Cycle Synchrony Theory

Cycle Synchrony Theory suggests that during biological cycles—such as menstrual cycles—individuals’ physiological and emotional states can become aligned or synchronized when they are in close proximity or forming bonds. This synchronization may enhance social cohesion and pair bonding by aligning behaviors and hormonal patterns, making interactions more harmonious. Essentially, it proposes that our internal rhythms can influence and be influenced by others’ cycles, fostering a sense of connection and cooperation within groups or relationships.
