Behavioral mimicry is the copying of another person’s actions and serves interpersonal functions such as facilitating social reciprocity. Although behavioral mimicry is a ubiquitous phenomenon, there are individual differences in the susceptibility to mimic. Participants engaged in an online interaction with an experimenter who performed planned target behaviors. We coded participants’ mimicking behavior, and participants self-reported their trait shyness and focus of attention during the interaction. We found an indirect effect of shyness predicting behavioral mimicry through self-focused attention. Specifically, higher shyness predicted heightened self-focused attention, which in turn was related to a lower likelihood of mimicking. We speculate that shy individuals may experience internally-focused attention during interactions which may impede their likelihood of perceiving and mimicking their partner’s behavior.

社交互动中的害羞、自我关注和行为模仿

行为模仿是对他人行为的复制,并具有人际交往功能,例如促进社会互惠。虽然行为模仿是一种普遍存在的现象,但模仿的敏感性存在个体差异。参与者与执行计划目标行为的实验者进行在线互动。我们对参与者的模仿行为进行了编码,参与者在互动过程中自我报告了他们的害羞特质和注意力集中。我们发现害羞通过自我关注来预测行为模仿的间接影响。具体来说,更高的害羞程度预示着更高的自我关注,这反过来又与更低的模仿可能性有关。
