The Social Psychology and Network lab at Nagoya University focuses on dynamic processes of human minds and social networks. We tap into a wide range of topics, including cognitive schemata of groups and social networks, social network evolution of friendship and other types of networks, the role of executive functions on community multiplexity in humans, and social selection and influence processes of loneliness in friendship networks.
