“…Similarly, the choice of control condition in a mimicry or synchrony induction could potentially influence social-cognitive variables. While prominent studies on mimicry have used control conditions without any movement (e.g., Chartrand and Bargh, 1999 ; Van Baaren et al, 2004 ), other studies have used Anti-Mimicry conditions ( Dalton et al, 2010 ; Finkel et al, 2006 ; Kühn et al, 2010 ; Rauchbauer et al, 2020 ). In an Anti-Mimicry control condition, the confederate’s movements will be topographically misaligned to the participant’s, as compared to the Mimicry condition in which they are aligned.…”
