Investigating the neural mechanisms of recreational role-playing associated with the reduction of subclinical anxiety by Wong, Jason Kang Chiang

“…This study thus sought to investigate the neural activations associated with recreational role-playing and subclinical anxiety, and if the former provided therapeutic benefits. 30 dyads were recruited to participate in four within-subjects conditions: (i) baseline, (ii) natural conversation, (iii) simple role-play, (iv) and role-reversal. Functional near-infrared spectroscopy was used to examine brain activity. …”
