Explain interactional synchrony and give an example.
What will be an ideal response?
- Interactional synchrony refers to relating by mirroring the posture or behavior of others or gesturing in sync with their communication patterns.
- Being nonverbally in synch with someone helps to establish rapport with another person.
* For example, sometimes we may find ourselves consciously gesturing in synch with someone's vocal pattern. Or, at other times, we may not be aware when our friends are folding their arms across their chests as we do, too.
- Student examples will vary.
