When Imitation Doesn’t Flatter: The Role of Consumer Distinctiveness in Responses to Mimicry (2011, background): “Finally, Bailenson and Yee (2005) find that mimicry on the part of a digital avatar results in greater agreement with the avatar’s persuasive message.”
The antecedents and consequences of human behavioral mimicry. (2013, background): “In a twist on this, Bailenson & Yee (2005) found that participants liked a computer avatar that mimicked their head movements more than one that didn’t, and were more persuaded by its arguments.”
Social dimension of emotions and its implication for animal welfare (2012, background): “Thus, people like mimickers more than non-mimickers, and this was proven both for real human partners (Chartrand and Bargh, 1999) and for digital avatars that just indiscriminately mimicked a participant’s head movements at a 4-s delay (Bailenson and Yee, 2005).”
Facial Similarity Between Voters and Candidates Causes Influence (2008, background): “Specifically, when one uses digital media to automatically copy head movements (Bailenson & Yee, 2005) or hand-shake styles (Bailenson & Yee, 2007) they become more persuasive.”
Modulation of facial mimicry by attitudes (2008, methodology): “How successfully an avatar can be used as a research tool for studying interactions has recently been demonstrated by Bailenson and Yee (2005). Subjects rated a digital chameleon, i.”
State-of-the-Art in Visual Attention Modeling (2013, background): “Other research has studied high-level accounts of gaze behavior in natural environments for tasks such as sandwich making, driving, playing cricket, and walking (see Henderson and Hollingworth [177], Rensink [178], Land and Hayhoe [135], and Bailensen and Yee [179]).”
Of chameleons and consumption: The impact of mimicry on choice and preferences. (2008, background): “In the first direct exploration of the effects of mimicry on persuasion, Bailenson and Yee (2005) had participants interact with computer avatars in a virtual reality environment.”
Online information, extreme communities and internet therapy: Is the internet good for our mental health? (2007, background): “…and visually design their own characters in immersive virtual-reality-like environments, and so provide a vastly different experience to the previously studied methods of communication, and early research is suggesting that they may have unique psychological features (e.g., Bailenson & Yee, 2005).”
Service robots in hotels: understanding the service quality perceptions of human-robot interaction (2019, background): “Studies on human – computer interaction found that people use social rules and etiquettes when they interact with computers or robots (Bailenson & Yee, 2005; Bickmore, Pfeifer, & Jack, 2009).”
