Previous work on joint attention has shown that even minimal shared experiences such as watching something together facilitates social closeness between individuals. Here, we examined whether young children already connect with others through joint attention. In the current studies, children sat next to a novel adult who either watched a film with them or was not able to see the film and read a book instead. After the video, we measured children's willingness (i.e., latency) to approach the experimenter holding out a toy. In both studies, the 2.5-year-olds who watched the film together approached more quickly than the other children. These results show that both minimally interactive shared experiences and noninteractive shared experiences lead children to feel more comfortable with a novel adult. This suggests that joint attention interactions, and shared experiences in general, play an important role not only in children's cognitive development but also in their social development and the formation of their social relationships.}, Doi = {10.1016/j.jecp.2019.104712}, Key = {fds349455} } @article{fds349456, Author = {Wolf, W and Tomasello, M}, Title = {Visually attending to a video together facilitates great ape social closeness.}, Journal = {Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences}, Volume = {286}, Number = {1907}, Pages = {20190488}, Year = {2019}, Month = {July}, url = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1098/rspb.2019.0488}, Abstract = {Humans create social closeness with one another through a variety of shared social activities in which they align their emotions or mental states towards an external stimulus such as dancing to music together, playing board games together or even engaging in minimal shared experiences such as watching a movie together. Although these specific behaviours would seem to be uniquely human, it is unclear whether the underlying psychology is unique to the species, or if other species might possess some form of this psychological mechanism as well. Here we show that great apes who have visually attended to a video together with a human (study 1) and a conspecific (study 2) subsequently approach that individual faster (study 1) or spend more time in their proximity (study 2) than when they had attended to something different. Our results suggest that one of the most basic mechanisms of human social bonding-feeling closer to those with whom we act or attend together-is present in both humans and great apes, and thus has deeper evolutionary roots than previously suspected.}, Doi = {10.1098/rspb.2019.0488}, Key = {fds349456} } @article{fds318798, Author = {Wolf, W and Launay, J and Dunbar, RIM}, Title = {Joint attention, shared goals, and social bonding}, Journal = {British Journal of Psychology (London, England : 1953)}, Volume = {107}, Number = {2}, Pages = {322-337}, Publisher = {WILEY}, Year = {2016}, Month = {May}, url = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1111/bjop.12144}, Doi = {10.1111/bjop.12144}, Key = {fds318798} } @article{fds318799, Author = {Wolf, W and Levordashka, A and Ruff, JR and Kraaijeveld, S and Lueckmann, J-M and Williams, KD}, Title = {Ostracism Online: A social media ostracism paradigm}, Journal = {Behavior Research Methods}, Volume = {47}, Number = {2}, Pages = {361-373}, Publisher = {Springer Science and Business Media LLC}, Year = {2015}, Month = {June}, url = {http://dx.doi.org/10.3758/s13428-014-0475-x}, Doi = {10.3758/s13428-014-0475-x}, Key = {fds318799} } | |
