In and out of synchrony—Behavioral and physiological dynamics of dyadic interpersonal coordination
Abstract Interpersonal synchrony, the temporal coordination of actions, emotions, thoughts and physiological processes, is a widely studied ubiquitous phenomenon. Research has already established that more synchrony is not always more beneficial, especially in the fields of emotional and physiological synchrony. Despite this fact, the dominant tone in the literature is that behavioral interpersonal synchrony is a pro‐social phenomenon, and hence, in social contexts, more behavioral synchrony is...
