Laughter Indicates Perceived Similarity Among Friends and Strangers
Laughter is a signature of social connection, thought to communicate a shared understanding of nonseriousness. Building on this idea, the present work examines whether people laugh more when they perceive similarity with their social partner, or instead, feel more similar when they laugh. Participants (N dyads = 132) had semi-structured conversations with both a friend and a stranger, discussing ways they were similar to and different from one an…
Longitudinal Sentiment Analysis with Conversation Textual Data
The inherent qualitative nature of textual data poses significant challenges for direct integration into statistical models. This paper presents a two-stage process for analyzing longitudinal textual data, offering a solution to this inherent challenge. The proposed model comprises (1) initial data preprocessing and sentiment extraction, followed by (2) applying a growth curve model to analyze the extracted sentiments directly. The paper also exp…
World Beliefs Moderate the Effects of Trauma and Severe Illness on Emotional Distress
OBJECTIVE: Severe illness and trauma can cause significant psychological distress, but individuals differ in their responses. This research tested whether world beliefs-fundamental assumptions about the nature of the world-moderate the relationship between negative life experiences and emotional distress. METHOD: Study 1 compared individuals with chronic illnesses (cystic fibrosis or cancer) to healthy controls on measures of anxiety, depression,…

Cultural diversity broadens social networks
1,461) brokerage scores were also positively related to the ancestral diversity of the U.S. county they identified as "home." The results of this study suggest that more culturally diverse social environments-defined here at multiple geographic and temporal scales-endow people with socially adaptable behaviors that help them connect broadly within new, heterogeneous communities.

Semantic Similarity of Social Functional Smiles and Laughter
Faces synchronize when communication through spoken language is prevented
Cooperating with another person requires communicating intentions and coordinating behavior. People often accomplish these tasks using spoken language, but verbal communication is not always available. Here, we test the hypothesis that, to establish successful cooperative interaction, people compensate for the temporary loss of one means, verbal communication, by amplifying another, namely nonverbal expressive synchrony. Fifty-seven female dyads,…
Heterogeneity of long-history migration predicts emotion recognition accuracy
Recent work (Rychlowska et al., 2015) demonstrated the power of a relatively new cultural dimension, historical heterogeneity, in predicting cultural differences in the endorsement of emotion expression norms. Historical heterogeneity describes the number of source countries that have contributed to a country's present-day population over the last 500 years. People in cultures originating from a large number of source countries may have historica…
