【演講摘要】
Understanding the dynamic nature of interacting minds requires an interdisciplinary approach that bridges psychology and computational science. In this talk, I will present three studies that leverage computational methods to explore the dynamics of interacting minds. Study 1 examines how large-scale social stressors, such as the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown, shape spontaneous emotional expressions. Using pre-trained AI models, we found that individuals in lockdown displayed greater similarity in their facial expressions of sadness, highlighting how external emotional contexts lead to alignments in affective responses. Study 2 explores the role of socially transmitted expectations in clinical settings. We systematically manipulated healthcare providers’ expectations and found that their beliefs directly influenced patients’ pain perception and physiological responses. Our findings highlight the importance of how healthcare providers’ behavior and cognitive mindsets can impact clinical interactions. Study 3 investigates how shared experiences align our perceptions, even among individuals with opposing attitudes. Through a movie co-watching experiment, we found that participants, regardless of their stance on a controversial issue, exhibited aligned character impressions when viewing together. This suggests that shared experiences can bridge differences, fostering collective understanding. Together, these studies demonstrate the power of taking a computational approach in deepening our understanding of interacting minds.
