Yes,  joint action and interaction seem synonymous.  The use of joint action to group two or more actions by two or more actors in an interaction flows pretty smoothly for me though.

Ken,

 

Actually, there are two types of Willingness articulated in that passage from the RM.  One associated with interaction (which is the primary focus) but also one associated with action.

 

And this is why I hate the concept of Joint Action introduced in the RA.  It is absolutely IMPOSSIBLE to explain this concept to anybody.  Can’t even understand it myself and we cannot go out there and hand hold everybody who reads the RA to explain what the heck we mean by Joint Action.  In my opinion, there’s interaction and action and that’s what we should concentrate on.  Period.  Hate it when we deviate from the core concepts of the RM.  I think you’d agree.
