Key to Making a Good Impression

“If you want to make a good impression, it is critical that it is done in person,” said Jeremy Biesanz, Ph.D., of the University of British Columbia, who conducted three studies comparing the accuracy and bias of first impressions when formed under different circumstances.

The first study analyzed a series of experiments involving more than 1,000 participants who met each other through either a three-minute speed-dating style interview or by watching a video of the person.

“What we observe here is that the accuracy of impressions is the same when you meet someone face to face or simply watch a video of them,” Biesanz said. “However, impressions are much more negative when you form impressions more passively through watching videotapes.”

While people could accurately attribute certain personality traits, such as extroverted, arrogant, or sociable, to others in person or by video, the magnitude of the positive attributes was lower via video, while the negatives attributes were higher.

The researchers found similar results in two other studies, including one that compared in-person impressions to those obtained by looking at Facebook photos. The other study compared in-person meetings to simply watching someone as a passive observer. In all cases, the passive means of making impressions were as accurate as the active ones, according to the researchers.

“However, there is an extremely large difference in the positivity of impressions,” he said. “More passive impressions are substantially more negative.”

Making a Proper Apology

I am commenting on and working with the media analyzing apology statements, and speak and write about proper apologies. Making a Proper Apology

https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/2018/06/04/politics/bill-clinton-monica-lewinsky-apology/index.html

If you been reading my work you know I discuss that narcissists don’t feel guilt or remorse for their wrong actions The are just sorry that THEY have to suffer any personal repercussions.

In this case, Clinton gave a public apology to get the public to think well of him. Clinton does not have any empathy for the pain he caused her. And she has suffered for years. He did not take the very simple steps to apologize to the women he harmed and make amends. And he brags about not doing it.

In your life be kind. Do the right thing. Apologize when you have done wrong. There are people you have the right to call out for their bad behavior. If they continue to get away with it, they won’t learn and others will think they can act badly too.
