Blurred lines or clear boundaries? Synchrony and social dominance shape domain-specific self–other processing
Synchronous behaviour is widespread across social species and is a common feature of human social interaction. Prior research demonstrates that synchrony can alter self-other processing, yet findings are inconsistent, potentially due to task differences and individual variability. In this preregistered study (54 dyads), we examined whether synchronous finger tapping influences self-other cognition across three domains: episodic memory, source mem…
Scared together: Heart rate synchrony and social closeness in a high-intensity horror setting
Humans frequently seek fear-inducing entertainment in social settings, yet the influence of social dynamics on physiological and emotional responses to shared fear remains underexplored. In this field study, we examined physiological synchrony and subjective responses to a high-intensity horror setting at a haunted house attraction. Groups of visitors ( N = 347, aged 18-63 years) wore heart rate (HR) monitors and reported their emotional experien…
The role of reciprocity in dynamic interpersonal coordination of physiological rhythms
A central question in social cognition research is how people coordinate their bodily rhythms, and how important reciprocity of interaction is for interpersonal coordination. Previous research has primarily focused on interpersonal action coordination, which has been shown to be facilitated by mechanisms of prediction and mutual adaption. Recent research is beginning to show that people also coordinate their physiological rhythms (i.e., respirati…
Stress Response and Cognitive Performance Modulation in Classroom versus Natural Environments: A Quasi-Experimental Pilot Study with Children
Stress during childhood can have mental and somatic health influences that track throughout life. Previous research attributes stress-reducing effects to natural environments, but has mainly focused on adults and often following leisurely relaxation in natural environments. This pilot study explores the impact of natural environments on stress response during rest and mental load and cognitive performance in 47 children aged 10−12 years in a scho…
Autobiographical Memory in a Fire-Walking Ritual
Anthropological theories have discussed the effects of participation in high-arousal rituals in the formation of autobiographical memory; however, precise measurements for such effects are lacking. In this study, we examined episodic recall among participants in a highly arousing fire-walking ritual. To assess arousal, we used heart rate measurements. To assess the dynamics of episodic memories, we obtained reports immediately after the event and…
Synchronized arousal between performers and related spectators in a fire-walking ritual
Collective rituals are present in all known societies, but their function is a matter of long-standing debates. Field observations suggest that they may enhance social cohesion and that their effects are not limited to those actively performing but affect the audience as well. Here we show physiological effects of synchronized arousal in a Spanish fire-walking ritual, between active participants and related spectators, but not participants and ot…
