Abstract

Heart beat communication is hypothesized to be an intimate cue. Moreover, as with other nonverbal cues, we expect that hearing someone’s heart beat triggers unconscious nonverbal compensation strategies like increasing interpersonal distance. In line with this, we found that hearing someone’s heart beat increases the kept interpersonal distance. We conclude that heart beat communication increases the feeling of intimacy and can therefore be employed in connectedness devices.
