The Coordination-Rapport Link, Revisited
Rapport signals closeness in relationships. Despite the accumulation of research findings, nonverbal correlates of rapport are not always consistent across studies due to the gestalt nature of rapport experiences. Given that rapport exists only in interaction between individuals, this study examined not specific nonverbal cues, but rather nonrandom and synchronized nonverbal dynamics between interlocutors, i.e., interpersonal coordination. To pro…
A Multimethod Assessment of Spontaneous Behavioral Synchrony in Race- and Age-Concordant Versus Discordant Dyads
This work examines the impact of race and age concordance on behavioral synchrony and self-reported rapport in social interactions, employing a multimethod approach across three studies ( N total = 450) and a mini meta-analysis. Behavioral synchrony was assessed with reliable human coders and OpenPose, and rapport was measured through self-reports. Results indicated that race- and age-concordant dyads exhibited significantly greater behavioral sy…
Introducing the Facial Expressions of Emotion Decoding Test with Various Intensity ( Feet ‐I)
This article introduces the Facial Expressions of Emotion decoding Test with various Intensity (FEET‐I)—using the AIST Facial Expression Database 2017. Study 1 aimed to develop the FEET‐I, and the facial stimuli were created by manipulating emotion intensities of Japanese stimuli from the AIST Facial Expression Database 2017 (Fujimura & Umemura, 2018). In Experiment 1a, 114 facial stimuli were selected based on the percentage of correct responses…
Satisfaction with cultural attractions
Cultural attractions such as enjoying local performing arts or local cuisines are important components of cultural tourism. This study shows the influence of tourists’ regulatory focus on the satisfaction of cultural attractions. In addition, the study examines the interaction effect of tourists’ regulatory focus and cultural attractions’ interpretation tools on satisfaction. The result shows that promotion-focused people experience higher satisf…
The association between synchrony and intellectual productivity in a group discussion
In recent years, multi-person meeting formats such as brainstorming sessions and hackathons have become prevalent in numerous workplaces. Despite the introduction of several effective methods and guidelines for these meeting formats, optimal performance is not always attained, even when utilizing such methods and guidelines. There has been active research to support intellectual production activities, and there is a demand to establish a quantita…
A socio‐ecological context moderates the association between communication skills and friendship satisfaction
Good communication skills facilitate successful interpersonal relationships. However, the specific communication skills (encoding and decoding) required for establishing friendships can vary depending on aspects of the social context. We conducted a two‐wave longitudinal study in Japan to investigate the adaptive value of communication skills in different socio‐ecological contexts (i.e., different stages of university life). New college students …
Facial Mimicry in Unstructured Dyadic Interactions
Facial mimicry, known as the tendency to imitate other individuals' facial muscular movements, is key to establishing successful interpersonal relationships. Studies on various cultures have confirmed this tendency, suggesting that facial mimicry is a universal behavioral pattern in interpersonal communication. However, its cross‐cultural variability is expected because of the influence of cultural norms regarding facial expressions. By focusing …
The Influence of Emotional Facial Expression Intensity on Decoding Accuracy
This study examined the relationship between the intensity of emotional expressions in facial stimuli and receivers' decoding accuracy for six basic emotions: anger, disgust, fear, happiness, sadness, and surprise. A laboratory experiment was conducted using the forced‐choice method, in which the intensity of each stimulus was manipulated at every 10% interval using the morphing technique. To explore whether a linear relationship would be observe…
What Makes a Movement Human‐Like
With the advancement of AI‐generated human motion, it is of increasing importance to think about how we distinguish real human motion from machine‐generated movements. In this study, we recruited professional performers to use the whole body to make a short movement to inform potential observers that they are real humans (instead of machines). Their movements were captured with a motion capture system (Vicon) and later reduced to dynamic point‐li…
Truth-tellers' and liars' synchrony during attitude-inconsistent conversations
The recently-proposed strategic synchrony hypothesis holds that deceivers (more than truth-tellers) use nonverbal synchrony as a way to maintain their credibility and the smooth flow of interactions. However, important questions remain as to how an interaction partner's behavior and the topic of interaction qualify the strategic synchrony hypothesis. This study considered whether naïve participants (i.e., truth-tellers and deceivers) synchronize …
Using Virtual Reality to Improve the Quality of Life of Older Adults with Cognitive Impairments and their Family Members who Live at a Distance
This study examines whether using virtual reality (VR) with older adults with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) or mild to moderate dementia with a family member who lives at a distance can improve the quality of life of the older adult and the family member. Twenty-one older adults in a senior living community and a family member (who participated in the VR with the older adult from a distance) engaged in a baseline telephone call, followed by thr…
Synchrony facilitates altruistic decision making for non-human avatars
Synchrony is a natural part of human interaction and is often associated with a variety of prosocial outcomes including affinity and rapport. The purpose of this research was to examine whether human negotiators would synchronize their movements when working with non-human avatars and if so, whether that would affect their perceptions of their negotiations. Results suggest that participants synchronized their movements with the movements of non-h…
Nonverbal Synchrony in Technology-Mediated Interviews

Empathic accuracy and interpersonal coordination
The study considered two major facets of interpersonal coordination, namely, behavior matching (posture mirroring) and interactional synchrony, and investigated whether interpersonal coordination enhanced empathic accuracy. Interactional synchrony was further classified into simultaneous movement and interaction rhythms. Participants engaged in an eight-minute conversation with a same-gender unacquainted partner and an empathic accuracy task. Eac…
Comparing Manual and Automated Coding Methods of Nonverbal Synchrony
The manual coding of nonverbal cues by trained human coders, such as counting the occurrence of a specific behavior or subjective rating about a speaker, is still a major method in the study of nonverbal synchrony. However, its time-consuming nature has been a serious barrier to the development of the field and has made it difficult for new scholars to adopt the technique. Recent advances in automated coding techniques allow researchers to collec…
Gender differences in synchrony
Although previous studies have reported that individual prosocial traits generally enhance synchrony, gender as a social factor was not the subject of focus. The present study examined gender differences in synchrony by conducting three experiments on dyadic unstructured conversations with same‐gender strangers. Synchrony was assessed by calculating the cross‐wavelet coherence and determining the relative phase. As expected, through the three exp…
