Effects of self vs. other on state similarity by target. Box plots represent the distributions of average similarity between states within self, close, and far target people. a In Study 1, and b Study 2, state similarity was measured via correlating patterns of brain activity. c In Study 3, and d Study 4, state similarity was measured by explicit behavioral ratings. Centerline indicates median, boxes indicate interquartile range, and whiskers indicate 1.5 times the interquartile range. Asterisks denote statistically significant differences between pairs of conditions (p < 0.05), as measured by t-tests (Studies 1 and 2) or mixed effects models (Studies 3 and 4)
