZOF is a probabilistic methodology designed to (a) capture optimal and sub-optimal performance experiences in teams, (b) track team momentum through the analysis of within-team performance fluctuations, and (c) estimate within-team psycho-bio-social synchrony and leader-follower dynamics (i.e., leader-follower dichotomy; shared-leadership). To test the SZOF framework, three dyadic juggling teams were asked to juggle for 60 trials, while having their performance, arousal, pleasantness and attentional levels recorded. Ordinal logistic regression, frequency counts, and cross-correlation analyses revealed that each team showed idiosyncratic affective and attentional levels linked to optimal performance, team momentum patterns, and leader-follower dynamics. The implications of these findings for the development of high-performing teams and specific avenues of future research are discussed throughout.

最佳功能的共享区域：捕获团队中最高绩效，动量，心理—生物—社会同步以及团队中领导与跟随动态的框架

通过将有关共享心理模型和最佳功能的各个区域（IZOF）的文献衔接起来，我提出了一个称为“最佳功能的共享区域”（SZOF）的新框架。SZOF是一种概率方法，旨在（a）捕获团队中最佳和次优的绩效经验，（b）通过分析团队内部绩效波动来跟踪团队动量，以及（c）评估团队内部心理生物社会同步和领导者与跟随者的动态关系（即领导者与跟随者的二分法；共享领导）。为了测试SZOF框架，要求三个二元杂耍小组进行60次试验，同时记录他们的表现，唤醒，愉悦和关注水平。有序逻辑回归，频率计数，互相关分析表明，每个团队都表现出与最佳绩效，团队动力模式和跟随者动态相关的特质情感和注意力水平。全文讨论了这些发现对高绩效团队的发展以及未来研究的特定途径的影响。
