| dc.description | We thank Aleksander Stojkowski, Karolina Mozel, Lotta Dallyn, Anna Korelin, Pinja Suonpaa, Sanni Ringblom, and Maria Sadlowska for their help with data collection. Parts of the data and ideas have previously been presented as a talk at the International Convention of Psychological Science in March 2019, and a poster at the Experiment Society Bournemouth Meeting in July 2019. Impact Statement This study shows that our tendency to focus on ourselves, known as self-bias, is influenced by social situations like competition and group membership, which can lead us to prioritize self-related information. However, simply working alongside others or cooperating without active coordination does not reduce this self-focus. Additionally, even brief interactions with others can make us pay more attention to them, suggesting that small social connections matter. These findings contribute to our understanding of when and how social settings shape our attention to ourselves and others and may help improve teamwork, education, and interactions between different groups.
