Zusammenfassung: | Synchronization has recently received attention as a form of interpersonal
interaction that may affect the affiliative relationships of those engaged in
it. While there is evidence to suggest that synchronized movements lead to
increased affiliative behavior (

;

), the influence of other interpersonal cues has yet
to be fully controlled. The current study controls for these features by using
computer algorithms to replace human partners. By removing genuine interpersonal
interaction, it also tests whether sounds alone can influence affiliative
relationships, when it appears that another human agent has triggered those
sounds. Results suggest that subjective experience of synchrony had a positive
effect on a measure of trust, but task success was a similarly good predictor.
An objective measure of synchrony was only related to trust in conditions where
participants were instructed to move at the same time as stimuli. |
