“…[…] Alba is not averse to the idea of the bridge (nor is she in favor of it) and she usually takes care of the kind of duties that the community has assigned to her. The only thing that matters for her is that the community decided in favor of building the bridge, which can be phrased as (from Alba’s perspective): we intend to build the bridge ( Salice and Satne, 2020 , p. 615).…”

This paper investigates the role of group identification in empathic emotion and its behavioral consequences. Our central idea is that group identification is the key to understanding the process in which empathic emotion causes helping behavior. Empathic emotion causes helping behavior because it involves group identification, which motivates helping behavior toward other members. This paper focuses on a hypothesis, which we call “self-other merging hypothesis (SMH),” according to which empathy-induced helping behavior is due to the “merging” between the helping agent and the helped agent. We argue that SMH should be interpreted in terms of group identification. The group identification interpretation of SMH is both behaviorally adequate (i.e., successfully predicts and explains the helping behavior in the experimental settings) and psychologically plausible (i.e., does not posit psychologically unrealistic beliefs, desires, etc.). Empathy-induced helping behavior, according to the group identification interpretation of the SMH, does not fit comfortably into the traditional egoism/altruism dichotomy. We thus propose a new taxonomy according to which empathy-induced helping behavior is both altruistic at the individual level and egoistic at the group level.

“… 11 Although it exceeds the purposes of this paper to elaborate on this, it merits attention that one of us has argued that we-intentionality developmentally precedes joint intentionality [see ( 27 , 28 , 38 , 59 ); for a similar view, see ( 41 )]. …”

“…In actual practice, this might well be the case, but this possibility still remains contingent on the following, namely, that members are licensed to do so only under the understanding that both of them have reneged on the commitment toward their goal. Often, that understanding remains tacit, but this is simply because the members typically know each other well and consider this procedure for dissolving the commitment permissible [see on this in ( 38 )].…”

Disturbances of Shared Intentionality in Schizophrenia and Autism

Schizophrenia and autism are today considered complex spectrum disorders characterized by difficulties in social behavior. Drawing on recent advances in collective or shared intentionality studies, we present a novel theoretical approach to these social difficulties by exploring them from the angle of shared intentionality. We begin by describing two forms of shared intentionality: joint intentionality and we-intentionality. Joint intentionality crucially relies on the agents' mentalizing abilities such as mind reading and the ability to factor in (or “to be moved” by) their partner's intentions in deliberation and action planning. By contrast, we-intentionality relies on the agents' capacity to understand themselves as group members and to adopt the group's perspective. In schizophrenia spectrum disorders, we propose that joint intentionality remains unaffected, but we-intentionality may be impaired. In severe autism spectrum disorder (i.e., infantile autism), we propose that both forms of shared intentionality are impaired. We suggest that the source of the problems affecting we-intentionality in schizophrenia spectrum disorders lies primarily in trait-like, anomalous self-experiences. In severe autism spectrum disorder, we suggest that problems with mind reading, the ability to “be moved” by others' intentions, and with the capacity for perspective-taking impede both forms of shared intentionality.
