abstract   bibtex   
[first paragraph] One significant feature of human life is our psychological interdependence. To greater or lesser extents, and across diverse cultural contexts, our cognitive and affective states are related to those of others around us. We act alongside and share experiences with partners, family members, friends, workmates, and other people with whom we are connected in our daily lives. And as a result, what each of us feels and remembers, what matters to each of us about the present and the past, and the way we imagine and plan for the future, can be influenced by what those others feel, remember, and care about. This occurs in the moment, when my emotions or moods, my decisions or thoughts, are modulated by the actions or reactions, judgments, or evaluations of someone close to me. But it also happens over time, and in many cases over years, decades, or lifetimes. Such interdependence does not mean that we think, remember, or feel the same way about things. In many cases, it matters greatly to me when the emotions or memories of someone I care about differ from my own. Our psychological lives can in certain circumstances be interdependent and mutually influencing, to different degrees and in different ways integrated with each other, whether or not the precise content or style of our thoughts, memories, and feelings happens to match.
