Thus, we consider whether entrainment may be a tool to support positive social outcomes, such that those who are dissimilar in EQ may "ground" their interaction with low-level movement entrainment. 🧵4/4

We found that, for both head and hand movements, greater differences in EQ scores were associated with greater entrainment. However, There was no significant relationship between f0 entrainment and EQ score differences. 🧵3/4
There are two scatterplots. The scatterplot to the left shows that, with greater partner differences in EQ scores, the conversational partners demonstrate greater hand movement similarity. The scatterplot to the right shows that, with greater partner differences in EQ scores, the conversational partners demonstrate greater head movement similarity.

We used dynamic time warping to measure entrainment of head motion between speakers, and hand motion between speakers, and we calculated maximum f0 difference between interlocutors in question-response sequences. We further measured partner differences in Empathy Quotient (EQ) scores. 🧵2/4
Two people sit opposite one another, one on the left (Speaker A), one on the right (Speaker B). Below them are two graphs. The left graph depicts dynamic time warping of the speakers' head and hand movements. The right graph depicts the calculation of the difference in maximum fundamental frequency between the two speakers.
