abstract = {Humans often benefit from social cues when learning about
the world. For instance, learning about threats from others
can save the individual from dangerous first-hand
experiences. Familiarity is believed to increase the
effectiveness of social learning, but it is not clear
whether it plays a role in learning about threats. Using
functional magnetic resonance imaging, we undertook a
naturalistic approach and investigated whether there was a
difference between observational fear learning from friends
and strangers. Participants (observers) witnessed either
their friends or strangers (demonstrators) receiving
aversive (shock) stimuli paired with colored squares
(observational learning stage). Subsequently, participants
watched the same squares, but without receiving any shocks
(direct-expression stage). We observed a similar pattern of
brain activity in both groups of observers. Regions related
to threat responses (amygdala, anterior insula, anterior
cingulate cortex) and social perception (fusiform gyrus,
posterior superior temporal sulcus) were activated during
the observational phase, possibly reflecting the emotional
contagion process. The anterior insula and anterior
cingulate cortex were also activated during the subsequent
stage, indicating the expression of learned threat. Because
there were no differences between participants observing
friends and strangers, we argue that social threat learning
is independent of the level of familiarity with the
demonstrator.},
