Abstract

This study investigates the relationship between social and nonsocial synchrony and romantic attractiveness. Through an online experiment and a speed-dating experiment, the researchers found that induced physiological synchrony increases perceived attraction and that individual propensity for synchrony in both social and nonsocial tasks is correlated, with individuals demonstrating high synchrony across tasks ('Super Synchronizers') rated as more attractive.
