“…Moreover, we only observed an association between INS and cooperative task performance and reciprocity in mother– but not father–child pairs. Future studies might be able to decipher further relevant behaviors and traits in relation to INS in father–child interactions and probe possible mediation / moderation mechanisms (see Feng et al, 2020 ). A more detailed comparison of behavioral and INS patterns in dyads consisting of mothers and fathers with their children seems to be a promising research avenue.…”

Interpersonal neural synchrony (INS) has been previously evidenced in mother-child interactions, yet findings concerning father-child interaction are wanting. The current experiment examined whether fathers and their 5-to 6-year-old children (N = 66) synchronize their brain activity during a naturalistic interaction, and addressed paternal and child factors related to INS. Compared to individual problem solving and rest, fatherchild dyads showed increased INS in bilateral dorsolateral prefrontal cortex and left temporo-parietal junction during cooperative problem solving. Furthermore, the father's attitude toward his role as a parent was positively related to INS during the cooperation condition. These results highlight the implication of the father's attitude to parenting in INS processes for the first time.Stefanie Hoehl and Pascal Vrti cka contributed equally. We are grateful to the fathers and children who participated in the study. We also wish to thank our master student Laura Thomsen and all other research assistants for their help with data collection and video ratings.

“…In addition, levels of cerebral synchrony varied with social distance between interacting partners (Djalovski et al, 2021;Kinreich et al, 2017), suggesting that cerebral synchrony reflects social connectedness. Indeed, available empirical evidence indicates that cerebral synchrony positively relates to explicit representation of other individuals: perceived self-other overlap and cerebral synchrony in the right dorsolateral prefrontal cortex positively mediated the prosocial effects of dyadic motoric synchrony (Feng et al, 2020). In addition, cerebral synchrony positively correlated with accuracy in inferring pain (Goldstein et al, 2018) and with convergence in self-reported emotion when the partner's emotion was accurately recognized (Anders et al, 2020).…”

A bustling literature spanning philosophy, psychology and social sciences aims for a better understanding of the collective patterns of emotions stirring human society. To date, however, this endeavour is still in need of a unifying conceptual framework and empirical evidence regarding the characteristics, antecedents and consequences of collective emotion remains sparse. To foster progress in the field, we examine existing accounts and identify three characteristics of collective emotion: emotion alignment, feeling of social connectedness and mutual awareness. We then propose a typology of collective emotion that accounts for the dynamic interplay of social and cognitive processes. Crucially, this typology allows for integrating different accounts and research traditions into an experimental framework that generates testable predictions regarding the mechanisms and consequences of collective emotion. Finally, we review available empirical evidence in social and cognitive sciences and we discuss future directions for an evidence-based approach to collective emotion.

“…When individuals are experiencing heightened feelings of closeness and connectedness, they are prompted to expand their sense of self and, consequently, their cognitive processing on the self–other boundary is blurred, leading to an enhanced sense of inclusiveness with others. In fact, existing research has shown that people’s self–other overlap perception could be influenced by the physical environment, such as the shared sensory experience (Feng et al , 2020; Quintard et al , 2021) and the peripersonal space (i.e. immediate surrounding space; Maister et al , 2015).…”

Concave or convex? The impact of display surface curvature on social appeals’ persuasion: the mediating role of self–other overlap

Purpose Marketing persuasive materials are often displayed on a curved surface (e.g. a curved hallway). This study aims to investigate how the curvature (concave vs convex) of a display surface influences the persuasion of the marketing appeals presented on it. Design/methodology/approach The conceptual framework was tested in a field experiment, a lab experiment and two online experiments on Amazon Mechanical Turk. Analyses of variance and mediation analysis were used to test the hypotheses. Findings This research demonstrates that a concave (vs convex) display surface may increase persuasion for marketing materials with social appeals. This occurs because a concave surface enhances consumers’ perception of self–other overlap, which is matched with the content of the social appeal presented on it, thereby enhancing the appeal’s persuasiveness. It further identifies the appeal content as an important moderator of the effect; a convex (vs concave) display would enhance persuasion when the marketing materials contain personal appeals. Research limitations/implications Future research could investigate how a time delay (e.g. hours, days) and the curvature of a display board or wall would play a role in the effect of display curvature. Practical implications The findings offer a novel, simple and cost-effective approach to enhance persuasion for both nonprofit and for-profit marketing materials. Originality/value This research contributes to the persuasion literature by investigating the impact of one ubiquitous but overlooked aspect of the message setting (i.e. the curvature of the message’s display surface) on persuasion while holding the message source and content constant. It also advances knowledge on consumer shape perception by examining an underexplored shape (i.e. the curved shape of a display surface) that is nondiagnostic in message persuasion.
