Why are we attracted to some people and not to others?
A new study finds that when a man and a woman synchronize their physiology and dynamically tune their behavior to one another during a first date, they are romantically and sexually attracted to one another.
Dyadic synchrony and attunement are dynamic temporal phenomena, which reflect how two people can co-regulate each-other's physiology and behavior. Co-regulation in close bonds is adaptive because it can contribute to regulatory stability for both partners, and can thus promote health and well-being. Thus, both physiological synchrony and behavioral attunement with a potential romantic partner could serve as indicators for successful bonding and thus promote initial sexual and romantic attraction.
The research was conducted in the Bonding Neuroscience Lab by Lior Zeevi, Nathalie klein-Sellle, Yuval Hart and Shir Atzil.
