Cortisol, also known as "stress hormone", is known for its increased secretion when it is sensitive to stress and undergoes excessive stress. In other words, in the survey, 26% of the observers themselves were not placed under a stressful environment felt stress.

Looking at the breakdown, cortisol secretion increase was observed in 40% of cases where the relationship between the pair was familiar and 30% when observing through the Magic Mirror.

In addition, it was said that there was an increase in cortisol secretion in 10% of cases when the other party was a stranger and 24% of the observers over the TV monitor.
