Hyperscanning Study on Social Exclusion and Cooperation in University Students

24 dyads of college students participated in a study using fNIRS hyperscanning to examine the impact of face-to-face social exclusion on interpersonal cooperation. The dataset includes subjective experience ratings, behavioral data from a Prisoner's Dilemma task, and interpersonal neural synchronization (INS) measurements. It was authored by Huiling Wang and last updated on 2026-05-25.

Use Cases

• Analyzing the relationship between social exclusion and defection reaction times based on behavioral task data.
• Investigating channel-specific differences in interpersonal neural synchronization (INS) between exclusion and inclusion groups.
• Modeling the mediating role of state self-esteem on the link between social exclusion and defection decisions.
• Correlating subjective measures like trust and intimacy with objective cooperation and defection rates.

Strengths

• Data integrates psychological, behavioral, and neural measures from 24 dyads.
• Uses a specific face-to-face rejection paradigm and the Prisoner's Dilemma task.
• Published under the CC-BY-4.0 license, allowing for open reuse.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• The dataset is small at 98.3 KB, indicating limited scope.
