We are interested in exploring, by means of psychological experiments and surveys, the psychological mechanisms underlying human communications. In particular, we are investigating (1) how people share emotional states of others; (2) how people read the minds of others; and (3) what factors motivate us to help others. We aim to contribute to the development of effective interventions towards the enhancement of human social skills.
