Neural and behavioral alterations of a real-time interpersonal distance (IPD) development process in differing social status interactions.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Evidence showed neural changes in interpersonal distance (IPD) interaction, and neural activities are affected by relationships (such as friends or strangers). Behavior studies proved that social status strongly affects IPD between two persons. However, how the differing social status impacts neural alterations in the IPD interactions remains unknown.

Objectives

The teacher-student relationship is a typical representation of the difference in social status. The present study aims to investigate the IPD performance and brain processes underlying real-time differing social status during the development process from teacher-student interactions.

Materials and methods

We designed three within-subject experiments corresponding to the inclusion, control, and affe
