  • Have you ever wondered what would happen if you swapped bodies with your best friend? In a recent study conducted by the Karolinska Institute in Sweden, pairs of friends were fitted with goggles that showed a live first-person perspective feed of their friend's body. Simultaneous touches were applied on subjects' corresponding body parts, creating the illusion that they were really feeling what they saw in the goggles. The researchers found that the subjects' beliefs about their own personality became more similar to how they viewed their friend's personality. This suggests that their sense of self changed. To further validate these findings, the researchers decided to threaten the subject's friend with a prop knife. In response, the subjects broke out into a sweat as if they were the ones being threatened. These results provide insight into the relationship between one's physical and psychological sense of self. It appears that stepping into someone else's shoes, even temporarily, can have a profound impact on our own perception of ourselves.
  • Subtitles section
  • Hey, Psych2Goers, welcome back to our channel.
  • Have you ever wondered what would happen if you swapped bodies with your best friend?
  • I mean, we're not in a science fiction novel, but we can wonder.
  • How could you view your friend now having taken a step into their shoes?
  • Would your sense of self change?
  • Well, that may very well happen.
  • At least that's what research suggests in a study where pairs of friends swapped bodies in a perceptual illusion.
  • The study from Karolinska Institute in Sweden found that the subject's beliefs about their own personality became more similar to how they viewed their friend's personality.
  • Their sense of self changed.
  • The study was conducted by a team of researchers from the Brain, Body, and Self Laboratory led by Henrik Arsambi.
  • The researchers wanted to understand the relationship between one's physical and psychological sense of self.
  • In order to simulate the effect of two friends swapping bodies, researchers fitted pairs of friends with goggles that showed a live first-person perspective feed of their friend's body.
  • Researchers then applied simultaneous touches on subjects' corresponding body parts, providing the illusion that they were really feeling what they saw in the goggles.
  • Just a few moments later, participants felt as if they had woken up in someone else's body, according to the researchers from Brain, Body, and Self Laboratory.
  • Researchers wanted to prove this further, so they decided threatening the subject's friend with a knife was the best way to go.
  • A prop knife, that is.
  • Still a bit harsh, doc.
  • Once the subjects felt their friend and seemingly their present body was in danger, they broke out into a sweat as if they were the one being threatened.
  • Not only did their body react to the danger their friend was in, but swapping bodies also affected the participants' confidence.
  • Each subject's cheerfulness, talkativeness, and confidence were affected, often matching their friend's traits instead of their own.
  • The friend's self-perception and beliefs about their own personality also changed.
  • We found that during the perceptual friend-body swap illusion, participants rated their own personality characteristics more similar to the way they previously rated their friend's personality.
  • Post-doctoral researcher and first author, Pavel Tukhikovsky, told ZME Science, this main finding suggests that our beliefs about own personality, self-concept, are flexibly adjusted to the perception of our body,
  • Bodily self, in order to provide a coherent sense of self in a current situation.
  • The research, which was published in the journal, iScience, also affected subjects' memory.
  • It's commonly known that humans are better at remembering things relevant to themselves as opposed to others.
  • So when someone's mental self-concept doesn't match their physical self, their memory performance can decrease.
  • The researchers plan to develop the technique further with hopes to use it for certain clinical applications, such as treating psychiatric disorders, including depression.
  • Besides pure curiosity, neuroscientist Tukhikovsky says he researches the sense of self for reasons that are clinically relevant, saying, some psychiatric disorders like depersonalization disorder or schizophrenia are related to atypical experiences of one's own self.
  • My goal as a cognitive neuroscientist is to formulate a general model of the self-representation at different levels to help develop new treatments.
  • So what did you think of this study?
