Lipps（1907）提出了一种同理心模型，该模型对以后的配方产生了重要影响。根据Lipp的说法，个人倾向于模仿互动伙伴的行为，而这种非语言模仿引起了VIA的反馈过程 - 观察者中相应的情感状态。据信，由此产生的共同影响可以促进对观察到的人的自我的理解。本研究以情感面部表情的判断进行了测试。结果证实了个人模仿情绪表情，并且面部表情的解码伴随着共同的影响。但是，没有发现模仿介导的情绪识别精度或共同影响的证据。然而，发现自愿模仿对观察者对观察者的人格的评估的影响有限，讨论了这些结果对Lipps的原始假设的含义。
Lipps (1907) presented a model of empathy which had an important influence on later formulations. According to Lipps, individuals tend to mimic an interaction partner's behavior, and this nonverbal mimicry induces-via a feedback process-the corresponding affective state in the observer. The resulting shared affect is believed to foster the understanding of the observed person's self. The present study tested this model in the context of judgments of emotional facial expressions. The results confirm that individuals mimic emotional facial expressions, and that the decoding of facial expressions is accompanied by shared affect. However, no evidence that emotion recognition accuracy or shared affect are mediated by mimicry was found. Yet, voluntary mimicry was found to have some limited influence on observer's assessment of the observed person's personality The implications of these results with regard to Lipps' original hypothesis are discussed.
