This study investigates whether synchronized movement to music promotes helping behavior in 14-month-old infants. Infants who moved in synchrony with an experimenter were more likely to help her afterward than those who moved asynchronously. The findings suggest that musical synchrony may encourage early altruistic behavior and social bonding.
