DESCRIPTION:For thousands of years\, human beings across the globe have ga
 thered in groups to sing\, chant\, and dance together. Keeping in time wit
 h others inspires affiliative and prosocial behaviour\, and promotes group
  cohesion. These effects might be due to perceptions of similarity towards
  synchronised others\, as well as a general sense that the environment is 
 a safe place for prosocial exchanges. In this context\, joint engagement i
 n rhythmic actions may also change people’s expectations of others’ be
 haviour in the moral domain. In particular\, individuals might expect sync
 hronous others to be more trustworthy\, caring\, and fair than asynchronou
 s others. This talk explores the effects of group synchrony on social vari
 ables\, and explores the ways in which keeping together in time may alter 
 people’s judgments about others’ moral character.
