What this study supports
Supports the claim that interpersonal synchrony had a medium effect on prosocial attitudes and behaviour, moderated by experimenter effects and intentionality. Laboratory experiments with short-term outcomes.
- Who was studied
- 60 published and unpublished experiments comparing an interpersonal synchrony condition with at least one control condition.
- Design
- Meta-analysis
- Level of evidence
- Syntheses of controlled studies: meta-analyses and systematic reviews of experiments and trials.
Claims that rest on it
Each claim states what the site asserts, at what strength, and with what caveat.
EmpiricalLevel AConfidence MODERATE
A meta-analysis of 60 experiments found a medium effect of interpersonal synchrony on prosocial attitudes and behaviour, moderated by experimenter effects and intentionality.
- Scope
- Laboratory experiments comparing synchrony with control conditions.
- Caveat
- Short-term outcomes; moderation by experimenter effects means part of the effect depends on how studies were run.
