I-sharing, or believing one has the same in-the-moment experience as another person, constitutes a specific way in which people may share reality. I-sharing research underscores its significance for interpersonal and intergroup outcomes. I-sharing fosters liking for people who differ from us in objective and sometimes important ways, and counteracts robust tendencies to favor ingroup members and dehumanize outgroup members. Research and theory indicate that existential isolation-feeling alone in one's experience-explains the potency of I-sharing, insofar as people with high levels of existential isolation are especially drawn to those with whom they have reason to believe they I-share. Recent findings are reviewed, followed by a discussion of the clinical implications of the work.
I-分享,或者相信一个人与另一个人有相同的即时体验,构成了人们分享现实的一种特定方式。I-分享研究强调了它对人际和群体结果的重要性。I-分享促进了对与我们在客观上存在差异的人(有时在重要方面存在差异)的喜爱,并抵制了强烈的偏向内群体成员和将外群体成员非人化的倾向。研究和理论表明,存在孤立感——在自己的体验中感到孤独——解释了 I-分享的强大作用,因为存在高度存在孤立感的人特别容易被那些他们有理由相信他们有 I-分享的人所吸引。本文回顾了最近的研究结果,并讨论了这项工作的临床意义。
