作者:

Highlights:

• This study employed a factorial experimental design with the setting of negotiation (integrative, distributive) manipulated.

• Participants (N = 172) completed a negotiation experiment with a non-human avatar.

• Participants synchronized their movements with the movements of their non-human negotiation partners.

• Greater synchrony was observed when participants engaged in an integrative negotiation compared to distributive negotiation.

• Participants that engaged in synchrony reported greater affiliation with their non-human partner.
