The impact of face-to-face social exclusion on university students’ interpersonal cooperation behavior: a hyperscanning study based on fNIRS
Changjiang Liu
BackgroundMost studies on social exclusion adopt virtual paradigms focusing on unilateral responses, while neglecting real-world face-to-face interaction and its neural basis. Functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) hyperscanning allows recording of interpersonal neural synchronization (INS) during dyadic interaction, providing a novel approach for investigating interpersonal cooperation.MethodsThis study recruited 24 dyads of college students randomly assigned to social exclusion and incl
