  EnglishAbstractSetting sailing together it's still a difficult task for h
 umans in interaction with robots. As interactions with embodied artificial
  agents are increasing in public and private contexts\, researchers have b
 een grappling with investigating which robotic aspects contribute the most
  to how humans feel in interaction with those artificial companions.The st
 udy I will present investigates how interactional synchrony between human 
 participants and a social robot shapes the human affective experience with
 \, and perception of the robot as a social partner. In human social encoun
 ters\, synchrony – in its different forms - has long been recognised as 
 a key ingredient in the making up of social relationships. At issue in thi
 s work is how interactional synchrony in a human-robot interaction develop
 s over time\, influencing &nbsp\;the human affective experience of interac
 ting with the robot.Our results indicate that for humans\, establishing in
 teractional synchrony was easy to achieve\, from the very beginning\, in i
 nteraction with another human\, but less so with a humanoid robot. Additio
 nally\, linear models indicated that higher synchrony levels with the robo
 t correlated with feeling more comfortable in the interaction.Registration
