A Motion Capture Study to Measure the Feeling of Synchrony in Romantic Couples and in Professional Musicians

摘要: The feeling of synchrony is fundamental for most social activities and prosocial behaviors. However, little known about the behavioral correlates this its modulation by intergroup differences. We previously showed that subjective in subjects involved a mirror imitation task was modulated objective measures, as well contextual factors such difficulty duration performance. In present study, we extended our methodology to investigate possible interindividual hypothesized being romantic relationship or professional musician can modulate both implicit explicit synchronization ability detect from third person perspective. Contrary hypothesis, did not find significant differences between people control subjects. observed musicians For (spontaneous during walking), results revealed had never met before spontaneously synchronized their movements earlier among themselves than subjects, but better sharing relationship. Moreover, tasks (mirror game), reported less speed errors This interaction with these appeared only intermediate difficulty. Finally, when judge perspective, performance identify if they were videos. Taken together, suggest play role underlying mechanisms.
