Construals, consciousness, and connection: How we see the world drives our feelings about other people Emotion and consciousness are intimately connected phenomena. This talk will focus on both reflective and pre-reflective conscious aspects of emotion. The first half of my talk will focus on how the reflective act of naming emotional states can alter pre-reflective emotional states based on fMRI, physiological, and self-report data. The second half of my talk will focus on how we can measure our moment-to-moment pre-reflective subjectivity and how this influences socioemotional outcomes such as feeling connected or disconnected from other people we interact with. Here I will focus on my CEEing Model of how our construals of the world are effortlessly infused with idiosyncratic meaning and will present hyperscanning data from functional near infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) social interaction studies.
