Physiological synchrony between individuals contributes to romantic bonding and attractiveness. A study by researchers at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem found that greater synchrony with a partner can boost perceived attractiveness. The study measured both social physiological synchrony during dates and sensorimotor synchrony in a finger tapping task. Results showed that greater synchrony between individuals led to higher attractiveness ratings. The findings suggest that synchrony plays a significant role in mate selection and can have evolutionary and cognitive advantages. This research opens the door to further studies on the impact of physiological synchrony on romantic attraction.
