People spend a great deal of time in the company of others, often without directly communicating. They read the morning paper, listen to music, and ride the metro together. Social life has a quiet side that is ubiquitous, but despite its ubiquity it gets less attention than the louder more raucous side, rife with laughter, conversation, and disagreement. However, silent mouths do not imply silent minds. My dissertation research investigates how individuals' cognitions change when they are simply in the presence of other people. Specifically, I have focused on how co-experiencing an object or event--- simply attending to such things as photographs or food simultaneously with another person---changes the way people evaluate those objects or experiences. We predicted and found that co-experiencing objects leads people to evaluate them more extremely, even when no communication takes place between co-experiencers. We further find that whether or not co-experience results in more extreme judgments depends on the specific social context in which the experience unfolds.

520 $a People spend a great deal of time in the company of others, often without directly communicating. They read the morning paper, listen to music, and ride the metro together. Social life has a quiet side that is ubiquitous, but despite its ubiquity it gets less attention than the louder more raucous side, rife with laughter, conversation, and disagreement. However, silent mouths do not imply silent minds. My dissertation research investigates how individuals' cognitions change when they are simply in the presence of other people. Specifically, I have focused on how co-experiencing an object or event--- simply attending to such things as photographs or food simultaneously with another person---changes the way people evaluate those objects or experiences. We predicted and found that co-experiencing objects leads people to evaluate them more extremely, even when no communication takes place between co-experiencers. We further find that whether or not co-experience results in more extreme judgments depends on the specific social context in which the experience unfolds.
520 $a The first set of two studies (Chapter 2) fords that engaging in a positive experience simultaneously with another person renders the object experienced (chocolate) better liked and more flavorful. It additionally fords that engaging in a negative experience simultaneously with another person makes the object experienced (bitter, unpleasant chocolate) more disliked. The upshot of this set of studies is that doing the same thing at the same time as another person amplifies people's experiences. We additionally find some support for the predictions that engaging in a shared experience increases one's focus on the object being experienced and makes people feel more on the same wavelength as one another.
520 $a The second set of two studies (Chapter 3) finds a moderator of the shared experience amplification effect: the social context in which experiences unfold matters for whether or not those experiences will be amplified. We find that a person doing the same activity as oneself has a greater impact on one's own experience when that person is psychologically close to oneself versus psychologically distant. We found that regardless of whether we manipulated the psychological distance between a participant and a confederate via social distance or spatial distance, chocolate tasted simultaneously was only enjoyed more when co-experiencers were psychologically close.
520 $a The final set of two studies (Chapter 4) establishes greater ecological validity by testing shared experience in a social context in which it tends to occur in everyday life: among friends. We found that, compared to when viewed alone, photographs were enhanced (better liked and seen as more real) when co-experienced with a friend and were dampened (liked less and seen as less real) when co-experienced with a stranger. This paper additionally represents an innovation in relationship science because the extant literature on close relationships has focused almost exclusively on complex forms of socializing that occur among relationship partners (e.g., verbal communication, emotion expression, and behavioral interaction). But much of our lives are spent simply being with close partners, sharing quieter moments together, and it is important to know how these moments affect us too.
520 $a Taken together, these studies suggest that sharing an experience changes the way people evaluate the object they are experiencing by intensifying one's experience, and that their relationship with their co-experience is a critical factor in deteimining whether or not a shared experience will be amplified. People spend much of their lives in the company of others, and even in the absence of direct communication they exert a substantial amount of influence on each other.
