**This repository contains the data and scripts related to the manuscript mentioned below** Motor Behaviour Mimics the Gaze Response in Establishing Joint Attention, but Individual Differences in Adopting the Intentional Stance Towards Robots Moderate Responses to Joint Attention. Cesco Willemse, Abdulaziz Abubshait, and Agnieszka Wykowska *Abstract* Leading another person’s gaze to establish joint attention facilitates social interaction. Previously it was found that we look back at agents who engage in joint attention frequently and more quickly than agents who display this behaviour less often. This paper serves to fill in two knowledge gaps on the topic. Firstly, we examine whether this looking-back behaviour is replicated by a manual response. In an online, eyetracker-free task in which participant were asked to select one of two objects, one robot identity followed the selection most of the time, whilst the other looked at the other object most of the time. Participants moved back to the robot more quickly if the robot which most of the time followed their movement looked at the same object relative to when it did not. We found no such difference for the robot which most of the time did not follow participants. Secondly, we used the current datasets and datasets from prior experiments to look into how individual dif-ferences in autistic traits and readiness to adopt the intentional stance toward artificial agents affect how participants’ behaviour changed over time during the experiments. The results showed that individual differences in adopting the intentional stance influenced participants’ motor responses overtime, but not their gaze behaviour. Taken together, this indicates that whereas individual differences may not fully predicate reflexive social behaviour, its evoked gaze behaviour is likely coupled with motor actions.
