Is this? a, the facial feedback effect.
00:10
B, culture -specific effect.
00:13
C, natural mimicry effect.
00:15
Or d, the emotional contagion effect.
00:17
Let's start by rolling up b, because this is not a culture -specific thing in any way.
00:22
This is biological in nature.
00:25
And now let's define the other terms.
00:27
So natural mimicry is where we unconsciously imitate other people when we're interacting with them.
00:33
Maybe their posture, maybe their mannerisms or how they speak, but it's unconscious and it's not related to this.
00:42
Emotional contagion is another part of social behaviour, and it's where we pick up emotions from other people or other people pick up our emotions.
00:51
So effectively, the emotions spread between people.
00:54
And it's not this either.

The answer is a, facial feedback...
