シンクロする人々：個人間の身体的同期に関する解析手法のレビュー

抄録

This study systematically reviewed analyses for interpersonal behavioral synchronization, which is widely observed in human communication. Synchronization analyses have been developed based on theoretical backgrounds such as social psychology, cognitive approach, and dynamical systems approach. The types of methods and their targets are diverse, and a systematic summary has not been sufficiently conducted. Summarizing these methods can help clarify the salient features of each method and consider the applicability to various phenomena. Based on existing literature, this study introduced six representative methods from their historical backgrounds, calculations, and targets (Cross-Correlation Analysis, Cross Wavelet Transform, Relative Phase Analysis, Cross Recurrence Quantification Analysis, Causality Analysis, and Complexity Matching Analysis). We then summarized each method along three axes: the data characteristics, the approach relied upon, and the phenomenon/task to be investigated. Then, based on the features of each method, we discussed the future direction and the domains or topics of possible applications.
