Shared Reality is a central concept in social psychology that refers to the mutual understanding and alignment of thoughts, beliefs, and emotions between individuals or groups. It is the psychological mechanism that underpins the human need for connection and shared understanding of the world. At its core, shared reality emerges when individuals perceive their inner thoughts and feelings to be validated and synchronized with those of others, creating a sense of social and epistemic alignment. This shared understanding not only facilitates interpersonal connection but also provides individuals with a sense of validation and certainty about their perceptions, reducing ambiguity and reinforcing their worldview.
