Mimicry and automatic imitation

In the present research we tested whether different imitation tasks (i.e., mimicry and automatic imitation) are correlated and did not find a meaningful correlation. Moreover, personality traits such as empathy, autism traits, and traits related to self- versus other-focus did not correlate with mimicry or automatic imitation either.

在当前的研究中，我们检验了不同类型的模仿任务（即模仿与自动模仿）之间是否存在相关性，但并未发现显著的相关性。此外，诸如同理心、自闭症特质以及关注自我与他人方面的特质，与模仿或自动模仿之间亦无相关性。
