Based on the assumption that confrontation with one¡¯s physical reflection can be aversive, we explored the appeal of possible ¡°escape routes?when incidentally exposed to one¡¯s mirror image. Compared to their no-exposure peers, individuals who felt less chronically ¡°trapped?in their bodies showed increased interest in flow experiences and decreased interest in experiences involving low-level thinking or a subjective sense of meaning when exposed to their reflection. Mirror exposure also increased overall interest in ¡°pure consciousness events,?wherein the transcendence of space and time figures centrally. The aversive effects of even implicit confrontation with one¡¯s reflection therefore seem more diverse than anticipated based on existing frameworks such as Objective Self-Awareness theory, so additional theoretical development seems warranted.
