The character in this video undergoes a great personality shift, the most visible affect is his body language becoming more dominant and take charge as well as his speech becoming very fast processed and leading with some sort of authority that makes even the tough guy policeman think he's who he's claiming to be.
This type of adaptive behaviour, I'd like to know the psychology behind it. How does it work? What is the motivation behind it? What is its purpose? What does it say about the person who uses it?
This guy in the tv show adapts his behaviour according to the people he's scene or the super powers he's absorbed. The closest I'd say is emotional contagion but it's intentional, it's done purposedly to mimic the personality, manneurisms, or to create even new ones in different cases.
I've also noticed that when some people are around others, their behaviours and maneurisms also adapt and become similar to those or the person around them unconsciously.
What is the purpose of this? :O
so I am asking what is the psychology behind the intentional and at times unintentional 'personality shift'?
