Description

Grounded in cutting-edge theory and research, this book brings together leading investigators to examine how first impressions are formed; the psychological, biological, and evolutionary processes that underlie them; and their consequences for individuals and society. Chapters present compelling findings on what people infer about others from such cues as facial features, expressions, skin tones, physical movements, and the environmental context. Factors that make first impressions more or less accurate are identified, including the type of inference being made as well as the impact of perceiver characteristics and stereotyping. The book also reveals the significant impact of first impressions--positive or negative--on emotions, cognitions, and behavior.

  • What to wear to your first interview

    I had my first internship last summer. As I scheduled interviews and prepared my portfolio, do you want to know my biggest fear and the source of my nervousness? I had no idea what to wear.

How ironic that this is also the ti...
