From distal to proximal to interactive: behavioral and brain synchrony during attraction, courtship, and sexual interaction—implications for clinical assessments of relationship style and quality
Original language description
Introduction: Synchronous behaviors between individuals are nonverbal signs of closeness and common purpose. In the flow from initialattraction to intimate sexual interaction, attention and synchrony move from distal to proximal to interactive and are mediated by sensitizedactivation of neural systems for sexual motivation, arousal, and desire and those that recognize and mimic common facial and body movementsbetween individuals. When reinforced by sexual pleasure and other relationship rewards, this results in the strengthening of attraction andbonding and the display of more common motor patterns. As relationships falter, nonverbal behaviors likely become asynchronous.Objectives: To define behavioral, romantic, and sexual synchrony during phases of attraction and how their disruption can be observed andutilized by clinicians to assess individual relationship styles and quality.Methods: We review the literature on behavioral and attentional synchrony in humans and animals in an effort to understand experiential andinnate mechanisms of synchrony and asynchrony and how they develop, as well as implications for attraction, relationship initiation, maintenanceof romantic and sexual closeness, and relationship disintegration.Results: Evidence is presented that behavioral synchrony and the neural mechanisms that underlie it are vital to relationship formation andsatisfaction.Conclusion: Behavioral synchrony helps to create feelings of sexual and romantic synergy, cohesion, and arousal among individuals. Asynchronyis aversive and can spark feelings of discontent, aversion, and jealousy. Thus, observing patterns of nonverbal sexual and romantic synchronybetween individuals offers insights into the potential quality of their relationships.
