The antecedents and consequences of human behavioral mimicry. (2013, background): “…perceptions of similarity, feelings of closeness, and rapport with partners as well (Mazzurega et al. 2011; Paladino et al. 2010; Vacharkulksemsuk & Fredrickson 2012; Valdesolo et al. 2010; Wiltermuth 2012a,b), and can even positively impact the therapeutic process (Ramseyer & Tschacher 2011).”
Brain‐to‐brain synchrony in parent‐child dyads and the relationship with emotion regulation revealed by fNIRS‐based hyperscanning (2018, unknown): “On a behavioral level, it has been shown that rocking in synchrony enhanced the perceptual sensitivity to the motion of other entities and thereby increased success in a subsequent joint action task (Valdesolo et al., 2010).”
Convergence of speech rate in conversation predicts cooperation (2013, background): “For example, people who rocked synchronously in chairs, compared to controls that rocked asynchronously, were better able to subsequently coordinate their action on a collaborative task (Valdesolo et al., 2010).”
Moving in and out of synchrony: A concept for a new intervention fostering empathy through interactional movement and dance (2012, background): “Valdesolo, Ouyang, and De Steno (2010) performed a study involving synchronous whole-body movement when asking participants to rock in synchrony on rocking chairs, followed by a joint-action task.”
The role of prediction in social neuroscience (2012, background): “Synchronized movement promotes cooperative behavior (Wiltermuth and Heath, 2009) and the degree to which we perceive others as similar to ourselves (Valdesolo and Desteno, 2011) and the ability to pursue mutual goals together (Valdesolo et al., 2010), thereby also likely encouraging social cohesion.”
Synchronization in a goal-directed task: Human movement coordination with each other and robotic partners (2011, background): “It enhances perceptual sensitivity and thereby increases success in a joint action task [6].”
Psychological research on joint action: Theory and data (2011, background): “In a study by Valdesolo, Ouyang, and DeSteno (2010), two groups of participants rocked in rocking chairs.”
Synchrony and destructive obedience (2012, background): “This work has repeatedly found that common movement with others leads to a general pro-social orientation, such that people not only to behave more pro-socially toward those mimicking them but also toward people in general (Stel, Van Baaren, & Vonk, 2008 ; van Baaren, Holland, Kawakami, & van Knipp”
