Emotions have been extensively investigated by different disciplines, highlighting their fundamental role in individuals’ cognitive, social and behavioral processes. In light of this evidence, the present doctoral thesis aims to investigate, through the use of a multimetodological approach characterized by the use of electroencephalography (EEG), functional Near-Infrared Spectroscopy (fNIRS), and biofeedback, the role and influence of emotions in different contexts of social life, passing from an “intra-subjective” to an “inter-subjective” perspective. Specifically, the first study has investigated the implicit and explicit neurophysiological correlates of emotional responses characterizing moral decision-making in single individuals. The second study, through the use of the hyperscanning paradigm, has observed the neurophysiological correlates and the brain and peripheral tuning mechanisms associated with emotional responses of interacting individuals during a prosocial exchange. Finally, the third study has investigated the neurophysiological correlates and emotional synthonization mechanisms underlying a non-verbal communicative interaction. In conclusion, the three studies set out to observe, adopting an increasing level of complexity, from a single individual to a dyadic perspective, how using a multimetodological approach can inform about the implicit and explicit mechanisms of emotional responses during different social situations.
Le emozioni sono state largamente indagate da discipline differenti che ne hanno evidenziato il ruolo fondamentale nei processi cognitivi, sociali e comportamentali degli individui. Alla luce di queste evidenze, la presente tesi di dottorato si è proposta di indagare, attraverso l’utilizzo di un approccio multimetodologico caratterizzato dall’uso di elettroencefalografia (EEG), spettroscopia funzionale nel vicino infrarosso (fNIRS) e biofeedback, il ruolo e l’influenza delle emozioni in differenti contesti di vita sociale, passando da una prospettiva “intra-soggettiva” ad una “inter-soggettiva”. Nello specifico, il primo studio ha indagato i correlati neurofisiologici impliciti ed espliciti delle risposte emotive caratterizzanti la presa di decisione morale nel singolo individuo. Il secondo studio, attraverso l’utilizzo dell’hyperscanning, ha osservato i correlati neurofisiologici e i meccanismi di sintonizzazione cerebrale e periferica associati alle risposte emotive di individui interagenti durante uno scambio prosociale. Infine, il terzo studio ha investigato i correlati neurofisiologici e i meccanismi di sintonizzazione emotiva sottostanti un’interazione comunicativa non-verbale. In conclusione, i tre studi si sono proposti di osservare, adottando un livello crescente di complessità, da una prospettiva sul singolo individuo ad una diadica, come l’utilizzo di un approccio multimetodologico possa informare sui meccanismi impliciti ed espliciti delle risposte emotive durante differenti situazioni sociali.

Abstract
Emotions have been extensively investigated by different disciplines, highlighting their fundamental role in individuals’ cognitive, social and behavioral processes. In light of this evidence, the present doctoral thesis aims to investigate, through the use of a multimetodological approach characterized by the use of electroencephalography (EEG), functional Near-Infrared Spectroscopy (fNIRS), and biofeedback, the role and influence of emotions in different contexts of social life, passing from an “intra-subjective” to an “inter-subjective” perspective. Specifically, the first study has investigated the implicit and explicit neurophysiological correlates of emotional responses characterizing moral decision-making in single individuals. The second study, through the use of the hyperscanning paradigm, has observed the neurophysiological correlates and the brain and peripheral tuning mechanisms associated with emotional responses of interacting individuals during a prosocial exchange. Finally, the third study has investigated the neurophysiological correlates and emotional synthonization mechanisms underlying a non-verbal communicative interaction. In conclusion, the three studies set out to observe, adopting an increasing level of complexity, from a single individual to a dyadic perspective, how using a multimetodological approach can inform about the implicit and explicit mechanisms of emotional responses during different social situations.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
