先前的研究已经证明，与其他人同步的动作可以影响对他们的亲和行为。虽然研究主要集中在与视觉观察到的运动同步，但与听到的伴侣同步可能会产生类似的效果。我们复制的研究结果表明，同步可以影响评级的合作伙伴的可爱性，但证明这是可能的虚拟互动，涉及一个视频的合作伙伴。参与者执行指示同步时间的声音，而不是另一个人的可观察到的行动。结果显示，显着更高的收视率的可爱的合作伙伴后，在同一时间移动的声音归因于该合作伙伴，相比，在声音之间移动。客观量化的同步性也与受欢迎程度相关。相信声音是由另一个人在实验2中操纵，结果表明，当声音归因于计算机，评级的可爱性不受移动的时间。这些发现表明，在没有真正的人际接触的情况下，与声音的互动可以被体验为社会互动，这可能有助于解释为什么人们喜欢参与录制的音乐。
Previous studies have demonstrated that synchronising movements with other people can influence affiliative behaviour towards them. While research has focused on synchronisation with visually observed movement, synchronisation with a partner who is heard may have similar effects. We replicate findings showing that synchronisation can influence ratings of likeability of a partner, but demonstrate that this is possible with virtual interaction, involving a video of a partner. Participants performed instructed synchrony in time to sounds instead of the observable actions of another person. Results show significantly higher ratings of likeability of a partner after moving at the same time as sounds attributed to that partner, compared with moving in between sounds. Objectively quantified synchrony also correlated with ratings of likeability. Belief that sounds were made by another person was manipulated in Experiment 2, and results demonstrate that when sounds are attributed to a computer, ratings of likeability are not affected by moving in or out of time. These findings demonstrate that interaction with sound can be experienced as social interaction in the absence of genuine interpersonal contact, which may help explain why people enjoy engaging with recorded music.
