This study aims to investigate how naturally occurring social dynamics in a real-world group interaction relate to participants' personality traits and their expressed liking for one another. Participants will attend data collection sessions in groups of approximately 10-15 individuals, engaging in a structured series of ice-breaker games and social interaction tasks. Throughout these activities, their body movements will be continuously recorded using head-worn wearable accelerometers. For each dyad (pair of participants), we will quantify their movement coordination (interpersonal synchrony) using wavelet coherence analysis of the accelerometer data. Prior to the in-person session, participants will complete a battery of questionnaires assessing personality and other individual traits. Immediately following the session, they will provide ratings of liking for each group member they interacted with. Data collection will span five experimental sessions, each composed of approximately 10-15 individuals previously unacquainted with one another. The sample will consist of students enrolled in undergraduate or postgraduate programmes at University College London (UCL). To be eligible, individuals must be healthy, over 18 years of age, fluent in English, free from any major vision, hearing, or movement disabilities that could impair their participation, and able to attend the session in person. This study has received ethical approval from the UCL Research Ethics Committee (Approval ID: ICN-VW-24-03-2024A). The in-person data collection will take place at a spacious seminar room within the Institute of Cognitive Neuroscience, London. Movement data will be captured using head-worn mBient sensors, which are equipped with built-in accelerometers. Each session, lasting approximately 50 minutes, will be structured into four distinct parts: (1) whole-group activities, (2) team-based games, where participants are divided into two teams, (3) paired conversations, where participants are matched with a member from the opposing team for two rounds of discussion, and (4) a final mingling activity, where participants can move freely, interact, and enjoy snacks provided. Behavioural and trait data collection will follow a four-step sequence. Steps 1 and 2 will occur prior to the in-person experimental session. Step 1 involves participants completing demographic questions during the recruitment phase. Step 2 comprises the completion of individual trait questionnaires: - Personality: 20-item Big Five Inventory (BFI) - Social Anxiety: Liebowitz Social Anxiety Scale (LSAS) - Attachment Styles: Relationship Questionnaire (RQ) - Autism: Autism Spectrum Quotient (AQ) - ADHD: Adult ADHD Self-Report Scale (ASRS-v1.1) - A new cultural homophily questionnaire, which we are piloting An acquaintance check will also be administered in this step to ensure participants assigned to the same session are not previously friends. After Step 2, participants attend the in-person data collection at UCL as described above. Then step 3 will take place immediately after data collection, where participants respond to liking question (“How much did you feel like you connected with this person?”) about each individual in the session, displayed alongside that person’s name and photo. They are also asked whether they wish the research team to share their contact details (yes/no). If both participants chose “yes,” the research team will exchange their details after the session. Step 4 will be a follow-up approximately two weeks later, involving questions about any continued contact or developing relationships with other participants from the session. This study primarily aims to replicate previous exploratory findings regarding the interplay between individual traits, trait homophily, interpersonal synchrony, and liking. Analyses will be conducted at both individual and dyadic levels. Research Questions: Individual level: 1. Do individual traits predict an individual's overall propensity to synchronise with others (personal-level synchrony)? 2. Do personal-level synchrony and individual traits predict an individual's general tendency to be liked by others (popularity) and their general tendency to like others (affinity)? Dyadic level: 1. Does homophily in personality traits predict the level of interpersonal synchrony observed within that dyad? 2. Do interpersonal synchrony, shared context (team/pair membership), and trait homophily predict the level of mutual liking reported within dyads? 3. Does interpersonal synchrony mediate the relationship between personality homophily and mutual liking?
