Mimicry refers to observing and copying the behaviors of other mothers. An example of mimicry is:
a. Baby-sitting for a neighbor's children.
b. Wearing maternity clothes before they are needed.
c. Daydreaming about the newborn.
d. Imagining oneself as a good mother.
B
Wearing maternity clothes before they are needed helps the expectant mother "feel" what it's like to be obviously pregnant.
Babysitting other children is a form of role-playing in which the woman practices the ex-pected role of motherhood.
Daydreaming is a type of fantasy where the woman "tries on" a variety of behaviors in prep-aration for motherhood.
Imagining herself as a good mother is the woman's effort to look for a good role fit. She ob-serves behavior of other mothers and compares them with her own expectations.
