Does religion increase moral behavior (2015, background): “For example, having groups of individuals performing actions in synchrony — common among religions (as well as militaries and other tightly knit groups) — has been shown to increase feelings of within-group affiliation, fusion, trust, and cooperation [26–28].”
Synchrony as an Adaptive Mechanism for Large-Scale Human Social Bonding (2016, positive): “Synchronisation has, in the past few years, come under experimental investigation as a potential means by which humans can become more socially bonded with one another (Hove & Risen 2009; Wiltermuth & Heath 2009; Valdesolo & Desteno 2011; Launay et al. 2013).”
The antecedents and consequences of human behavioral mimicry. (2013, neutral): “F or p er so na l u se o nl y. for the experimenter (Hove & Risen 2009).”
Ritual increases children’s affiliation with in-group members☆ (2016, background): “…scripted, are frequently accompanied by normative or conventional language, and involve synchrony (i.e., coordinated movement matched in time (Bernieri & Rosenthal, 1991)) within groups (Hove & Risen, 2009; Kirschner & Tomasello, 2010; Marsh, Richardson, & Schmidt, 2009; Wiltermuth & Heath, 2009).”
Social Effects of Movement Synchrony: Increased Infant Helpfulness only Transfers to Affiliates of Synchronously Moving Partners (2016, background): “…condition therefore contained both tempo and phase misalignments between the movement of the infant and the experimenter, as is typically done in adult studies on the effects of synchronous movement (for example, see Hove & Risen, 2009; Valdesolo & Desteno, 2011; Wiltermuth & Heath, 2009).”
From Mind Perception to Mental Connection: Synchrony as a Mechanism for Social Understanding (2012, background): “As Hove and Risen (2009) have articulated, synchronized behavior comprises temporally coordinated movements, whether this involves the same actions (e.g., a marching band walking in stride) or different ones (e.g., members of an athletic team working in sync, players in an orchestra, conversational…”
Naturalizing joint action: A process-based approach (2012, background): “There should be more expressions of working together, feelings of solidarity, and so on (there is recent evidence that this is the case; Hove & Risen, 2009).”
Psychological research on joint action: Theory and data (2011, background): “Evidence for a causal link has been provided by Hove and Risen (2009). In their study, participants performed a tapping task next to another person, synchronizing their finger movement with a visual or auditory signal.”
Brain‐to‐brain synchrony in parent‐child dyads and the relationship with emotion regulation revealed by fNIRS‐based hyperscanning (2018, background): “Interpersonal synchronization has been postulated as an evolutionary adaptive mechanism of bond formation (Hove and Risen, 2009; Wheatley et al., 2012).”
Who syncs? Social motives and interpersonal coordination (2012, background): “Furthermore, research exploring the consequences of synchrony reveals that this form of coordination results in increased liking and rapport (Hove & Risen, 2009), blurs self-other boundaries (Miles, Nind, Henderson, & Macrae, 2010; Paladino, Mazzurega, Pavani, & Schubert, 2010), facilitates person…”
Synchrony and destructive obedience (2012, positive): “…synchrony with others increases feelings of group cohesion (Camilleri, 2002), social connectedness (Hove & Risen, 2009; Macrae, Duffy, Miles, & Lawrence, 2008; Marsh, Richardson, & Schmidt, 2009; Miles, Nind, Henderson, & Macrae, 2010; Schmidt &…”
