Do you think it is important to make a good first impression? Why? In my opinion, it is very importnat to make a good first impression, because first impression is of great significance to us nowadays, especially when we are applicants of an interview. After you watch Discussion 2. How can we achieve a good impression? To achieve a good first impression, we should give ourself a new look, for example, we’d better dress properly, talk decently, and behave well, thus we will leave a better impression. 1Learning to Learn - Plagiarism Part 1 1Learning to Learn - Plagiarism Part 1 $$Behavioral researchers have identified consistent patterns that seem to guide this process of impression updating. On one hand, learning very negative, highly immoral information about someone typically has a stronger impact, then learning very positive, highly moral information. So unfortunately, for our new friend from the football game, his bad behavior at the game might outweigh his good behavior at the park. Research suggests that this bias occurs because immoral behaviors are more diagnostic or revealing of a person's true character. Okay, so by this logic, bad is always stronger than good. When IT comes to updating, well, not necessarily. Certain types of learning don't seem to lead to this sort of negativity bias. When learning about another person's of abilities and competencies, for instance, this bias flips. It's actually the positive information that gets waited more heavily. Let's go back to that football game. If a player scores a goal, IT ultimately has a stronger impact on your impression of their skills, then if they missed the net, the two sides of the updating story are ultimately quite consistent. Overall behaviors that are perceived as being less frequent are also the ones that people tend to way more heavily when forming and updating impressions, highly immoral actions and highly competent actions. So what's happening at the level of the brain when we're updating our impressions using FMRI or functional magnetic resonance imaging, researchers have identified an extended network of brain regions that respond to new information that's inconsistent with initial impressions. These include areas typically associated with social cognition, attention and cognitive control. Moreover, when updating impressions based on people's behaviors, activity in the ventral lateral prefrontal cortex in the superior temporal focus correlates with perceptions of how frequently those behaviors occur in daily life. In other words, the brain seems to be tracking low levels statistical properties of behavior in order to make complex decisions regarding other people's character, IT needs to decide, is this person's behavior typical, or is IT out of the ordinary in the situation with the obnoxious football fan turned good, some american, your brain says, well, in my experience, pretty much anyone would lend someone their umbrella. But the way this guy acted at the football game, that was unusual and so you decide to go with your first impression, there's a good moral in this data, your brain. And by extension, you might care more about the very negative, immoral things another person has done compared to the very positive moral things. But it's a direct result of the comparative reality of those bad behaviors. We're more used to people being basically good, like taking time to help a stranger in need. In this common text, bad might be stronger than good, but only because good is more plentiful. Think about the last time you judged someone based on their behavior, especially a time when you really feel like you changed your mind about someone. Was the behavior that caused you to update your impression, something you to expect anyone to do, or was IT something totally out of the ordinary? Imagine you write a football game when this obnoxious guy sits next to you. He's loud, he spills his drink on you and he makes one of your team. Days later, you're walking in the park when suddenly IT starts to pour rain, who should show up at your side to offer you an umbrella? The same guy from the football game. Do you change your mind about him based on this second encounter? Or do you go with your first impression and write him off? Research in social psychology suggests that we're quick to form lasting impressions of others based on their behaviors. We managed to do this with little effort, inferring stable character traits from a single behavior like a harsh word or a clumsy step. Using our impressions as guides, we can accurately predict how people are going to behave in the future, armed with the knowledge. The guy from the football game was a jerk the first time you met him. You might expect more of the same down the road. If so, you might choose to avoid him the next time you see him. That said, we can change our impressions in light of new information.
