A
When I was a kid,I used to spend hours listening to Adam Carolla and Dr.Drew Pinsky on their Sunday night radio show Loveline.I listened so often that I began to use one of their wellknown phrases—“good times”—in my daily conversations.Scientists have a name for this phenomenon:behavior mimicry.
You’ve probably experienced this before:after spending enough time with another person,you might become familiar with his or her behavior or speech habits.You might even start to develop your friend’s habits without realizing it.There is a large body of literature about this sort of phenomenon,and it regularly happens for everything from body postures to accents to drink patterns.For example,one study found that young adults were more likely to drink their drinks directly after their samesex drinking partners,than to drink at their own paces.
And the effect isn’t only limited to facetoface activities of real life .Another study found that the same “youdrinkthenIdrink” pattern held even when watching a movie! In other words,people were more likely to take a drink of their drinks in a theater after watching the actors on the screen enjoy a drink.
As for most experiments,these results raise a lot of questions.The finding that behavior mimicry may at least partly account for eating behavior is still important,and has real effects on health.The researchers explain that “as long as people don’t fully recognize such important influences on intake,it will be difficult to make healthy food choices and keep a healthy diet,especially when people are exposed to the eating behavior of others”.
