Increases in Intellectual Humility From Guided Conversations Are Greater When People Perceive Affiliation With Conversation Partners
Intellectual humility involves awareness that one’s knowledge has limitations and that one’s beliefs might be incorrect. Despite documented benefits of intellectual humility, few studies have examined factors associated with long-term changes in intellectual humility. This study investigated whether an intervention focused on guided conversations was associated with increases in intellectual humility and whether these changes were stronger when p…
Toward a science of relationship forecasting
Given the importance of high-quality romantic relationships for health and well-being, researchers have spent decades examining factors that promote them. In doing so, they have identified factors that influence the formation and maintenance of relationships on average, in the moment, and for certain populations. However, making more targeted predictions for particular groups of people or even specific couples-with a meaningful degree of accuracy…
An Investigation of Patients’ and Doctors’ Autonomic Nervous System Responses Throughout News-Focused Medical Consultations
Although it is clear that people experience physiological arousal in anticipation of news-focused medical consultations, our knowledge of people's experiences during and throughout these consultations is scarce. We examine interbeat interval responses (IBI) of patients and doctors during real-life medical consultations to understand how the experiences of both parties change throughout these encounters and whether they differ from each other. We …
Behavioral variability in physiological synchrony during future-based conversations between romantic partners
Physiological synchrony-or similarity between two people's physiological responses-is thought to have important consequences for health and well-being and has been observed in social relationship contexts. The present study investigated variability in dyads' physiological synchrony as a function of both partners' behaviors during an emotionally salient discussion. We examined concurrent covariation in cardiac interbeat intervals in a sample of yo…
Physiological linkage during interactions between doctors and cancer patients
These results reveal that, by influencing patients' physiological responses on a moment-to-moment basis, doctors may have even more influence over patients' physiology than previously known
Influencing the physiology and decisions of groups
Many of the most important decisions in our society are made within groups, yet we know little about how the physiological responses of group members predict the decisions that groups make. In the current work, we examine whether physiological linkage from “senders” to “receivers”—which occurs when a sender’s physiological response predicts a receiver’s physiological response—is associated with senders’ success at persuading the group to make a d…
Social anxiety, cortisol, and early-stage friendship
Socially anxious people report less closeness to others, but very little research has examined how social anxiety is related to closeness in real-time social interactions. The present study investigated social anxiety, closeness, and cortisol reactivity in zero-acquaintance interactions between 84 same-sex dyads (168 participants). Dyads engaged in either a high or low self-disclosure discussion task and completed self-report measures of closenes…
Interactive Effects Between Extraversion and Oxytocin Administration
Intranasal administration of the neuropeptide oxytocin (OT) appears to have positive social consequences, but these effects are often highly context- and person-specific. The present research examined whether the core personality trait of extraversion may be one important person-specific factor that plays a role in these associations. Across two double-blind randomized placebo-controlled studies (total ns: Study 1 = 121; Study 2 = 112), we observ…
