Communication is crucial in constructing the relationship between students and advisers, ultimately bridging interpersonal interactions. Only a few studies however explore the communication between postgraduate students and advisers. To fill the gaps in the empirical researches, this study uses functional near-infrared spectroscopy (FNIRS) techniques to explore the neurophysiology differences in brain activation of postgraduates with different adviser-advise relationships during simulated communication with their advisers. Results showed significant differences in the activation of the prefrontal cortex between high-quality and the low-quality students during simulating and when communicating with advisers, specifically in the Broca's areas, the frontal pole, and the orbitofrontal and dorsolateral prefrontal cortices. This further elucidated the complex cognitive process of communication between graduate students and advisers.
沟通在构建学生和导师之间的关系中至关重要,最终架起人际互动的桥梁。然而,很少有研究探索研究生和导师之间的沟通。为了填补实证研究中的空白,本研究使用功能近红外光谱(FNIRS)技术来探索在与导师模拟沟通期间,具有不同导师-指导关系的研究生的大脑激活的神经生理学差异。结果表明,在模拟和与导师沟通期间,高质量学生和低质量学生的前额叶皮层的激活存在显著差异,特别是在布罗卡氏区、额极和眶额及背外侧前额叶皮层。这进一步阐明了研究生和导师之间沟通的复杂认知过程。
