The Impact of Mimicry on Tobacco Addiction
Tobacco addiction, a major cause of preventable death, requires an understanding of how it develops and is maintained. This paper examines mimicry as a ‘social glue’ in smokers' social interactions and its influence on the development and maintenance of smoking behaviour. A first laboratory experiment showed that nonverbal mimicry (physical actions, hand and arm movements and body posture) increases cigarette consumption due to increased liking f…
Presença de Comenius na Ibero-América
Desde a época colonial, quando suas obras didáticas para o ensino do latim foram extensamente utilizadas nos seminários católicos, registra-se a presença de João Amos Comenius (1592-1670) na educação latino-americana. A princípio por meio da circulação de seus manuais para o ensino de línguas, dentre os quais o Orbis Pictus teve papel destacado, em seguida por sua associação com o método intuitivo no século XIX e com a Escola Nova já no século XX…

The spillover effect of mimicry
Social Biases During Covid 19
This open access book focuses on a critical aspect of pandemic behavior, which is how important information is communicated.
It Matters to Whom You Compare Yourself
Unrealistic Optimism (UO) appears when comparing participants’ risk estimates for themselves with an average peer, which typically results in lower risk estimates for the self. This article reports nuanced effects when comparison varies in terms of the gender of the peer. In three studies (total N = 2,468, representative sample), we assessed people’s risk estimates for COVID-19 infections for peers with the same or other gender. If a peer’s gende…
Is the Covid-19 Fake News game good news? Testing whether creating and disseminating fake news about vaccines in a computer game reduces people's belief in anti-vaccine arguments
Improving vaccination eagerness is crucial, especially during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and establishing new procedures to achieve that goal is highly important. Previous research (Roozenbeek & van der Linden, 2019a, 2019b) has indicated that playing the "Bad News" game, in which a player spreads fake news to gain followers, reduces people's belief in fake news. The goal of the present paper was to test an analogous new game called "COVID-19 …
Exposing People to Others Not Following Recommendations Reduces Unrealistic Optimism. An Experiment During a Pandemic
Forty years of research on Unrealistic Optimism - a delusion that negative events are less likely and positive events are more likely to happen to oneself (in comparison to others) - has proved to be robust. Importantly, as a result, people holding this bias reduce their engagement in health prevention and following medical recommendations, etc., leading to the conclusion that this bias is dangerous. However, there is hardly any research on how t…
Mimicry or Responsiveness? Verifying the Mimicry-as-a-Social-Glue Hypothesis
Mimicry has been proven to be responsible for many social consequences linked to social bonding: improved trust, liking, and rapport. This accumulating empirical evidence has mostly been based on experimental designs focused on comparisons between two conditions: an experimental condition involving mimicking behavior versus a control condition in which any movement or direct verbal reaction is withdrawn. Thus, it is unclear whether the observed d…
Social Biases During Covid 19
Biased Social Comparison in the Moment of Crisis
The better-than-average effect (BTAE) is a mechanism where people perceive oneself as better than others. The BTAE could be one of the phenomena explaining why people follow - in the moment of a global health crisis - guidelines ("I am superior to others, and I [will]) take extra precautions, e.g., a vaccine shot"). In this paper, we investigate the BTAE with 3,066 respondents. In Study 1, in all countries, across two measurements in time, the BT…
Imagining is Not Observing
Individuals automatically mimic a wide range of different behaviors, and such mimicking behavior has several social benefits. One of the landmark findings in the literature is that being mimicked increases liking for the mimicker. Research in cognitive neuroscience demonstrated that mentally simulating motor actions is neurophysiologically similar to engaging in these actions. Such research would predict that merely imagining being mimicked produ…
Covid-19 and a biased public mentality toward infection and vaccination
Unrealistic Optimism in the context of COVID-19 is described as the tendency to perceive peers as being more at risk of infection. To date, however, no research has proposed more specific comparisons. The present article not only replicates the most recent body of literature showing that people perceive themselves as less prone to COVID-19 infection than their peers, but fills the aforementioned gap by providing additional and more specific compa…
