Studies have shown that gentle imitation usually acts as a 'social glue' in human relationships, fostering rapport and trust. Two people who like each other will strengthen their bond by unconsciously mirroring each other's mannerism in a subtle way, such as leaning forward in close synchrony.

研究显示，有分寸的模仿行为可以作为一项“万能的社交准则”应用在社交场所中，以此博得彼此的信任。都说两个人倘若发现彼此之间有相似、相同点，或者说共同的爱好，可以增加彼此的认同感，比如说模仿对方交谈过程中的说话姿势--向前倾斜等等。

But in recent years, mirroring has been used as conscious strategy by people who want to succeed in business. However, the new research suggests this could cost your reputation and refraining from imitation might be a more shrewd move. The study was undertaken by the University of California's psychology department and other philosophers. Piotr Winkielman, a professor of psychology at the university in San Diego, said: 'Mimicry is a crucial part of social intelligence. But it is not enough to simply know how to mimic. 'It's also important to know when and when not to. The success of mirroring depends on mirroring the right people at the right time for the right reasons. Sometimes the socially intelligent thing to do is not to imitate.'

然而，在近几年，那些在商业上希望获得成功的人越来越倾向使用这种“社交方法”来取得认同，然而结果却遭致名誉的损伤以及适得其反的效果。来自加里福利亚大学的心理学家结果分析后，心理学教授Piotr Winkielman说：“模仿可以作为一种社交礼节而被广泛认同，然而单纯的模仿是远远不够的，要把握时机、要懂得如何掌握火候，找到正确的对象进行交谈，这好比谈恋爱，要在对的时间、对的地点、碰到对的人，才能让感情维持得更长久。”
