Abstract

Many mechanisms of social bonding are common to all primates, but humans seemingly have developed some that are unique to the species. These involve various kinds of interactive experiences-from taking a walk together to having a conversation-whose common feature is the triadic sharing of experience. Current theories of social bonding have no explanation for why humans should have these unique bonding mechanisms. Here we propose a shared intentionality account of uniquely human social bonding. Humans evolved to participate with others in unique forms of cooperative and communicative activities that both depend on and create shared experience. Sharing experience in these activities causes partners to feel closer because it allows them to assess their partner's cooperative competence and motivation toward them and because the shared representations created during such interactions make subsequent cooperative interactions easier and more effective.

人类独特社会关系的共同意向性描述。

许多社会联系机制在所有灵长类动物中都是常见的，但人类似乎已经发展出了一些物种特有的机制。这些包括各种互动体验，从一起散步到进行对话，其共同特点是三元经验共享。目前的社会联系理论无法解释为什么人类应该拥有这些独特的联系机制。在这里，我们提出了一个关于独特的人类社会纽带的共同意向性描述。人类进化为与他人一起参与独特形式的合作和交流活动，这些活动既依赖于共享经验，又创造了共享经验。分享这些活动中的经验会让合作伙伴感觉更亲密，因为这可以让他们评估合作伙伴对他们的合作能力和动机，也因为在这种互动过程中创建的共享表征使后续的合作互动更容易、更有效。

期刊介绍： Perspectives on Psychological Science is a journal that publishes a diverse range of articles and reports in the field of psychology. The journal includes broad integrative reviews, overviews of research programs, meta-analyses, theoretical statements, book reviews, and articles on various topics such as the philosophy of science and opinion pieces about major issues in the field. It also features autobiographical reflections of senior members of the field, occasional humorous essays and sketches, and even has a section for invited and submitted articles. The impact of the journal can be seen through the reverberation of a 2009 article on correlative analyses commonly used in neuroimaging studies, which still influences the field. Additionally, a recent special issue of Perspectives, featuring prominent researchers discussing the "Next Big Questions in Psychology," is shaping the future trajectory of the discipline. Perspectives on Psychological Science provides metrics that showcase the performance of the journal. However, the Association for Psychological Science, of which the journal is a signatory of DORA, recommends against using journal-based metrics for assessing individual scientist contributions, such as for hiring, promotion, or funding decisions. Therefore, the metrics provided by Perspectives on Psychological Science should only be used by those interested in evaluating the journal itself.
