Previous research has found that spontaneous synchronization of bodily movements
emerges when people interact. This dynamic interactional synchrony occurs in all kinds of …

Behavioral synchronization is one mechanism through which people coordinate their
behavior in social interactions. Researchers from a wide range of scientific disciplines have …

Past research has revealed that natural social interactions contain interactional synchrony.
The present study describes new methods for measuring interactional synchrony in natural …

In their recent article “Bodily synchronization underlying joke telling,” Schmidt et al.(2014)
argue that two-person neuroscience is an insufficient approach to explain interpersonal …

If you watch footage of a jazz quintet, even with the sound turned off, you will witness
synchrony, swing, and coordination at multiple levels. At the time scale of a bar, gestures are …

When two people move in synchrony, they become more social. Yet it is not clear how this
effect scales up to larger numbers of people. Does a group need to move in unison to …

Spontaneous social coordination has been extensively described in natural settings but so
far no controlled methodological approaches have been employed that systematically …

Interpersonal synchrony is a foundation of social interaction. However, as a form of
coordination, synchrony is limited to regular, rhythmic actions. As such, research regarding …

This chapter examines how the dynamics of social coordination and joint-action are defined
by the symmetries, asymmetries and symmetry-breaking events of environmentally situated …

Much work on communication and joint action conceptualizes interaction as a dynamical
system. Under this view, dynamic properties of interaction should be shaped by the context …
