Yes, I recall such things. I was trying to see how far I could push it before they noticed. But they never did. Once I realised I was actually manipulating them I felt weird about it. Not something that came naturally to me, but interesting how easy it is to influence someone's perception and even behaviour when you put your mind to it. I did use similar techniques when dealing with difficult colleagues and I didn't feel bad about it because everyone benefited from getting along better.Deal.
Actually, there are clinical psychological studies on this topic. People who are in agreement tend to mimic each other's body language and if someone mimics your body language you will get a positive impression of them. As long as it's not too obvious, of course.
