First Impressions Essay

Many people base their opinions about others on first impressions. We do not take the time to get to know someone and create a relationship with them. With a first impression many usually look at fashion. We judge people 's social status based on looks. At times, we apply the same idea of judging a book by its cover to other humans even without noticing. We examine their every move trying to find something different about them. Just

To analyze my idea that first impression isn’t good enough to judge a person. some people might agree with the ideal assumption of first impressions are almost impossible to change while some of us disagree. In order to know someone better and to be a true and honest friend we have to get to know each other with certain amount of time. The you get to know somebody, the best you can evaluate them. First impression isn’t everything but it is helpful for our next level. So please people don’t judge a person by first look get to know them

Everyone has primacy effects to the person that he or she first meets, maybe base on the dressing, behaviors, even hair style. People always want to give others a good first impression, especially searching for a job or having an interview, because sometimes it is hard to change the formed first impression, and this first impression may decide whether they can have jobs or not. However, the absolute thing does not exist in the world. A bias named recency effect comes out. Recency effect is something may leads people to change the first impression. Perhaps just a casually action, or an accumulated over a long period hard working, the first impression will be changed. For example, Cady has a not bad impression on Regina, for Regina is really beautiful and cute, like a Barbie doll. But everything changes after Regina seduces Aaron, who is the boy Cady really loves. The first impression is ruined, Cady becomes hating Regina, and wants to revenge

Another prominent issue with people today is the judging of one’s character based solely on their appearance. People are harsh with their words and quick to judge on another. This problem is especially seen with the younger generation of society, though is common amongst all people. Most people do not give others the honest chance to become well-acquainted because they have already judged the person

Have you ever made a first impression about a person, but when you actually talk to or learn about the person you found out that what you thought, was completely wrong? Humans are always making assumptions based off what they see at that very moment. For instants, an athlete makes an error and a coach judge them for that error , yet that athlete is just having a bad day. Another would be someone meeting a person for the first time, and the way they act around you, makes you have a first impression of them. Not everyone that you meet, will be the same or have the same thought as you, nor will they always make a great first impression. It’s the little bit of time you spend with the person that you find out they’re different from what you was thinking. First Impressions can be very deceiving as shown in various British Literature pieces such as “Beowulf”, “Pride and Prejudice” and “Sir Gawain and the Green Knight”.

How first impressions are formed has been a subject of interest by many researchers in the area of psychology.

This article argues that physical appearance matters. In this society, children are being told lies and adults have trouble explain away the importance of physical appearance. This article gives an example of how a poor physical feature affected Robert Hoge’s life since birth. This article was written as an open discussion post. I will be using this source as an example of how physical attractiveness can affect one’s life.

Social cognition depends first and far most on information and accurate information is needed to understand a person. Sometimes we have very little information to base our judgment on, yet that does not stop us from making further intuitions about other people or situations. Psychologist, Janine Willis and Alex Todorov, have demonstrated this fact through a Face perception research or snap judgments study— (Gilovich et al, 2012). In this study, participants were shown a variety of faces and their task was to rate how attractive, aggressive, liable, trustworthy, and competent each person seemed. The results displayed that people are more likely approach those they perceive as trustworthy and not aggressive and less likely to approach that they anticipant as untrustworthy and aggressive (Gilovich et al, 2012). In the case of racism, the heated relationship between the white policemen and black community is related to the first impression of each party that created stereotypes based on their

First impressions, whether positive or negative, can play a critical role in someone’s judgement of other people. Stereotypes can cause a rush to judgement leading to an inaccurate conclusion. There are six common errors in judgement that can affect your critical thinking process (Bethel University, 2013).

We should mot judge the people based on their appearance because the appearance will not tell how the person is the person without the good appearance he will have a good talents and success in his life the appearance is a just the way what we see but based on the appearance we can't judge the people the people who have a good character and behaviour he will be success in his life if a person who don't have a good character but his appearance is good the person will not have a good future

When you are in a social situation, your senses are being bombarded with information. To try to make sense of it all, your brain uses many shortcuts to assess your surroundings. One of these little shortcuts involves making a snap decision about a person based on their appearance to them. If you are greeted by

Literature on the topic of attractiveness is very extensive. The human face is something that catches every ones attention and more over the scientists as well the psychologists are interested in analyzing the ability of humans to extract information of the others. Several factors and features are associated with attractiveness. Some examples include facial symmetry, skin color, facial traits, clear skin and health of facial skin. It is hypothesized that facial symmetry is an important factors in measuring physical attractiveness. Different features may be perceived as attractive by different people.

The articles that I read discussed Social Perception. Social Perception was described as interpreting information about other people. If you feel that you are familiar with a person, you perceive to have a better understanding of that person intention. The pattern of thinking can affect a person’s perception of others. The social contexts, in which you meet someone, can play a

First impressions are always used in setting the tone when you first meet someone. Without the luxury of knowing the persons background, you initially judge someone by the way that person introduces themselves and how they come across to you. By coming across, I mean the way a person carries themselves. For example, if the person comes across as shy and introverted, you tend to think of that person as timid and somewhat weak. However, if that same person comes across as outgoing, confident (but not to confident) and easy to talk to, you look at that person as someone you can count on and possibly a leader. This type of evaluation (even though we all do it) is for the most part not always the right way to evaluate a person.

It has been previously proven, that in the first few moments of meeting someone, we form an opinion of them. The problem with this idea is stereotypes. One of our society's biggest mistake is that we judge people based on what they look like, or how they act.
