Conversation Analysis and Psychotherapy: Identifying Transformative Sequences (2019, background): “…these developments, it needs to be acknowledged that in “non-CA” interaction research, the exploration of the uses of the body in therapeutic settings has been more intensive and detailed than in CA thus far (see, e.g., Lavelle, Healey, & McCabe, 2014; Ramseyer & Tschacher, 2011; Scheflen, 1973).”
The antecedents and consequences of human behavioral mimicry. (2013, background): “Subsequent research has also demonstrated, consistent with the earlier work of Bernieri and colleagues, that true therapist-client interactions are more synchronous than pseudointeractions (Ramseyer & Tschacher 2011).”
From Mind Perception to Mental Connection: Synchrony as a Mechanism for Social Understanding (2012, background): “Those who coordinate their actions have greater ties to community (McNeill, 1995), are perceived as and form social units (Lakens, 2010; Marsh, Johnston, Richardson, & Schmidt, 2009; Wiltermuth & Heath, 2009), and report greater ‘‘liking’’ (Bernieri, 1988; Ramseyer & Tschacher, 2011).”
Why interpersonal dominance and affiliation matter: an interaction analysis of the coach-client relationship (2013, background): “This is also in line with the idea that mutual trust and understanding are easier to achieve, if coach and client have similar personal characteristics or if behavioural differences are reduced (e.g. Boyce et al., 2004; Ramseyer & Tschacher, 2011).”
Measuring the Dynamics of Interactional Synchrony (2012, neutral): “A similar method has been used to evaluate the degree of synchrony in the social interactions of schizophrenics (Kupper et al. 2010; Ramseyer and Tschachter 2011).”
Interpersonal Synchrony: A Survey of Evaluation Methods across Disciplines (2012, background): “Many studies capture the global movements of the participants [95], [73], [96], [77], [33], [97], [98], [99], [54], [100], [101], [102].”
Interpersonal Coordination Dynamics in Psychotherapy: A Systematic Review (2020, background): “Coordination in bodily movements occurred quite robustly in the included studies with both global upper bodily movements (Ramseyer and Tschacher 2011) as well as head and hand movements showing evidence of synchronization between patient and therapist (Ramseyer and Tschacher 2014, 2016).”
