Based on a developed version of the theory of event coding (TEC), we suggest that people represent themselves and others just like other, non--social events. We will use virtual reality to test three assumptions of our approach: whether people are more likely to integrate representations of themselves and of others if there is more feature-overlap between self and other, if overlapping feature dimensions are primed by current task relevance, and whether people have cognitive control over the degree to which self-other integration takes place. 13 experiments are planned to test these assumptions, three in collaboration with other groups. Participants will be confronted with avatars in virtual space that share either many or few features with them, and they will be able to control the behavior of the avatar to different degrees. Predictions are that perceived agency, ownership, and the migration of features between avatar and participant, such as mood or gender stereotypes, will be enhanced if the behavior of the avatar is synchronized with the behavior of the participant, if the feature overlap is more pronounced, if the overlapping features are made relevant by task demands, and if the metacontrol state of the participant is biased towards an integrative state.

根据事件编码理论（TEC）的开发版本，我们建议人们像其他非社会事件一样代表自己和他人。我们将使用虚拟现实来测试我们方法的三个假设：如果自我与其他人之间存在更多的特征，那么人们是否更有可能整合自己和他人的表示，如果重叠的特征维度是由当前的任务相关性所启示的，以及人们是否对自我整合的程度具有认知控制。计划13个实验来测试这些假设，三个与其他小组合作。参与者将面临虚拟空间中与他们共享许多或几个功能的化身，他们将能够在不同程度上控制化身的行为。预测，如果阿凡达（Avatar）的行为与参与者的行为同步，如果特征重叠更加明显，则如果重叠的特征与任务需求相关，则在与参与的情况下相关的是，如果特征重叠更为明显，则可以增强头像和参与者之间的代理机构，所有权和特征的迁移，例如情绪或性别刻板印象。
