"Chameleon effect" makes a couple of Beijing News weekly of the new knowledge (in order of: today coincides with thin camel teacher dahun. I wish you're lean camel couple and, sweeten. ) Has recently been busy preparing their marriage, and constantly hear people boast of us have "phase" husband and wife. Listen to much, my heart still inevitably willful "Hi", also inevitably biologically turn around and look at the "husband and wife phase" these three words. When parents know several-month-old baby is like a mirror, you ran it ta ta laugh, smile, your tongue, ta ta on the tongue.

This unconscious imitate others movements, facial expressions, accent and even breathing frequency and emotional "chameleon" phenomenon is so rare, but on its scientific examination until the birth until 1999. This year, in the United States the personality and social psychology "journal, New York University of Chiapas the Puntland (TanyaChartrand) and Pavlova (JohnBargh) published important papers. In this article, entitled "chameleon effect: perception — the behavior associated with social interaction on the article, two from New York University psychologist has designed a series of interesting experiments. In the first experiment, the mice were randomly selected (they are the New York University students) is told to enter a room, the room some cut from the magazine. They need to do is follow the teacher's request to pick photos. Mice were worked into the room, the room also has a "child", looks at doing the same thing, but also do some niggly — either Flex face or shaking a leg. Hidden cameras record all, watching all the videos, just the Puntland and buff found that mice are obvious imitation "child care" action, follow the "nursery" catch the face or shaking a leg. In the second experiment, mice were requested with companion (that is, the "child care") mutual description they singled out photos. In half of the test, when the mice were spoken would "child care", imitation of the non-independent mouse movements, facial expressions or emotions; and the other half of the test, the "child care" not-a-half minute pleasures open. After the end of the test, the mice were a questionnaire, was asked to describe the extent of smooth earlier exchanges and like the companion. The result is not surprisingly, the mice were more like those who love to mimic our own "chameleon". The third experiment was crucial. Mice were first fill a psychology scale to test their "empathy", popular to say is to look at them is not that kind of compassion, love and empathy for the human mind. Then these mice are placed into the first experiment in the scene. As a result, the scientists found that more empathy for people obviously easier to imitate others. The conclusion is clear that the person is the "chameleon", people love the "chameleon". "Chameleon effect" make the world a better place. Don't think that this kind of "chameleon effect" is the creator of God to mankind. Last August, the journal nature published a United States animal behavior scientist Bao-can-(AnnikaPaukner) and others, the volume of articles on the tail monkey mimics their humanity demonstrated good law. Bao-can-and colleagues found, and for those not directly imitate monkeys Act's response to these monkeys have more time to watch the mimic their behavior of people, spend more time close to these people, and these people more regular interaction. These researchers also confirmed that mimic the action of mankind won volume tail monkey love, not only because familiarity or monkey perceive their attention of. Volume tail monkey will play with "chameleoneffect" gains a lot, not only making it the most loved animals, and let them become the animal world of the "engineer" — Brazil group volume tail monkey will stone hammer hit the NATA and slate to become one of the few skilled animal use tools. (This scene can be found in the BBC's latest masterpiece to see the life ") if the volume tail monkey doesn't like to imitated, such behavior is hard to pass up. " Chameleon effect" in everyday life the most romantic instance is "phase" husband and wife — who are more and more like the couple is actually mimic each other quietly for a long time. □ Lean camel (Shandong biology researchers)
