Based on a developed version of the theory of event coding (TEC), we suggest that people represent themselves and others just like other, non--social events. We will use virtual reality to test three assumptions of our approach: whether people are more likely to integrate representations of themselves and of others if there is more feature-overlap between self and other, if overlapping feature dimensions are primed by current task relevance, and whether people have cognitive control over the degree to which self-other integration takes place. 13 experiments are planned to test these assumptions, three in collaboration with other groups. Participants will be confronted with avatars in virtual space that share either many or few features with them, and they will be able to control the behavior of the avatar to different degrees. Predictions are that perceived agency, ownership, and the migration of features between avatar and participant, such as mood or gender stereotypes, will be enhanced if the behavior of the avatar is synchronized with the behavior of the participant, if the feature overlap is more pronounced, if the overlapping features are made relevant by task demands, and if the metacontrol state of the participant is biased towards an integrative state.

基于事件编码理论（TEC）的发展版本，我们认为人们就像其他非社会事件一样代表自己和他人。我们将使用虚拟现实来测试我们的方法的三个假设：如果自我和他人之间有更多的特征重叠，如果重叠的特征维度由当前任务相关性引发，人们是否更有可能整合自己和他人的表征，以及人们是否对自我-他人整合发生的程度有认知控制。计划进行13个实验来验证这些假设，其中三个是与其他小组合作进行的。参与者将在虚拟空间中面对与他们共享或多或少特征的化身，他们将能够在不同程度上控制化身的行为。预测是，感知代理，所有权，以及头像和参与者之间的功能迁移，如情绪或性别刻板印象，将得到增强，如果头像的行为与参与者的行为同步，如果功能重叠更明显，如果重叠的功能是相关的任务需求，如果参与者的元控制状态偏向于一个综合状态。
