These results align wiith prior research showing that shared experiences can amplify both emotional intensity and physiological alignment. Whether this synchrony emerges during shared fear or reflects pre-existing alignment between close individuals remains an open question -

Fear play is mostly social - done with parents, siblings, or friends. And it might serve a purpose: helping kids manage emotions, evaluate risks, and promote learning. This is the first study to show how common that is across childhood. Amazing work, Mihaela! Congrats!

They ask to poke a dead bird with a stick. They sneak peeks at horror clips online. They dare each other to jump from the shed roof. They test how close their finger can get to a knife’s edge. These might sound concerning or odd - but they’re developmentally typical!
