Evidence for Overlap Hubs of Negative Emotions
Note: The conjunction map (N = 89) for meta-analytic anger, disgust, fear, and sadness discovery maps. Yellow indicates
spatial overlap for all negative emotion maps. Light orange indicates spatial overlap for three of the four maps. Orange
indicates spatial overlap for two of the maps. Red indicates no spatial overlap.

Mirror neurons
• A mirror neuron is a neuron that fires both when an
animal acts and when the animal observes the same
action performed by another.
• Neuroscientists such as Marco Iacoboni (UCLA) have
argued that mirror neuron systems in the human brain
help us understand the actions and intentions of other
people.
• Human self-awareness (theory of mind), empathy,
autism….?

Social Contagion Occurs Face-To-Face as well
as on the Internet
• “We show, via a massive (N =
689,003) experiment on Facebook,
that emotional states can be
transferred to others via emotional
contagion, leading people to
experience the same emotions
without their awareness,” (Kramer,
Guillory & Hancock, 2014, p.8788)
