SOCIAL INTEGRATION AND PERCEIVED EMOTIONAL SYNCHRONY AMONG DEVOTEES VISITING MAUSOLEUM Shehla Parveen1 and Dr. Shah Mohd. Khan2 1Research Scholar, Department of Psychology, AMU, Aligarh, U.P 2Associate Professor, Department of Psychology, AMU, Aligarh, U.P Abstract Traditionally, visits to mausoleums have been studied from various social and cultural perceptions, with little consideration to psychological processes. People visit mausoleums with different needs and desires. This research aims to examine the relationship between social integration and perceived emotional synchrony among devotees of different beliefs and religions visiting the mausoleum. A representative sample of 100 devotees having representation of reasonable gender, religion, location, marital status and family type participated in the study. The correlation between social integration and perceived emotional synchrony is positive and highly statistically significant. It can be inferred that social integration grows linearly, so the emotional synchrony between devotees visiting the mausoleum. The results are in the direction as suggested by Durkheim (1912) “that because of the social sharing of emotions, group gatherings allow participants to enter a stage of collective bubbling, in which they will feel, a sense of unity with others”. Implication and suggestion for future research proposed.
