行为的时间耦合是有效社会交换的基础，同步行动调节社会认知功能的核心组成部分。然而，关于这种形式的行为协调出现的确切条件仍然存在疑问。特别是，社会因素是否会调节人们与他人的动作同步的程度？鉴于同步性是建立人际联系的重要非语言途径，当前的研究考虑了情境影响是否会调节行为耦合的出现。为了探讨这个问题，记录了参与者与互动伙伴进行重复活动（即迈步）时的动作，该互动伙伴要么准时参加实验，要么迟到 15 分钟。结果显示，当参与者与迟到的伙伴互动时，协调性（即同相同步性）会大大降低，这一发现强调了社会因素对行为同步性自发出现的影响。版权所有 (C) 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
The temporal coupling of behavior serves as a foundation for effective social exchange with synchronized actions moderating core components of social-cognitive functioning. Questions remain, however, regarding the precise conditions under which this form of behavioral coordination emerges. In particular do social factors moderate the extent to which people synchronize their movements with others? Given that synchrony serves as an important non-verbal route through which interpersonal connections can be forged, the current investigation considered whether contextual influences moderate the emergence of behavioral coupling. To explore this issue, movements were recorded while participants performed a repetitive activity (i.e., stepping) with an interaction partner who either turned up for the experiment on time or was 15 minutes late. Results revealed that coordination (i.e., in-phase synchrony) was substantially reduced when participonts interacted with a tardy partner, a finding that highlights the impact that social factors exert on the spontaneous emergence of behavioral synchrony.
