Question

Shawn's sister-in-law always has a smile on her face and a joke to tell. The moment she walks into Shawn's house he starts smiling, even before she says something funny. This is NOT caused by:

A. automatic mimicry.

B. mood linkage.

C. chameleon effect.

D. individualism

Answer 1

Shawn's tendency to smile in response to his sister-in-law's demeanor is not influenced by individualism, which emphasizes personal independence rather than group dynamics.

Step-by-step explanation:

Shawn's reaction to his sister-in-law's presence is NOT caused by D. individualism. Individualism is a social theory favoring freedom of action for individuals over collective or state control. In the case described, several psychological phenomena related to social interaction and mirroring behaviors are at play, which include:

Automatic mimicry: The unconscious imitation of someone else's behavior, such as smiling when you see someone else smile.

Mood linkage: The phenomenon where individuals tend to share the moods of the people around them.

Chameleon effect: The subconscious matching of one's actions or emotions to those of others in one's current social environment.

The fact that Shawn starts smiling even before his sister-in-law says something funny is likely due to mood linkage or the chameleon effect, not individualism which is unrelated to these mimicking behaviors.

Answer 2

Answer:D. individualism

Step-by-step explanation:

The individualism approach is focused on one's own ability to care for themselves that they put ahead what is best for them so it is about pursuing your own path whilst also accomodating others in your long term goal.

So this has nothing to do with making someone smile when you get into the house.

But all other terms can be a cause for thsis

Chameleon effect means you are able to unconsciously imitate other people's expressions or gestures.

Mood Linkage means we get affected by other people moods whether they are sad or happy or funny like Shawn who affect his sister by being a funny brother who always has a smile and his sister is now affected by it and find herself smiling too at the sight of Shawn.

Automatic mimicry is also our unconscious ability to imitate others such as their expressions
