...were after some sort of social bond. Some years later, in 1999, the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology published an influential paper showing how socially bonding the act of mimicking can be, even when people aren't aware they're being imitated. In the study, psychologists Tanya Chartrand, who is now at Duke, and John Bargh, who is now at Yale, asked college students to describe a set of photographs in one-on-one discussions with researchers. During the discussions, the researchers subtly but consistently mirrored the mannerisms and posture of the students. If one of the college kids...
Five years after Chartrand and Bargh's paper was published, a team of Dutch researchers expanded on the findings in an article in Psychological Science. The Dutch team not only replicated the earlier research but also found that people become more altruistic after they have been imitated. Mimicked participants in the Dutch study, which was conducted in the same way as the Chartrand and Bargh study, were willing to help a researcher who had "accidentally" dropped some pens 84% of the time; those in the control group helped pick up the pens only 48% of the time. The Dutch team...
...advantage, deeply rooted in our evolutionary biology - even monkeys become more willing to engage in a kind of commerce with those who imitate them. The practical implications are pretty obvious: if you want something from someone, a good way to get it is to imitate them. But, as the Chartrand and Bargh study suggests, do it subtly. If you're discovered copying someone's every move, you might seem a little creepy - although you could probably still fool a monkey...
...assisted by junior Randi Griffin and tri-captain Sarah Vaillancourt. Sophomore Kate Buesser made it 2-0 at 9:55 in the second, with classmate Amy Uber getting the assist. The Martlets would get back within one at 12:53 of the second, on a goal by sophomore Cathy Chartrand. After McGill pulled its goalie with 1:25 to play, junior Caroline Hill added a second goal with just two seconds remaining in the game. Harvard was 1-for-6 on the power play, while the Martlets were unable to score in their six opportunities. Junior Christina Kessler, sophomore Kylie...
Canada outshot Russia 60-6. St. Lawrence’s Isabelle Chartrand scored her first career Olympic goal on a blue-line shot, and Dartmouth signee Cherie Piper scored the second the goal of her Olympics. Piper, once one of team’s final cuts, has established herself since being reinstated...
