Interindividual differences in transparent dyadic human interactions (C02)

• Subject Area: Biological Psychology and Cognitive Neuroscience ; Human Cognitive and Systems Neuroscience ; Cognitive, Systems and Behavioural Neurobiology
• Term: since 2022
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 454648639

We will investigate how the presence and actions of a partner impact decisions of an individual and how person-related factors shape the dynamic processes in dyadic interactions. We will obtain individual levels of steroid hormones, personality traits, general cognitive as well as socio-emotional abilities to test if these factors can explain tendencies in social decision making. We will continuously record eye-movement and use automated video analyses of facial expressions to align these recordings with brain potentials, providing insight into the encoding, decoding and integration of social cues in interactive dyadic decision making.
