Prosociality is essential in human interactions, characterized by voluntary behaviors aimed at benefiting others. Promoting such behaviors is indispensable for human relationships. Studies have demonstrated positive effects of interpersonal synchrony interventions through musical sessions. Some authors suggest that the joint creation of music facilitates prosocial behaviors (PB). This review aims to determine whether evidence supports the idea that participation in a musical interpersonal synchrony experience improves PB. A systematic review of 12 selected articles was conducted. The search was carried out in databases such as WoS, Scopus, PubMed, Dialnet, Elsevier, and Eric. Results indicate that music, as a tool, creates an optimal environment for mimesis and group participation, which can enhance prosociality. Controlling variables such as sample size, population type, measurement instruments, techniques, and session design is necessary for future research. It is concluded that interpersonal synchrony through music appears to improve prosociality, although more robust studies are required.
亲社会行为在人际互动中至关重要，其特点是旨在使他人受益的自愿行为。促进此类行为对人际关系不可或缺。研究表明，通过音乐活动进行人际同步干预具有积极效果。一些作者认为，共同创作音乐有助于亲社会行为（PB）。本综述旨在确定是否有证据支持参与音乐人际同步体验可改善亲社会行为这一观点。对12篇选定文章进行了系统综述。检索在诸如Web of Science（WoS）、Scopus、PubMed、Dialnet、爱思唯尔和教育资源信息中心（Eric）等数据库中进行。结果表明，音乐作为一种工具，为模仿和群体参与创造了最佳环境，可增强亲社会行为。未来研究有必要控制样本量、人群类型、测量工具、技术和活动设计等变量。结论是，尽管需要更有力的研究，但通过音乐实现的人际同步似乎能改善亲社会行为。
