This study examined the role that self-monitoring plays in behavioral mimicry. Participants were exposed to videotaped targets who were laughing, yawning, frowning, or neutral in their expression. Participants' behavioral mimicry while viewing the targets was recorded. It was hypothesized that higher self-monitors would show greater mimicry than lower self-monitors. It was also hypothesized trial participants would respond differently to positive and negative target expressions. Participants who scored higher in self-monitoring did mimic the targets' behaviors more often, and participants showed less mimicry of frowns than of laughs or yawns. (c) 2006 Elsevier Inc.
