Imagined Interaction
Introduces the notion of "imagined interaction" as part of the social cognition process. Imagined interactions serve functions like rehearsal for anticipated encounters, are dominated by the self, and are equally pleasant and unpleasant.
Examined the roles of romantic beliefs and imagined interactions in unrequited love among Chinese college students. Found that more idealized romantic beliefs and having imagined interactions were associated with stronger unrequited love, with the frequency of imagined interactions mediating the relationship.
