Relationship Between Attributional Style, Information Valence, Likability, And Need For Cognitive Closure

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”.

impressions made on other people weather we are in contact with them or not (194). In the book,

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

People should educate themselves on another person’s character and personality before forming an opinion about them. In the modern era, people are so quick to judge others and decide whether they admire that someone based on a first impression or preconceived notion. The ramifications of this are sometimes irreversible.

They say a first impression is everything. However, I’ve found that these aren’t reliable. Some people cover their true feelings, trying to be tough. You never know what’s going on in people’s lives when you first meet them that causes them to act differently. And sometimes, we just make inaccurate assumptions. This is also true of things in literature.

The optimism bias pushes people towards positive change because most people want positive change and according to Tali Sharot to make changes in our life we must believe that the changes are possible. Even rather pessimistic people want to change there for they believe it is possible. When a person believes in change and anticipates the change it releases serotonin in the brain and brings about a happy feeling, there for improving their overall wellbeing.

firs impression is helping to make judgment to other people. if you make wrong with other person, he will hate you. for examples, when you push some person in the road and you raise your voice, he try to battling you. why sometimes say this is a poor person and may be we don't who is? because the form for body. try to be confidence with other person because the trust make other person enjoy when he see you. so, most person have trust instinct to other person because he want to do good. in my opinion, try to make a good judgment to other person because may be is the key for success. finally, the first impression key to recognize person, and it is the key for any

Everyone knows that first impressions have more meaning than anyone would like to admit. However, first impressions are not always lasting impressions. In fact first impressions can be just the beginning story to a series of stories. In this paper I will introduce you to a wonderful person I will call Roe that has many different stories to her series.

As Americans, we are generally recognized as a “positive and optimistic” group of people. This is our reputation as well as our self-image as a nation. The entire idea of positivity has overruled us and has been set almost as a basic, unquestioned standard in our nation. Through Barbara Ehrenreich’s novel, Bright-Sided, one can essentially generalize ideas about American culture, American society and the American experience in relation to this topic. To begin with, this novel describes to readers that the typical American cultural stereotype includes ideas that we “value the positive affect that seems to signal internal happiness” (Ehrenriech, 13).

I have never been the most optimistic person. Although I can find positivity in virtuous situations, I can also nitpick at minor negative aspects of substandard ones. As I read

Impression management is how we strive to create an image of ourselves as we want others to view

Impression Management (IM) are the behaviors that individuals use to shape how they are seen by others (Schneider, 1981). How an individual presents himself is critical throughout the selection process (e.g. interview and non-cognitive tests), once he’s hired, and throughout his career at an organization. The implications of Impression Management are broad for both the individual and organization. For an individual concerned over his image this may affect whether he participates in certain conversations, seeks feedback or engages in proactive behavior; thus this behavior may impact his performance and how others perceive his performance (Bolino, Long & Turnley, 2016). For the organization Impression Management can impact hiring decisions, performance evaluations, and promotions as these are decisions that are determined by how employees are seen by others (Bolino, Long & Turnley, 2016).

Nisbett and Timothy DeCamp Wilson (1977) in efforts to add supporting evidence to an ideal similar to the Halo Effect. They staged two interviews with participants where the interview in both was a man that had a distinct accent (Nisbett & Wilson,1977). The interviewer in one group was as charming as he could be in his “appearance and mannerisms and accent” (Nisbett & Wilson, 1977). In the other, he was instructed to basically act more strict and harsh to the subjects. The resulting difference in ratings of the interviewer’s personality and other factors by the participants spoke to how people immediately judge someone based on how they presented themselves through multiple characteristics.

This Study verified that your first impressions are lasting and can directly affect your personal or working relationships. It was also very interesting that if you have already made that first impression and have developed a level of trust, the outcome is different. The same betrayal of trust in this case can be rebuilt, as long as the first impression was positive and the relationship was a good one. Therefore, that good first impression that your parents are always harping on, (they are pretty smart after all) is a really important aspect of life.

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.
