AboutAbout the lab
Exploring the mind and society through changing connections
The Igarashi Lab studies phenomena produced by the dynamics between the human mind and the social environment, using approaches from social psychology, social network analysis, and computational social science.
Its main theme is "how the way people relate to society is influenced by their interpersonal environment," and it examines how people behave within social networks.
In recent years, the lab has been working on the relationship between loneliness and social connections.
For those who wish to go on to graduate school, the lab's website asks them to make an appointment with Prof. Igarashi in advance.
ResearchResearch themes
The lab investigates the dynamics between the human mind and the social environment, using approaches from social psychology, social network analysis, and computational social science. Its research projects center on longitudinal changes in the structure of social networks and on the cognitive processes involved in perceiving social networks.
Behavior within Social Networks
The lab studies how the structure of social networks changes over time, how people remember the structure of their networks, and what psychological and social effects come from belonging to multiple communities.
How Loneliness and Isolation Deepen
Together with researchers inside and outside the university, the lab studied the process by which people who are prone to feeling lonely become isolated in remote interactions and grow even lonelier (FY2021–2025). A longitudinal survey of university freshmen found that as loneliness increases, people become more active in choosing their partners and tend to choose partners with a similar level of loneliness.
Stereotypes about Lonely People
The lab focuses on the process by which people with high levels of loneliness are seen through stereotypes by those around them and become even more isolated. Together with researchers inside and outside the university, it works to clarify the psychological mechanisms by which such stereotypes spread within social networks.
