1. A method comprising:
monitoring, via control circuitry, a mental state of a user while a media asset is being generated for display, wherein the media asset comprises a plurality of events;
detecting a change in the mental state of the user at a first progression point of the media asset;
in response to detecting the change in the mental state of the user:
transmitting, to a server, a request for information relating to a plurality of other users who have experienced a change in mental state during presentation of the media asset;
receiving information relating to a subset of the plurality of other users who have experienced the change in mental state within a time interval of the first progression point;
determining whether a number of the subset of the plurality of other users is greater than a social watching threshold; and
in response to determining that the number of the subset of the plurality of other users is greater than the social watching threshold, determining that the change in the mental state of the user is related to an occurrence of an event of the media asset corresponding to the first progression point.
