behavior matching

Behavior matching is when an individual subtly copies or mirrors another person's actions, gestures, or tone during a conversation or interaction. This technique helps build rapport and trust by creating a sense of connection and understanding. It's often used in social and professional settings to make interactions smoother and more comfortable. Essentially, it involves observing and subtly aligning one's behavior with that of others, without mimicking or exaggerating, to foster a positive relationship.
