This commentary addresses emotional mimicry from a communication accommodation theory (CAT) perspective. After reviewing CAT, we outline commonalities between CAT and the Emotional Mimicry as Social Regulator view. We then discuss how CAT and the Emotional Mimicry as Social Regulator view can contribute to each other. Finally, we provide directions for future research on emotional mimicry informed by CAT, including ways to incorporate individual differences, listener-oriented perceptions, and variables relevant to families.
这篇评论从交际适应论（CAT）的角度探讨了情感模仿现象。在回顾 CAT 理论后，我们概述了 CAT 与情感模仿作为社会调节观点之间的共同之处。接着，我们讨论了 CAT 和情感模仿作为社会调节观点如何相互促进。最后，我们为受 CAT 启发的情感模仿的未来研究提供了方向，包括如何纳入个体差异、以听众为导向的感知以及与家庭相关的变量。
