Abstract

Improvisation is a natural occurring phenomenon that is central to social interaction. Yet, improvisation is an understudied area in group processes and intergroup relations. Here we build on theory and research about human herding to study the contributions of improvisation on group efficacy and its biobehavioral underpinnings. We employed a novel multimodal approach and integrative method when observing face‐to‐face interactions—51 triads (total N = 153) drummed together in spontaneous‐free improvisations as a group, while their electrodermal activity was monitored simultaneously with their second‐by‐second rhythmic coordination on a shared electronic drum machine. Our results show that three hypothesized factors of human herding—physiological synchrony, behavioral coordination, and emotional contagion—predict a sense of group efficacy in its group members. These findings are some of the first to show herding at three levels (physiological, behavioral, and mental) in a single study and lay a basis for understanding the role of improvisation in social interaction.

TL;DR

In 48 triads who improvised together on electronic drums, group efficacy was predicted by higher individual emotional contagion, higher behavioral drumming coordination, and lower group electrodermal activity (EDA) synchrony. EDA synchrony during improvisation was greater than chance, supporting herding across physiological, behavioral, and mental levels.

Key findings

  • EDA synchrony during improvised drumming was significantly greater than random pairings: real data M = 0.47, SD = 0.45 vs. random M = 0.29, SD = 0.37; Kolmogorov–Smirnov p = 4.28 × 10⁻⁵.
  • In a linear mixed model predicting group efficacy, significant predictors were emotional contagion (estimate = 0.40, SE = 0.18, p = .03), drumming coordination (estimate = 0.001, SE = 0.001, p = .01), and lower group EDA synchrony (estimate = −0.80, SE = 0.37, p = .04).
  • Group efficacy was positively correlated with emotional contagion (r = .17, p = .041); group-level drumming coordination and EDA synchrony were not significantly correlated (r = −.01, p = .994).
  • Group BPM did not predict group efficacy (estimate = 0.005, SE = 0.004, p = .19) but did predict self-reported group synchrony (estimate = 0.009, SE = 0.003, p < .01), adding 18% variance above behavioral coordination (r² change = .18, F change = 12.67, p < .001); group-level IBI synchrony did not impact the group-efficacy model (estimate = 0.20, SE = 0.68, p = .77).

Methods

  • 51 triads (total N = 153) of Bar-Ilan University undergraduate psychology students were recruited; after exclusions, final analyses used 144 participants (32 men) in 48 groups. Participants completed a 5-min baseline, then improvised together on electronic drums for 4 min without a beat or talking, while EDA was recorded simultaneously.
  • Measures included EDA synchrony (cross-correlation of each dyad with ±3 s lag, averaged to group level), behavioral drumming coordination (all three members hitting within a 30-ms window, derived from MIDI data), trait emotional contagion, and a four-item group-efficacy scale; in-group agreement indices were ICC1 = 0.086, ICC2 = 0.877, rWG = 0.795.
  • Main analysis was a linear mixed model with group efficacy as the dependent variable and group-level EDA synchrony, individual trait emotional contagion, and group-level drumming coordination as predictors, controlling for prior structured-task condition and musical knowledge; additional models tested BPM and IBI synchrony.

Limitations

  • The paper states that the relationship between multimodal synchronies is complex and not fully understood, that EDA synchrony and drumming coordination were uncorrelated, and that future studies are needed to address these questions.
  • The paper states that heart-rate synchrony did not significantly impact group efficacy during improvisation, contrasting prior structured-drumming findings, and offers outcome-dependent and task-dependent explanations that require further validation.
  • Evident from the text: the sample was undergraduate psychology students at one university, predominantly women (32 men among 144 participants), with low prior familiarity and low musical knowledge; expert musicians were excluded, and the laboratory drumming improvisation may not generalize to other social interactions.

    The Introduction describes improvisation as understudied and gives examples of physiological-synchrony research involving group activities. The Discussion contrasts this study’s free improvisation with a structured synchrony task in the authors’ earlier work. These passages support the contrast, but do not establish that much existing IPS research explicitly instructs participants to perform a social task. (LLM, conf=0.77)

  • ICC2 is incompatible with ICC1 and the group size

    Major

    The paper reports three participants per group. With groups of three, the reported ICC1 of 0.086 implies ICC2 = (3 × 0.086)/(1 + 2 × 0.086) ≈ 0.220, not 0.877. This affects the stated evidence for agreement among group members.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Claims read by deepseek-v4.1-flash under definition version 3 (extract-v3) on 2026-10-10.

Classified by jev-1.13-20260917 (gold-guideline-v0.2) on 2026-10-10.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
