Self-other merging induced by Interpersonal Multisensory Stimulation increases interpersonal trust behavior.
No full textStudies show that we can change the representation of the self and self-other boundaries, i.e. induce bodily self-other merging. Indeed, experiencing tactile facial stimulation while seeing similar synchronous stimuli delivered to the face of another individual as in a mirror (IMS procedure), induces the subjective illusory experience of ownership and self-attribution bias of the other’s face (Bufalari et al., 2018).
Recently we showed that IMS changes self-representations making self- and other- neural processing similar (Bufalari et al., 2019), and that the extent of this effect depends on participants’ empathic traits and interdependent self-construal (Bufalari et al., In preparation). IMS may also change interpersonal perception by increasing closeness, attraction, and perceived similarity towards that specific person (Paladino et al., 2010 ; Toscano & Schubert, 2015). Here, we show that experiencing IMS with a previously unknown other may increase interpersonal trust with that person (as measured by the amount of invested money in the trust game), through increasing bodily self-other merging, and this effect is moderated by perceived trustee’s facial trustworthiness. IMS was efficient in increasing investment only when the trustee was moderately or highly untrustworthy before IMS was applied.
In line with the free-energy theoretical account, we speculated that bodily self-other merging may generalize to social processing of others firstly through an increase in perceived physical similarity between self and other (by changing the self-representation and making it similar to the other) and then in conceptual domain, leading to a generalization of positive self-like associations to the other
The relation between locomotion and assessment regulatory orientations and the problematic Internet use
No full textThe present study examines the relationships between problematic Internet use (GPIU) and two regulatory modes (RMs) namely Locomotion and Assessment. Through an online survey conducted on two hundred and forty six participants we found that Locomotion and Assessment regulatory orientations have opposite effects on the likelihood of developing GPIU, with the former reducing and the latter increasing it. Specifically, while Assessment orientation positively correlates with each GPIU dimension, Locomotion orientation negatively correlates with POSI, compulsive Internet use and negative outcome. Results also show how deficient self-regulation mediates the effect Assessment has on Negative outcome. Conversely, the effect of Locomotion remained significant. This study introduces RMs orientations as new theoretical antecedents of GPIU discussing potential practical implication
