“…We come into contact with numerous people in our daily lives, some of whom are strangers with whom we walk side-by-sid, but others are friends or romantic partners with whom we share most of our personal lives. Physiological synchrony underlies some of the social affiliative processes that forges and maintains these relationships [11,[15][16][17][18]. It is therefore important to understand how the mere presence of others and our relationships with them affect us at the autonomic physiological level.…”

“…The function of physiological synchrony in positive as opposed to negative emotional states remains uncertain. There is naivete in the assumption that synchrony is only commonly associated with positive emotional states [11,[15][16][17][18] as numerous contradictory findings challenge the generality of this principle [19][20][21][22]. For instance, events that precipitate negative emotional states, such as couple conflict, have been found to synchronize HRV and to elevate inflammatory compounds [19].…”

The mere copresence of another person synchronizes physiological signals, but no study has systematically investigated the effects of the type of emotional state and the type of relationship in eliciting dyadic physiological synchrony. In this study, we investigated the synchrony of pairs of strangers, companions, and romantic partners while watching a series of video clips designed to elicit different emotions. Maximal cross-correlation of heart rate variability (HRV) was used to quantify dyadic synchrony. The findings suggest that an existing social relationship might reduce the predisposition to conform one's autonomic responses to a friend or romantic partner during social situations that do not require direct interaction.

“…Whatever the neurochemical mechanism, the influence of music on social bonding is well documented. Several studies have shown that movement synchrony alone promotes prosociality (Cirelli, 2018), with some finding positive effects on peer cooperation (e.g., Rabinowitch and Meltzoff, 2017). Reviewing the interpersonal effects of movement synchrony, Cross et al (2019) highlight deindividuation, where the sense of self is diluted and one comes to feel less separate from others.…”

Human Social Evolution: Self-Domestication or Self-Control?

et al. 2020

The self-domestication hypothesis suggests that, like mammalian domesticates, humans have gone through a process of selection against aggression-a process that in the case of humans was self-induced. Here, we extend previous proposals and suggest that what underlies human social evolution is selection for socially mediated emotional control and plasticity. In the first part of the paper we highlight general features of human social evolution, which, we argue, is more similar to that of other social mammals than to that of mammalian domesticates and is therefore incompatible with the notion of human self-domestication. In the second part, we discuss the unique aspects of human evolution and propose that emotional control and social motivation in humans evolved during two major, partially overlapping stages. The first stage, which followed the emergence of mimetic communication, the beginnings of musical engagement, and mimesis-related cognition, required socially mediated emotional plasticity and was accompanied by new social emotions. The second stage followed the emergence of language, when individuals began to instruct the imagination of their interlocutors, and to rely even more extensively on emotional plasticity and culturally learned emotional control. This account further illustrates the significant differences between humans and domesticates, thus challenging the notion of human self-domestication.

“…pro-social behavior is behavior that provides benefits for oneself and others. pro-social behavior is a human action that encourages social cohesion by benefiting social partners (Cirelli, 2018). The tendency of pro-social attitudes in humans has been shown since infancy (Eisenberg, 1982, Ross, 2017, Cirelli, 2018, Hammond, 2017, Enesco.C.S, et al, 2013.…”

The aim of this study is to describe the pro-social behavior of high grade elementary school students and the implications of guidance and counseling services. The study uses a quantitative approach with descriptive methods. The research subjects totaled 65 students as sample saturated. The research instrument used the scale of students' pro-social behavior. Data analysis was performed by calculating the average and standard deviation, so that the categorization was obtained. The results showed that pro-social behavior of children was in the high category owned by 50. 67% of students. Achievement of aspects of cooperative behavior is 70%, helping behavior is 80% and problem solving behavior is 63%. pro-social Increased pro-social behavior that occurs in students in the low category. Some high-level students are ready to face the skills needed in the distracting 4.0 era, while others are not ready, guidance and counseling services in the social field are needed to develop competency in pro-social behavior.
