Abstract
To examine the effect of asynchrony in a group singing paradigm, undergraduates sang in unison, in a round, or in asynchrony with three confederates. Participants perceived more rapport and “groupness” with confederates who sang in unison with them, compared to those confederates who sang in rounds or randomly.
