Abstract
Spontaneous mimicry and effects on liking and metaperception of liking: Social Relations Model analyses (n=139) revealed differences between people in being mimickers, leading to popularity-gains, but small differences for mimicry evoker. Initial liking led to mimicry, increasing liking of the mimicker as well as the partner’s feeling of being liked.