Ensino mútuo e independência no Brasil
Introduzido na América Latina em pleno processo de independência política da região, o método de ensino mútuo constituiu uma primeira tentativa de organizar a educação elementar nas novas nações emergentes no continente. Encarado como a solução mais econômica e eficaz para a escolarização do povo, o método configurou para os governantes das décadas iniciais do século XIX, um modelo de escolarização adequado à realidade pós-colonial. Neste trabalh…
Dialogue and labeling. Are these helpful in finding volunteers
Among social influence techniques, a special place is occupied by dialogue involvement - it is not only a means of improving chances for compliance, but it can also perform a synergistic function, reinforcing the workings of other influence techniques. In two field experiments, we explored what effectiveness the technique of dialogue involvement can have in acquiring volunteers (Study 1) and how it functions in combination with the labeling techn…
Guilt is never to be doubted? A novel experimental procedure
The literature shows that researchers used a wide variety of types of guilt manipulation. A common feature of these studies was that the subjects were not able to doubt their guilt. Additionally, these methods did not take into account the psychometric measurement of this emotion, as well as the possibility of simultaneously inducing other feelings, such as sadness or anger. In a carefully designed experiments, we found a method that is approacha…
Um ábaco para ensinar frações
Este artigo objetiva descrever como a voga do ensino intuitivo no último quartel do século XIX, por intermédio do incentivo à utilização de materiais concretos, influenciou o modo de se ensinar a aritmética elementar no Brasil. Focalizando a apropriação feita por Abílio César Borges (1824-1891), o Barão de Macaúbas, de materiais didáticos produzidos na Europa para uso em suas escolas, o trabalho se baseia fundamentalmente em sua conferência acerc…
Reforma agrária e educação
Com a implementação de uma agricultura familiar sustentável, envolvendo efetivamente crianças, jovens e adultos, o Movimento dos Trabalhadores Rurais Sem Terra (MST) está desenvolvendo nos seus assentamentos um modelo de produção cooperativo e agroecológico fortemente baseado na educação. Neste trabalho, fundamentado em pesquisa exploratória acerca da educação oferecida nos assentamentos do MST, discutem-se os riscos virtuais dessa educação ambie…
A institucionalização da Escola Normal no Brasil
A criação de Escolas Normais públicas nas províncias teve de se acomodar ao ensino secundário ministrado nos Liceus, essencialmente masculinos e dedicados à preparação para o ingresso no ensino superior, e que tiveram sempre como modelo o Colégio Pedro II no Rio de Janeiro. Os diversos Liceus provinciais constituíram referência fundamental para o desenvolvimento do ensino normal, emprestando seus professores, suas instalações e seus regulamentos …
História da pedagogia no Brasil
Analisa três linhas de pesquisa, desenvolvidas neste século, focadas em manuais de pedagogia em circulação no Brasil. Após descrever seus instrumentos de pesquisa, é discutida a consistência de seus resultados, particularmente no que se refere às classificações dos manuais elaboradas pelas pesquisas. A partir dos tipos de manuais definidos por essas pesquisas, procura-se avaliar as possibilidades futuras desses programas de pesquisa, especialment…
The mere liking effect
The Conversational Chameleon
Verbal mimicry research claims that repeating words spoken by another makes people more eager to comply with requests made by the mimicker (e.g., fulfilling a request to donate to charity). Instead, another mechanism might explain these results. Recent studies found that when a request was preceded by engaging a participant in dialogue (defined as a short conversation), the participant was more willing to fulfill the request. Thus, verbal mimicry…
Uma Fonte Inédita Para Historiar a Recepção De Comenius No Brasil
A partir da descoberta de um número da revista A Escola Normal editado no Rio de Janeiro em 1926 e dedicado inteiramente a Comenius é feita neste trabalho uma análise da recepção do educador morávio na educação brasileira nas primeiras décadas do século passado. O artigo procura identificar as diversas representações da obra de Comenius em circulação nos meios educacionais da época e que estão presentes no periódico carioca. Revelando aspectos im…
The Echo Effect
Research on the chameleon effect has demonstrated that social benefits, such as liking, safety, rapport, affiliation, and cohesion can be evoked through nonverbal imitation (e.g., body language and mannerisms). Herein, we introduce the echo effect, a less researched phenomenon of verbal mimicry, in a real-world setting. Study participants, 330 currency exchange office customers, were assigned into one of three experimental and two control conditi…
