The Connection Lab
Details
13:00–15:00 💞 The Connection Lab
How does emotional closeness really form between humans? In this session, we’ll experience it firsthand.
We’ll recreate the famous scientific study “The Experimental Generation of Interpersonal Closeness” by psychologist Arthur Aron and his team — the one that showed how a series of 36 questions can generate real feelings of intimacy between people who’ve just met. You’ll move through this process in pairs, gradually deepening through three stages of questions designed to open curiosity, trust, and vulnerability. Afterward, we’ll share reflections about how it felt and what we noticed in ourselves, along with short theoretical insights about how scientists studied and measured connection and intimacy.
It is a part of the event:
