Synchronization has recently received attention as a form of interpersonal interaction that may affect the affiliative relationships of those engaged in it. While there is evidence to suggest that synchronized movements lead to increased affiliative behavior (Hove & Risen, 2009; Valdesolo & DeSteno, 2011; Wiltermuth & Heath, 2009), the influence of other interpersonal cues has yet to be fully controlled. The current study controls for these features by using computer algorithms to replace human partners. By removing genuine interpersonal interaction, it also tests whether sounds alone can influence affiliative relationships, when it appears that another human agent has triggered those sounds. Results suggest that subjective experience of synchrony had a positive effect on a measure of trust, but task success was a similarly good predictor. An objective measure of synchrony was only related to trust in conditions where participants were instructed to move at the same time as stimuli.
同步作为一种人际互动形式，近来受到关注，它可能会影响参与其中的人的亲密关系。虽然有证据表明同步运动会导致亲密行为增加（霍夫和里森，2009年；瓦尔德索洛和德斯特诺，2011年；威尔特穆特和希思，2009年），但其他人际线索的影响尚未得到充分控制。当前的研究通过使用计算机算法取代人类伙伴来控制这些因素。通过消除真实的人际互动，该研究还测试了仅声音是否能影响亲密关系，前提是这些声音似乎是由另一个人类引发的。结果表明，同步的主观体验对信任度有积极影响，但任务成功同样是一个很好的预测指标。只有在参与者被指示与刺激同时行动的条件下，同步的客观测量才与信任相关。
