The social grounds of personal self: Interactions that build a sense of ‘we’ help clarify who ‘I’ am

Namkje Koudenburg, Jolanda Jetten, Karalyn F. Enz, S. Alexander Haslam

European Journal of Social Psychology > 54 > 6 > 1153 - 1167

Many lay people believe that the best way to develop a clear sense of ‘who you are’ is to shut yourself off from others and engage in introspection. Increasingly, however, empirical evidence points to the social aspects of identities and identity development. Building on this, we argue that a strong sense of personal identity is more likely to be derived from meaningful social interaction. More specifically,...

Scavenging and social interaction of an apex avian scavenger is governed by bioregional and seasonal variation

Niraj Meisuria, Emma E. Spencer, Rhys J. Cairncross, Mathew S. Crowther, more

Oikos > 2024 > 10 > n/a - n/a

Apex scavengers can perform an important ecosystem service by rapidly removing carrion, in turn regulating nutrient cycling linked to carcass decomposition. Yet, our understanding of the biotic and abiotic factors that influence rates of apex scavenging and their behaviour around carrion remains limited, in part because of the absence of replicated studies across different bioregions, habitats and...

Neural correlates of static and dynamic social decision‐making in real‐time sibling interactions

Lucia Hernandez‐Pena, Julia Koch, Edda Bilek, Julia Schräder, more

Human Brain Mapping > 45 > 11 > n/a - n/a

In traditional game theory tasks, social decision‐making is centered on the prediction of the intentions (i.e., mentalizing) of strangers or manipulated responses. In contrast, real‐life scenarios often involve familiar individuals in dynamic environments. Further research is needed to explore neural correlates of social decision‐making with changes in the available information and environmental settings...

Angiotensin II involvement in the development and persistence of amphetamine‐induced sensitization: Striatal dopamine reuptake implications

Osvaldo M. Basmadjian, Victoria B. Occhieppo, Antonella E. Montemerlo, Gustavo A. Rivas, more

European Journal of Neuroscience > 59 > 10 > 2450 - 2464

Amphetamine (AMPH) exposure induces behavioural and neurochemical sensitization observed in rodents as hyperlocomotion and increased dopamine release in response to a subsequent dose. Brain Angiotensin II modulates dopaminergic neurotransmission through its AT₁ receptors (AT₁‐R), positively regulating striatal dopamine synthesis and release. This work aims to evaluate the AT₁‐R role in the development...

Uncomfortable staring? Gaze to other people in social situations is inhibited in both infants and adults

Louisa Kulke, Sahura Ertugrul, Emely Reyentanz, Vanessa Thomas

Developmental Science > 27 > 3 > n/a - n/a

People attract infants’ and adults’ gaze when presented on a computer screen. However, in live social situations, adults inhibit their gaze at strangers to avoid sending inappropriate social signals. Such inhibition of gaze has never been directly investigated in infants. The current preregistered study measured gaze and neural responses (EEG alpha power) to a confederate in a live social situation...

Efstratia Papoutselou, Samantha Harrison, Guangting Mai, Bryony Buck, more

European Journal of Neuroscience > 59 > 6 > 1386 - 1403

Successful social interactions between mothers and children are hypothesised to play a significant role in a child's social, cognitive and language development. Earlier research has confirmed, through structured experimental paradigms, that these interactions could be underpinned by coordinated neural activity. Nevertheless, the extent of neural synchrony during real‐life, ecologically valid interactions...

Sex‐specific negative affect‐like behaviour and parabrachial nucleus activation induced by BNST stimulation in adult mice with adolescent alcohol history

Lucas Albrechet‐Souza, Chelsea R. Kasten, Natalia B. Bertagna, Tiffany A. Wills

Addiction Biology > 29 > 2 > n/a - n/a

Adolescent alcohol use is a strong predictor for the subsequent development of alcohol use disorders later in life. Additionally, adolescence is a critical period for the onset of affective disorders, which can contribute to problematic drinking behaviours and relapse, particularly in females. Previous studies from our laboratory have shown that exposure to adolescent intermittent ethanol (AIE) vapour...

Rachel J. Ellis, Jerker Rönnberg, Charlotta Plejert

International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders > 59 > 1 > 293 - 303

Background The impact of hearing impairment is typically studied in terms of its effects on speech perception, yet this fails to account for the interactive nature of communication. Recently, there has been a move towards studying the effects of age‐related hearing impairment on interaction, often using referential communication tasks; however, little is known about how interaction in these tasks...
