“…For example, Washburn et al (2014) collected body movement data in dance settings and found that trained dancers' WTC was significantly higher than that of non-dancers, indicating that dancers achieved a higher level of rhythmic coordination with their partners. WTC has also been applied to extract rhythmic convergence in a face-to-face, unstructured conversation (Fujiwara and Daibo 2016;Issartel et al 2015;Schmidt et al 2014). Fujiwara and Daibo (2016) observed significantly higher WTC values among genuine pairs who were engaged in actual conversation than among a pseudo pair that produced virtual data.…”

“…The proportion of relative phase in nine 20° regions from 0° to 180° was also calculated. Following previous studies (e.g., Schmidt et al 2012), the region of 0°-20° was defined as in-phase patterning and the region of 160°-180° was defined as anti-phase patterning, and we targeted the area where the cross-wavelet spectrum was significant (Issartel et al 2015).…”

Rhythmic Features of Movement Synchrony for Bonding Individuals in Dyadic Interaction

This study examined ways in which rhythmic features of movement contribute to bonding between individuals. Though previous studies have described synchrony as a form of social glue, this research extends those findings to consider the impact of fast versus slow tempo on movement synchrony. This two-part experiment examined dyadic interactions as they occurred between same-sex strangers (Study 1) and friends (Study 2). Participants were video-recorded as they engaged in 5-or 6-min chats, and synchrony was evaluated using wavelet transform via calculations of cross-wavelet coherence. Study 1 employed regression commonality analysis and hierarchical linear modeling and found that among various frequency bands, rapport between individuals was positively associated with synchrony under 0.025 Hz (i.e., slower than once every 40 s) and 0.5-1.5 Hz (i.e., once every 0.67-2 s). On the contrary, Study 2 determined that synchrony of 0.5-1.5 Hz was not impactful among friend dyads and only predictive of the motivation to cultivate a friendly relationship during interactions with strangers. These results indicate the existence of a distinctive rhythm for bonding individuals, and the role of pre-existing friendship as a moderator of the bonding effect of synchrony. However, the role of relative phase (i.e., timing of movement; same versus opposite timing) remains unclear, as the ratio of in-and anti-phase patterning had no significant influence on perceived rapport and motivation to develop relationships. On the basis of the research results, a theoretical contribution is proposed to the study of interpersonal coordination.

“…Following previous studies (Schmidt et al, 2012), the region of 0°-20°was defined as "in-phase patterning", while the region of 160°-180°was defined as "antiphase patterning". Since it was difficult to determine which frequency band should be focused on to extract the relative phase, the area in which the WTC was statistically significant was the subject of focus (Issartel, Bardainne, Gaillot, & Marin, 2015); the statistical significance level of the WTC was estimated using Monte Carlo methods (Grinsted et al, 2004). In this area, the number of occurrences in each 20°region was counted and the percentage distribution was calculated for each pair.…”

Although previous studies have reported that individual prosocial traits generally enhance synchrony, gender as a social factor was not the subject of focus. The present study examined gender differences in synchrony by conducting three experiments on dyadic unstructured conversations with same‐gender strangers. Synchrony was assessed by calculating the cross‐wavelet coherence and determining the relative phase. As expected, through the three experiments, the female dyads showed a higher degree of synchrony, compared to the male dyads. Moreover, the conversation type (i.e., structured monologue vs. unstructured dialogue) did not moderate the gender effect (Experiment 2), while synchrony in the female dyads was influenced by the preceding conversation (Experiment 3). In contrast, through the three experiments, the role of the relative phase was unclear. The findings indicate that the social factor, gender, has an impact on synchrony, and that interpersonal sensitivity contributes to synchrony.

“…Attractive faces were detected even at a relatively more peripheral location (i.e., 10˚of eccentricity from fixation), though the ability to perceive attractiveness for the same faces decreased (but still better than chance). Both beauty and cuteness appear to be detectable in peripheral vision, though the ability to judge cuteness may decline more in peripheral vision than for judging face beauty [41]. Thus, these few studies suggest that LSF information may be sufficient to appraise attractiveness and that important cues may be contained within the lower spatial frequencies and not confined to a specific higher SF band.…”

Filtered beauty in Oslo and Tokyo: A spatial frequency analysis of facial attractiveness

et al. 2020

Images of European female and male faces were digitally processed to generate spatial frequency (SF) filtered images containing only a narrow band of visual information within the Fourier spectrum. The original unfiltered images and four SF filtered images (low, mediumlow, medium-high and high) were then paired in trials that kept constant SF band and face gender and participants made a forced-choice decision about the more attractive among the two faces. In this way, we aimed at identifying those specific SF bands where forced-choice preferences corresponded best to forced-choice judgements made when viewing the natural, broadband, facial images. We found that aesthetic preferences dissociated across SFs and face gender, but similarly for participants from Asia (Japan) and Europe (Norway). Specifically, preferences when viewing SF filtered images were best related to the preference with the broadband face images when viewing the highest filtering band for the female faces (about 48-77 cycles per face). In contrast, for the male faces, the medium-low SF band (about 11-19 cpf) related best to choices made with the natural facial images. Eye tracking provided converging evidence for the above, gender-related, SF dissociations. We suggest greater aesthetic relevance of the mobile and communicative parts for the female face and, conversely, of the rigid, structural, parts for the male face for facial aesthetics.
