asha is a suspect being questioned for his involvement in a robbery. while he is being interviewed, he notices the police officer uses similar gestures and that they are both sitting with their legs crossed. when the police officer uncrosses his legs, asha does the same. which method of building rapport is the officer most likely using during asha’s interview?
options:

• developing shared experiences
• engaging in small talk
• identifying things in common
• mirroring

Explanation:

The question is about a police officer using a method to build rapport by mirroring Asha's gestures (like leg crossing/uncrossing). Mirroring is a technique where one imitates another's non - verbal behavior to build rapport. The other options: developing shared experiences is more about finding common past events, small talk is casual conversation, and identifying common things is about finding shared interests. The officer's action of copying gestures is mirroring.

Answer:

D. mirroring
