Sense of ownership and agency are two important aspects of the minimal self, but how self-perception is affected by social conditions remains unclear. Here, we studied how social inclusion or exclusion of participants in the course of a virtual Cyberball game would affect explicit judgments and implicit measures of ownership and agency (proprioceptive drift, skin conductance responses, and intentional binding, respectively) in a virtual hand illusion paradigm, in which a virtual hand moved in or out of sync with the participants' own hand. Results show that synchrony affected all four measures. More importantly, this effect interacted with social inclusion/exclusion in the Cyberball game for both ownership and agency measure, showing that social exclusion reduces perceived agency and ownership.
主体感和能动性是最小自我的两个重要方面，但社会条件如何影响自我认知尚不清楚。在这里，我们研究了在虚拟 Cyberball 游戏过程中参与者的社会接纳或排斥如何影响虚拟手错觉范式中所有权和能动性的显性判断和内隐测量（分别为本体感觉漂移、皮肤电反应和意图绑定），在该范式中，虚拟手与参与者自己的手同步或不同步移动。结果表明，同步对所有四个测量指标都有影响。更重要的是，这种效应与 Cyberball 游戏中的社会接纳/排斥相互作用，对所有权和能动性测量都有影响，表明社会排斥会降低感知的能动性和所有权。
