  abstract = {<p>Studies show that\&nbsp;synchronizing\&nbsp;movements\&nbsp;with others encourages a collective social identity, leading to increased cooperation within a\&nbsp;group. The current study investigated whether\&nbsp;movement\&nbsp;synchrony\&nbsp;impacts social categorization and cooperation across\&nbsp;intergroup\&nbsp;boundaries. Two 3-person\&nbsp;groups\&nbsp;were brought together under\&nbsp;movement\&nbsp;synchrony\&nbsp;conditions designed to emphasize different social categorizations of the aggregate: all individuals\&nbsp;moved\&nbsp;to the same beat, each\&nbsp;minimal\&nbsp;group\&nbsp;moved\&nbsp;to a different beat, or each individual\&nbsp;moved\&nbsp;to a different beat. Results demonstrate that\&nbsp;movement\&nbsp;synchrony\&nbsp;influenced\&nbsp;social categorization and cooperation across\&nbsp;intergroup\&nbsp;boundaries. Implications for approaches to\&nbsp;intergroup\&nbsp;relations\&nbsp;using\&nbsp;movement\&nbsp;synchrony\&nbsp;are noted.</p>
