This document summarizes research on the effect of mimicry in social interactions. It finds that mimicry leads to more positive evaluations of the mimicker and increases prosocial behaviors like helping. Two main explanations are discussed. First, mimicry may enhance feelings of affiliation between individuals from an evolutionary perspective, as it was an early form of social communication. Second, mimicry increases the perceived familiarity of the mimicker, which leads the mimicked person to evaluate them more positively and be more likely to help them and comply with their requests. A variety of studies are reviewed that support these explanations, finding mimicry increases rapport, affiliation with in-groups, persuasiveness, consumer compliance, and negotiation outcomes.
