Imagined Interaction

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Imagined interactions (IIs) are a type of social cognition and mental imagery grounded in symbolic interactionism in which individuals imagine conversations with significant others for a variety of purposes. The II construct has provided a beneficial mechanism for operationalizing the study of intrapersonal communication. IIs are a type of daydreaming that have definitive attributes and serve a number of functions including rehearsal, self-understanding, relational maintenance, managing conflict, catharsis, and compensation. For example, the conflict management functions explains how deep conflict is difficult to manage in everyday life such that it is hard to "forgive and forget" (Honeycutt & Ford, 2001). Furthermore, imagined interactions can be used in sports imagery as athletes "imagine" positive outcomes of their executions on specific plays or formations. Examples of IIs are prevalent in movies and television in which characters have "flashback" where they recreate prior conversations in their minds. These flashbacks reflect retroactive IIs. Concurrently, people often have proactive IIs in which they forecast what will be happening in future encounters.
