Advancing the neuroscience of social emotions with social immersion

Sören Krach et al. Behav Brain Sci. 2013 Aug.

Abstract

Second-person neuroscience offers a framework for the study of social emotions, such as embarrassment and pride. However, we propose that an enduring mental representation of oneself in relation to others without a continuous direct social interaction is possible. We call this state "social immersion" and will explain its impact on the neuroscience of social emotions.
