Abstract

What determines if the first interaction between strangers will be a pleasant experience? We conducted an experiment to investigate the extent to which the perceived quality of an interaction is influenced by conversation content and context, and we document the physiological changes that are likely to play a role in establishing rapport. Females who did not know each other met in pairs and conducted a gossip- or creativity task, either face-to-face or online. The conversation content had no effect on the quality of online interactions. However in the face-to-face condition gossip was associated with better interaction quality. Tonic electrodermal activity steadily declined throughout the interaction, while phasic electrodermal activity first peaked and then returned to baseline. Neither were related to perceived interaction quality. Heart rate variability (HRV) dropped at first but then remained stable. A smaller drop in HRV drop corresponded to higher ratings of rapport and liking. Together these results suggest that gossip can improve the quality of a face-to-face interaction between strangers, and support the conjecture that parasympathetic activity is a marker of human openness to social engagement.
初次见面时的生理变化及其在决定感知互动质量中的作用
是什么决定了陌生人之间的第一次互动是否会是一次愉快的体验?我们进行了一项实验,调查互动的感知质量在多大程度上受到对话内容和上下文的影响,并记录了可能在建立融洽关系中发挥作用的生理变化。互不相识的女性成双成对地见面,面对面或在线进行八卦或创意任务。对话内容对在线互动的质量没有影响。然而,在面对面的情况下,八卦与更好的互动质量有关。在整个相互作用过程中,紧张性皮肤电活性稳步下降,而阶段性皮肤热活性先达到峰值,然后恢复到基线。两者都与感知交互质量无关。心率变异性(HRV)起初有所下降,但随后保持稳定。HRV下降幅度越小,对应的融洽关系和好感度越高。总之,这些结果表明,八卦可以提高陌生人之间面对面的互动质量,并支持副交感神经活动是人类对社会参与开放性的标志这一猜测。

期刊介绍: This international peer-reviewed journal aims to advance knowledge in the growing and strongly interdisciplinary area of Interaction Studies in biological and artificial systems. Understanding social behaviour and communication in biological and artificial systems requires knowledge of evolutionary, developmental and neurobiological aspects of social behaviour and communication; the embodied nature of interactions; origins and characteristics of social and narrative intelligence; perception, action and communication in the context of dynamic and social environments; social learning.
