Emotional contagion: Humans are susceptible to "catching" emotions and mirroring behaviors of those around them. When witnessing someone expressing a particular emotion or behavior, it can trigger a similar response within us, leading to imitation. Cultural transmission: Cultural norms, customs, and traditions play a significant role in shaping our behaviors. People often copy behaviors from their cultural background, as they are taught to follow specific practices and conform to societal expectations. Overall, the act of copying behaviors from others is a natural part of human interaction and often serves various psychological, social, and cultural functions.
