Abstract

It has been found that interpersonal synchronization leads to more closeness, mutual coordination, alliance, or affiliation between the synchronized persons. Such literature reveals a pathway from interpersonal interaction to interpersonal synchronisation to interpersonal affiliation. If persons act on temporal patterns of synchrony, this suggests that they possess a facility to detect such patterns. Therefore in this paper the assumption was made that persons indeed detect when temporal patterns of synchrony occur and from such detection a stronger affiliation or connection may grow. By multiple simulation experiments for stochastic stimuli from the environment, it was found that indeed several expected types of patterns are reproduced computationally. In the informal scientific meeting Face2Face: Advancing the Science of Social Interaction at the Royal Society in London (April 4-5, 2022), a poster about this paper was presented (https://www.researchgate.net/publication/358964043). After this paper was finished and submitted to JCRAI'22 in early March 2022, further research was performed addressing the interplay of subjective synchrony detection with short-term affiliation and long-term bonding (https://www.researchgate.net/publication/361355421), the use of time lags for subjective synchrony detection (https://www.researchgate.net/publication/362809655), and the role of detected transitions of synchrony for behavioural adaptivity (https://www.researchgate.net/publication/361435085).
