Mimicry for Building Rapport and Cooperation
Mimicry, both facial and behavioral, plays a crucial role in building and enhancing rapport and cooperation in social interactions. Facial mimicry involves copying someone's expressions, while behavioral mimicry refers to imitating their actions or postures. Mimicry is driven by unconscious forces and serves as a social glue, creating closer and harmonious relationships. Research suggests that higher levels of mimicry are associated with increased rapport and liking. However, it is important to mimic within a specific time frame of 3 to 7 seconds to avoid potential negative effects. Mimicry is particularly effective in established relationships and is linked to empathy and emotional contagion. Individuals who have difficulty reading facial expressions, such as those with autism, may struggle with mimicry unless they are guided to focus on the right cues.
