Stress measures the variation in the pitch and volume of each speaker's voice to determine whether his or her voice betrays any discomfort or anxiety. Mirroring, finally, is a measurement of the speaker's empathy--how frequently he or she adopts the vocal intonations and inflections of the other, or repeats short phrases such as "uh huh" and "OK" if the other says them first. ...<BR/><BR/>If men engaged in mirroring, for example, women were more likely to be attracted to them.
