人们在日常交往中模仿彼此的动作和姿势。人们普遍认为,这种模仿起到了社交粘合剂的作用,增进了人与人之间的融洽关系。我们提出了两项使用虚拟现实的研究来严格检验这一假设。在研究1中,50名参与者与两个虚拟人物互动,这些虚拟人物要么模仿他们的头部和躯干动作,要么在1或3秒的延迟时间内不模仿,并评估对虚拟人物的融洽感和信任感。模仿虚拟形象的人的亲和力更高,没有时间的影响。在研究2中,我们的目标是在预注册设计中复制这一效应,并测试它是否受到文化群内群外边界的调节。40名来自欧洲或东亚背景的参与者与四个虚拟形象互动,其中两个是欧洲人的形象,另两个是东亚人的形象。两个角色会模仿,而另外两个则不会。我们发现,在一个新的迷宫任务中,模仿对融洽关系、信任等级或内隐信任行为没有影响,对群体地位或互动也没有影响。这些无效结果是根据我们的预注册计算的。我们得出的结论是,被模仿并不总是会增加融洽或信任,并为未来的发展方向提出建议。
People mimic each other’s actions and postures during everyday interactions. It is widely believed this mimicry acts as a social glue, leading to increased rapport. We present two studies using virtual reality to rigorously test this hypothesis. In Study 1, 50 participants interacted with two avatars who either mimicked their head and torso movements at a 1 or 3 second time delay or did not mimic, and rated feelings of rapport and trust toward the avatars. Rapport was higher towards mimicking avatars, with no effect of timing. In Study 2, we aimed to replicate this effect in a pre-registered design and test whether it is modulated by cultural ingroup-outgroup boundaries. Forty participants from European or East Asian backgrounds interacted with four avatars, two of European appearance and two of East Asian appearance. Two avatars mimicked while the other two did not. We found no effects of mimicry on rapport or trust ratings or implicit trust behaviour in a novel maze task, and no effects of group status or interactions. These null results were calculated in line with our pre-registration. We conclude that being mimicked does not always increase rapport or trust, and make suggestions for future directions.
