Abstract

Mimicking another individual functions as a social glue: it smoothens the interaction and fosters affiliation. Here, we investigated whether the intrinsic motivation to affiliate with others, stemming from attachment relationships, modulates individuals' engagement in facial mimicry (FM). Participants (N = 100; M_Age = 24.54 years, SD_Age = 3.90 years) observed faces with happy, sad, and neutral expressions, while their facial muscle activity was recorded with electromyography. Attachment was measured with the Attachment Styles Questionnaire, which provides a multidimensional profile for preoccupied and dismissing styles. It was proposed that the preoccupied and dismissing styles are characterized by high and low intrinsic affiliation motivation, respectively, and these were hypothesized to manifest in enhanced and diminished FM. Participants showed happy and sad FM, yet attachment styles did not significantly predict FM. Bayes Factor analyses lend evidence favoring the null hypothesis, suggesting that adult attachment do not contribute to FM.

没有证据表明成年后依恋倾向会调节面部模仿：一项肌电图调查。

模仿他人是一种社会粘合剂：它能使互动更加顺畅，并促进从属关系。在此，我们研究了源自依恋关系的与他人建立联系的内在动机是否会调节个体的面部模仿（FM）行为。参与者（N = 100；MAge = 24.54 years, SDAge = 3.90 years）观察带有快乐、悲伤和中性表情的面孔，同时用肌电图记录他们的面部肌肉活动。依恋是通过依恋风格问卷来测量的，该问卷提供了先入为主风格和否定风格的多维特征。据推测，先入为主型和漠视型分别具有高和低内在依恋动机的特征，这两种类型会表现为调频的增强和减弱。受试者表现出快乐和悲伤的 FM，但依恋风格并不能显著预测 FM。贝叶斯因子分析提供了有利于零假设的证据，表明成人依恋不会导致FM。

期刊介绍： Since John Dewey and Carl Murchison founded it in 1929, The Journal of Social Psychology has published original empirical research in all areas of basic and applied social psychology. Most articles report laboratory or field research in core areas of social and organizational psychology including the self, attribution theory, attitudes, social influence, consumer behavior, decision making, groups and teams, sterotypes and discrimination, interpersonal attraction, prosocial behavior, aggression, organizational behavior, leadership, and cross-cultural studies. Academic experts review all articles to ensure that they meet high standards.
