Based on current research, it is evident that the way people see themselves is shaped by their conversation partners. Historically, this literature focuses on how one individual's expectations can shape another person's self-views. Given the reciprocal nature of conversation, we wondered whether conversation partners' self-views may mutually evolve. Using four-person round-robin conversation networks, we found that participants tended to have more similar self-views post-conversation than pre-conversation, an effect we term "inter-self alignment." Further, the more two partners' self-views aligned, the more they enjoyed their conversation and were inclined to interact again. This effect depended on both conversation partners becoming aligned. These findings suggest that the way we see ourselves is coauthored in the act of dialogue and that as shared self-views develop, the desire to continue the conversation increases.
基于目前的研究，很明显，人们如何看待自己是由他们的对话伙伴塑造的。从历史上看，这一文献主要关注的是一个人的期望如何塑造另一个人的自我观念。鉴于对话的相互性，我们想知道对话伙伴的自我观念是否可能相互演变。我们使用四人循环对话网络发现，与对话前相比，参与者在对话后往往有更相似的自我观念，我们将这种效应称为“互自我一致”。此外，两个伙伴的自我观念越一致，他们就越喜欢他们的对话，并倾向于再次互动。这种效果取决于对话伙伴双方的一致。这些发现表明，我们看待自己的方式是在对话的过程中共同创作的，随着共同自我观念的发展，继续对话的愿望也会增加。
