Social media has created a new social landscape for adolescents. Knowledge is needed on how this shapes adolescents' skills and time spent with friends, as these outcomes are important to mental health psychosocial functioning. Using five waves of biennially collected data from birth cohort assessed throughout age 10–18 years (n = 812), we found that increased use predicted more friends offline but was unrelated future changes in skills. Age sex did not moderate associations declined among those high anxiety symptoms. The findings suggest may neither harm nor benefit the development promote, rather than displace, interaction during adolescence. However, pose risk reduced socially anxious individuals.

Face2face: advancing the science of social interaction

Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B Biological Sciences, Год журнала: 2023, Номер 378(1875)

Опубликована: Март 6, 2023

Face-to-face interaction is core to human sociality and its evolution, provides the environment in which most of communication occurs. Research into full complexities that define face-to-face requires a multi-disciplinary, multi-level approach, illuminating from different perspectives how we other species interact. This special issue showcases wide range approaches, bringing together detailed studies naturalistic social-interactional behaviour with larger scale analyses for generalization, investigations socially contextualized cognitive neural processes underpin observe. We suggest this integrative approach will allow us propel forwards science by leading new paradigms novel, more ecologically grounded comprehensive insights interact one another artificial agents, differences psychological profiles might affect interaction, capacity develops has evolved species. theme makes first step direction, aim break down disciplinary boundaries emphasizing value many facets interaction. article part discussion meeting ‘Face2face: advancing social interaction’.

Neural mechanisms for emotional contagion and spontaneous mimicry of live facial expressions

Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B Biological Sciences, Год журнала: 2023, Номер 378(1875)

Опубликована: Март 6, 2023

Viewing a live facial expression typically elicits similar by the observer (facial mimicry) that is associated with concordant emotional experience (emotional contagion). The model of embodied emotion proposes contagion and mimicry are functionally linked although neural underpinnings not known. To address this knowledge gap, we employed two-person paradigm ( n = 20 dyads) using functional near-infrared spectroscopy during emotive face-processing while also measuring eye-tracking, classifications ratings emotion. One dyadic partner, ‘Movie Watcher’, was instructed to emote natural expressions viewing evocative short movie clips. other ‘Face viewed Movie Watcher's face. Task rest blocks were implemented timed epochs clear opaque glass separated partners. Dyadic roles alternated experiment.

Sensorimotor regulation of facial expression – An untouched frontier

Neuroscience & Biobehavioral Reviews, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 162, С. 105684 - 105684

Facial expression is a critical form of nonverbal social communication which promotes emotional exchange and affiliation among humans. expressions are generated via precise contraction the facial muscles, guided by sensory feedback. While neural pathways underlying motor control well characterized in humans primates, it remains unknown how tactile proprioceptive information reaches these to guide muscle contraction. Thus, despite importance for functioning, little known about they as unique sensorimotor behavior. In this review, we highlight current knowledge feedback from face distinct other body regions. We describe connectivity between brain systems, call attention systems influence behavior, including vision, gustation, emotion, interoception. Finally, petition more research on basis expressions, asserting that incomplete understanding mechanisms barrier addressing atypical expressivity clinical populations.

Deep multimodal representations and classification of first-episode psychosis via live face processing

Schizophrenia is a severe psychiatric disorder associated with wide range of cognitive and neurophysiological dysfunctions long-term social difficulties. Early detection expected to reduce the burden disease by initiating early treatment. In this paper, we test hypothesis that integration multiple simultaneous acquisitions neuroimaging, behavioral, clinical information will be better for prediction psychosis than unimodal recordings. We propose novel framework investigate neural underpinnings symptoms (that can develop into age) using multimodal behavioral recordings including functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) electroencephalography (EEG), facial features. Our data acquisition paradigm based on live face-toface interaction in order study correlates cognition first-episode (FEP). deep representation learning framework, Neural-PRISM, joint compressed representations combining as well These learned are subsequently used describe, classify, predict severity patients, measured Positive Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) Global Assessment Functioning (GAF) scores evaluate impact symptomatology. found incorporating from fNIRS EEG along enhances classification between typical controls FEP individuals (significant improvements 10 − 20%). Additionally, our results suggest geometric topological features such curvatures path signatures embedded trajectories brain activity enable discriminatory characteristics psychosis.

Emotional contagion, that is, the spontaneous synchronization of emotions among individuals, is basic mechanism social cohesion and survival different species. contagion can be observed in humans many animals, it has become an effective means to protect individuals from danger. The study emotional animals evolutionary significance, human society, important impact on mental health group behavior. However, existing research still obvious shortcomings similarities differences cross-species communication dynamics virtual space infectious effect positive emotions. This paper reviews mechanisms species, such as rodents, nonhuman primates, dogs, crows zebrafish, highlighting conservatism species-specific adaptation, analyzes role children's behavioral mimicry its early development.

Lower empathy for face mask wearers is not explained by observer’s reduced facial mimicry

Опубликована: Сен. 18, 2024

Facial occlusion alters social processes that rely on face visibility, including spontaneous mimicry of emotions. Given facial emotions is theorized to play an important role in how we empathize or share with others, here investigated if empathy was reduced for faces wearing masks because may reduce the ability mimic expressions. In two preregistered experiments, participants rated their displaying happy neutral and no masks. We manipulated by either blocking observers holding a pen between teeth (Experiment 1) producing state constant congruent instructing smile 2). Results showed ratings masked faces. Mimicry overall facilitated empathy, when blocked higher it instructed. However, this effect did not vary mask condition. Thus, while were impaired sharing faces, impairment seem be explained reduction mimicry. These results show process emotions, but occluding reduces emotion via different mechanism.

Decoding the spatiotemporal dynamic neural representation of repetitive facial expression imitation

bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory), Год журнала: 2024, Номер unknown

Опубликована: Фев. 28, 2024

Abstract Imitating facial emotion expressions can facilitate social interactions, although the behavioral and neural spatiotemporal dynamics is unclear. Here participants (N=100) imitated emotions repeatedly over one month (16 times in total) with activity measured on three occasions using functional near-infrared spectroscopy. Additionally, transfer effect of repeated imitation emotional face scene perception was assessed by fMRI multivariate pattern analysis. Valence specific performance facilitated alterations similarity patterns evoked mirror neuron system (MNS) information flow moving progressively towards inferior frontal gyrus as number increase. Furthermore, MNS representation predictive processing faces, but not scenes, were enhanced. Overall, these findings provide a changes within advance our understanding from novice to proficient imitation.
