Sociality mental modes (i.e., market mode primed by money cues and communal mode primed by eye gaze) refer to the ways people interact with others in distinct manners(individuals are inclined to share resources with others regardless of the personal costs and benefits in the communal mode but have a personal relationship with others based on cost-benefit ratios in the market mode), and they affect social interaction and even affect the subjective experience. The sense of agency (SoA) is a subjective experience of one’s degree of control over external events. But little is known about the influence of sociality mental modes on the SoA. Previous studies have shown that social exclusion reduces the SoA. Here, we examined whether sociality mental modes affect the sense of agency by intentional binding paradigm and 9-point Likert scale (experiment 1) in social contexts by priming social exclusion and social inclusion through a recall task (experiment 2). The results showed that in social exclusion conditions, the market mode group had a shorter estimate of time, and the communal mode group had a higher rating of agency than the control group. This study demonstrates that social inclusion context improves the explicit sense of agency. In the context of social exclusion and inclusion, the market mode enhances the implicit sense of agency, that is, pursuing money; the communal mode reduces the explicit sense of agency, that is, seeking reputation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
