Why elevators have mirrors in them?

Question

Almost every elevator I’ve been in has a mirror inside. Exceptions are paternoster or technical elevators.

Does it reduce claustrophobia? Does it make the space look bigger? Does it entertain passengers?

Answer 1

So humans can look at the most beautiful thing in their life… themselves. I read somewhere that it was added when elevators were slow and this was an implemented trick to increase patience/make time fly.
