Forskningsprojekt
- Grundläggande mekanismer för inlärning av hot och säkerhet (utsläckning)
- Social inlärning genom t.ex. observation eller instruktion
- Social interaktion och beslutsfattande
- Inverkan av social kognition på emotionell inlärning
- Utveckling av experimentella modeller för inlärning och psykologisk behandling

Observational Fear Conditioning Procedure
The Observational Fear Conditioning Protocol är ett paradigm för att undersöka socialt inlärda rädsloresponser. Detta protokoll är ett lämpligt alternativ till det ofta använda paradigmet för Pavloviansk rädsloinlärning, där rädsloresponer lärs in via direktupplevelser. I Observational Fear Conditioning Protocol iakttar deltagaren (observatören) en demonstratör som presenteras för ett betingat stimulus (CS) parat med ett aversivt obetingat stimulus (US).

The Karolinska Directed Emotional Faces (KDEF)
Om KDEF
Karolinska Directed Emotional Faces (KDEF) är en uppsättning av totalt 4900 bilder av mänskliga ansiktsuttryck av känslor. Materialet utvecklades 1998 av Daniel Lundqvist, Anders Flykt och professor Arne Öhman vid ̽ѡ, Institutionen för klinisk neurovetenskap, Avdelningen för psykologi, Stockholm, Sverige.
Materialet utvecklades ursprungligen för att användas för psykologiska och medicinska forskningsändamål. Mer specifikt utvecklades materialet för att vara särskilt lämpligt för studier av perception, uppmärksamhet, känsla, minne och bakåtmaskning. Därför lades särskilt fokus på att skapa mjuka bilder med jämn ljusstyrka, där uttryck fotograferas från flera vinklar. Därtill används enhetliga T-shirtfärger och ett rutnät för att centrera deltagarnas ansikte under fotografering, och ögon och munnar placeras i fasta bildkoordinater under skanning.
Uppsättningen består av 70 individer som var och en visar 7 olika känslomässiga uttryck, där varje uttryck fotograferas (två gånger) från 5 olika vinklar.

Philip awarded Swedish Research Council grant
November 4, 2020
Philip has been awarded 3.2 MSEK to study how decisions and social learning shape intergroup trust.
Trust is fundamental to social behavior and to the functioning of society. Recent work has shown that increasing diversity in society might lead to lower levels of trust. However, how such changes in trust are acquired by individuals and shaped by their experiences is not known. Here we propose to investigate trust as a learning phenomenon, using methods and theories from experimental social psychology and computational reinforcement learning theory. By doing so we address a critical gap in the literature and contribute a behavior-based approach to studying a trust complementing existing survey-based methods. Over the course of three studies we will investigate how participants learn to trust and distrust social partners based on their own and their partners’ ethnic group membership. In the first, we will investigate how decisions about whom to interact with can bias what experiences are available to learn from. In the second, we will investigate the role of observational social learning shaping trust expectations. In the third, we will leverage insights from the first two studies to pilot interventions aimed at increasing trust. The studies will be the first of their kind taking a comprehensive learning approach to trust between members of different ethnic groups and provide critical information how individual experiences shape intergroup trust. These findings can, in turn, not only inform existing theoretical debates but further translational efforts targeting societal trust.
