However, few studies have explored the neuroendocrinological changes that might contribute to these benefits. In this exploratory study, we assessed oxytocin (OT) and cortisol (CORT) responses in children experiencing facilitated drum circle activities for the first time. These activities involve imitation and coordinated movement, which are known to increase OT levels. Additionally, OT levels are associated with behavioral synchrony and affiliative behaviors in close preexisting relationships, with higher baseline levels observed in individuals who exhibit more affectionate and coordinated interactions. We hypothesized that children participating in facilitated drum circles with their friends would show higher levels of OT than those participating with strangers.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Elementary school girls were assigned to either a friends group (F\u2010group) or a strangers group (S\u2010group).
