The theory behind this phenomenon is known as 'embodied cognition' –– the mind is not only connected to the body but that the body influences the mind –– which, while arguably intuitive to lay people, has been controversial in scientific circles.
The theory behind this phenomenon is known as "embodied cognition" –– the mind is not only connected to the body but that the body influences the mind –– which, while arguably intuitive to lay people, has been controversial in scientific circles.To investigate, psychologist Wolfgang Tschacher and colleagues observed 132 audience members across three classical concerts.
Individuals who rated more highly for personality traits such as openness were more likely to synchronise, while those with neurotic dispositions were less likely to align. The authors used overhead cameras and wearable sensors to monitor the participants, who filled in questionnaires about their personalities before the concert, whether they enjoyed the performance and what their mood was afterwards.
The cameras even caught alignment of body movements, which the authors wrote"appears noteworthy, as the audiences of all concerts were seated in dimmed lighting" and spread out due to the pandemic.As one might expect, people whose personality types indicated"openness to new experiences" and"agreeableness" were more disposed towards synchronizing with others.
