The word comes from the old French verb rapporter which means literally to carry something, but in the sense of how people relate to each other, which means that one person sends out the other sends back.

For example, they may realize that they share similar values, beliefs, knowledge, or behavior, politics, music or sport.

It may also mean that the participants are engaged in reciprocal behaviors, such as posture mirroring or strengthening of the coordination of their verbal and non-verbal interaction.

There are a number of methods that should strengthen the rapport such as: matching body language showing attentiveness by maintaining eye contact and matching the pace, terminology, and rhythm of breathing.

In conversation, some verbal behaviour related to the increase in rapport is the use of positivity or positive face control, sharing personal information is gradually increasing intimacy or self-realization and, referring to shared interests or experiences.

Rapport has been shown to have benefits for psychotherapy and medicine, talks, and education, among others.

In each of these cases the relationship between members of the dyad, for example, teacher and student or doctor and patient allows the participants to coordinate their actions and establish mutually beneficial working relationships, or often called a working Alliance.

These include coordination, showing their care for others, community building, and managing a range of self-perception is also called the face of management.

Posture mirroring matching the tone of the persons body language not through direct imitation, as this can appear as mockery, but through mirroring the General message of their posture and energy.

Emotional mirroring empathizing with someones emotional state, being on their side.

You need to apply the skill to be a good listener in this situation, as you can search for key words and problems that arise when talking with a person.

This is so you can talk about these issues and ask them questions to better understand what they are saying and show your empathy towards them.

Tone and tempo mirroring matching the tone, tempo, intonation and volume of voice entities.

This care may take the form of non-verbal attentiveness, for example, looking at the other person, nodding at the right moments, or physical proximity as shown in the teacher immediacy behaviors in school.

This care can also be demonstrated by the reciprocating motion of non-verbal behaviours like smiles or nods, like coordination and mutual exchange of personal information about another person that signal the knowledge and attentiveness to their needs.

This is done by reference to common interests, dislikes, and experiences.

Through the exchange of personal data and the self-revelation of personal preferences or information, the parties can build a community, and thus increase rapport.

According to some psychologists, we have a need to be seen in a positive light, known as our face.

Managing each other in person, increasing it if necessary or reduce the negative impact on it, we can build relationships with others.

In healthcare, the doctor-patient relationship is often called the therapeutic Alliance or therapeutic relationship, and is a measure of the quality of cooperation between the provider and the patient, is often used as a predictor of the outcomes of therapy and patient adherence to treatment.

In education, teacher-student relationships is the participation of students in the intellectual process, of storage, of course, the probability to take a course again in this area, and is sometimes used to predict future outcomes, of course.

Some have argued that teacher-student relationship is an important element of what makes an effective teacher, or the ability to manage interpersonal relationships and creating a positive, Pro-social, confidence and reducing anxiety.

Student-student relationships, on the other hand, largely because of the ability of the teacher to control is also forecast to reduce anxiety in the process, feelings favourable class culture, and participation in discussions in class.

In negotiation, rapport is beneficial to achieve mutually beneficial results, since the more the partners trust each other and are ready to cooperate and achieve a positive result.
