The antecedents and consequences of human behavioral mimicry. (2013, background): “Later research extended this to mimicry of facial muscles, with high-empathy participants more likely to mimic both happy and angry expressions, even if exposure to those expressions was short (Sonnby-Borgström 2002; see also Sonnby-Borgström et al. 2003).”
Empathy: Gender effects in brain and behavior (2014, background): “Females, compared to males, exhibit greater facial mimicry when viewing expressions (Dimberg and Lundquist, 1990; Lundqvist, 1995; Sonnby-Borgström et al., 2003) and rely more than males on facial feedback for recognizing facial expressions (Stel and van Knippenberg, 2008).”
The Development of Empathy : How , When , and Why (2010, background): “In addition, individuals with high trait empathy have been found to engage in more facial mimicry than those with low trait empathy (Sonnby-Borgstrom et al. 2003).”
