Self-partner inclusion predicts performance of romantically involved individuals in a body-scaled action-anticipation task.

Previous research has shown that romantic relationships can lead to the cognitive inclusion of a romantic partner into one's own self-representation, resulting in blurred boundaries between self and intimate other. Recent work suggests that this self-other integration process encompasses the tw...
