Objective: In this proof-of-principle study, a convenience sample of 55 dyadic psychotherapy sessions conducted by one therapist was analyzed. This study aimed at exploring physiological synchrony in naturalistic and the association such with self-report ratings. Methods: The electrocardiograms respiration behavior both client were monitored simultaneously. Four clients included, session outcome documented reports two clients. From electrocardiograms, heart rate variability derived...
Abstract A study of 132 audience members three classical public concerts (all staged the same chamber music pieces by Ludwig van Beethoven, Brett Dean, and Johannes Brahms) had goal analyzing physiological motor responses audiences. It was assumed that would induce synchronous physiology movement in listeners (induction synchrony). In addition to hypothesizing such synchronies be present, we expected they were linked participants’ aesthetic experiences, their affect personality traits, which...
Abstract The degree to which romantic partners' autonomic responses are coordinated, represented by their pattern of physiological synchrony, seems capture important aspects the reciprocal influence and co‐regulation between spouses. In this study, we analyzed couple's cardiac synchrony as measured heart rate (HR) variability (HRV). A sample 27 couples ( N = 54) performed a structured interaction task in lab where they discussed positive negative relationship. During interaction, measures...
Listening modes are often ignored in music perception research, especially when it comes to the supposedly attentive listening situation of a classical concert. The audience members’ various ways listening, understood as directedness activity toward different dimensions sound, is hypothesized play key role experience live music. We assessed participants ( N = 786) attending series experimental concerts. Exploratory factor analysis (EFA) revealed following five modes: emotional-immersive,...

Based on close observations a school playground, book shows children at relatively natural, unstructured environment. The reader virtually there, seeing, listening in, able to...
Measuring interpersonal synchrony is a promising approach to assess the complexity of social interaction, which however has been mostly limited dyads. In this study, we introduce multivariate Surrogate Synchrony (mv-SUSY) extend current set computational methods. Methods: mv-SUSY was applied eight datasets consisting 10 time series each, all with n = 9600 observations. Datasets 1 5 consist simulated following characteristics: white noise (dataset 1), non-stationarity linear trends 2),...
Abstract Objective A large body of literature discusses change mechanisms underlying psychotherapy with an emphasis on common factors. The present study examined how different comprehensive factors over the course therapy and whether this was associated clinical outcome at discharge. Method Three hundred forty‐eight adults (mean age = 32.1, SD 10.6; 64% female) attended a standardized 14‐week day‐clinic program. They provided longitudinal data based weekly assessments. Additionally, pre‐...
