Disentrainment may be a Positive Thing: A Novel Measure of Unsigned Acoustic-Prosodic Synchrony, and its Relation to Speaker Engagement

Due to an issue in our experiments, Panel B from Table 1 in the Results section should be replaced with Table 1 presented below. Specifically, features were extracted considering the same tonal range 75-500hz for both male and female participants. However, the range 50-300hz should have been used for males instead. Experiments were run again, and the new results are comparable to previous ones. In spite of minor changes in Intensity and Pitch slopes and significances, we can still say that the analysis found the same pattern of significant associations between positive social variables and our sinchrony measure.
