This study examines physiological synchrony in couples. All procedures take place at home and study materials will be mailed to an address you provide. Participants will be asked to complete a set of self-report questionnaires and engage in several interpersonal tasks (e.g., gazing into each other’s eyes, holding hands) while wearing a heart rate strap to measure cardiac activity. Participants will then be asked to measure physiological responding via heart rate straps during  sexual activity. The study is expected to take 3-4 hours total and participants will be compensated with $30 each, or $60 per couple.
