Physiological Responses to a Haunted-House Threat Experience: Distinct Tonic and Phasic Effects

Sarah M. Tashjian, Virginia Fedrigo, Tanaz Molapour, Dean Mobbs et autres

Threats elicit physiological responses, the frequency and intensity of which have implications for survival. Ethical and practical limitations on human laboratory manipulations present barriers to studying immersive threat. Furthermore, few investigations have examined group effects and concordance with subjective emotional experiences to …

Seven computations of the social brain

Tanaz Molapour, Cindy C. Hagan, Brian Silston, Haiyan Wu et autres

The social environment presents the human brain with the most complex information processing demands. The computations that the brain must perform occur in parallel, combine social and nonsocial cues, produce verbal and nonverbal signals and involve multiple cognitive systems, including memory, attention, …

The role of aversive learning in social interactions

Tanaz Molapour

It could be argued that our survival as humans hinges on our ability to interact socially with others. Our social interactions are influenced by evaluations of each other: we cooperate with those we like and avoid or are aggressive towards those we …

Aversive Learning and Trait Aggression Influence Retaliatory Behavior

Tanaz Molapour, Björn Lindström, Andreas Olsson

In two experiments (n = 35, n = 34), we used a modified fear-conditioning paradigm to investigate the role of aversive learning in retaliatory behavior in social context. Participants first completed an initial aversive learning phase in which the pairing of a …

Conditioned social dominance threat: observation of others’ social dominance biases threat learning

Jan Haaker, Tanaz Molapour, Andreas Olsson

Social groups are organized along dominance hierarchies, which determine how we respond to threats posed by dominant and subordinate others. The persuasive impact of these dominance threats on mental and physical well-being has been well described but it is unknown how dominance …

The Subjective Consequences of Experiencing Random Events

Jason Hubbard, Tanaz Molapour, Ezequiel Morsella

In everyday life, one’s experience is usually highly structured, coherent, and predictable, a regularity stemming from the many constraints (e.g., cultural and physical constraints) operating upon the natural and social worlds. Consider that events that are experienced in an office meeting are …

Neural correlates of biased social fear learning and interaction in an intergroup context

Tanaz Molapour, Armita Golkar, Carlos David Navarrete, Jan Haaker et autres

Associations linking a fearful experience to a member of a social group other than one's own (out-group) are more resistant to change than corresponding associations to a member of one's own (in-group) (Olsson et al., 2005; Kubota et al., 2012), providing a …

Is There Release from Masking from Isomorphism between Perception and Action?

Tara C. Dennehy, Shanna Cooper, Tanaz Molapour, Ezequiel Morsella

The phenomenon of "entry into awareness" is one of the most challenging puzzles in neuroscience. Research has shown how entry is influenced by processes that are "bottom-up" (e.g., stimulus salience, motion, novelty, incentive and emotional quality) and associated with working memory. Although …

Racial Bias Shapes Social Reinforcement Learning

Björn Lindström, Ida Selbing, Tanaz Molapour, Andreas Olsson

Both emotional facial expressions and markers of racial-group belonging are ubiquitous signals in social interaction, but little is known about how these signals together affect future behavior through learning. To address this issue, we investigated how emotional (threatening or friendly) in-group and …

The Three Pillars of Volition

Ezequiel Morsella, Tanaz Molapour, Margaret T. Lynn

This chapter tackles the problem of volition from an inductive (instead of deductive) and descriptive (instead of normative) approach. In this “bottom-up” approach, a distinction is made between the high-level properties of human voluntary action and its necessary basic components—the building blocks …
